EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Meh - it was a twist on the old Naked Gun 'I hate two things: bigotry and the Dutch' joke.

Yeah, I get it, but it did give me an opening to have a pop back at everyone portraying the Leave camp as looking like this:

To be fair the UK grows shite bananas.

In.

It's funny hearing all the Brexit folk use the same tactics that the better together campaign used when the Scottish referendum was taking place.
It's also funny hearing Nicola sturgeon say the same things now, that the better together campaign said 2 years ago.

Independence Day?! I don't want an alien invasion! VOTE REMAIN!

Your vote is anonymous when counted, but there is fraud detection prior to that to prevent duplicates.

Yep I see that too and disagree with lexit.

#realpolitik

Odious cretins. Gove, Forage and BoJo should form a breakaway party to see how popular they are.

Someone I work with just said 'I am fed up with Brussels telling us how straight our bananas need to be'
Previously she has said 'There is no room for any more illegal immigrants' (actual lol)
Also she often rants about the £100million a week we pay them, and how the NHS would benefit more from it. Not entirely sure she realises that if Leave does happen, that money will not magically become available for whatever.

A classic expample of someone who lifts their opinions straight from the red tops. The country is full of people who do this. Sky News, Daily Mail, The Sun, etc... Any soundbite or fear-mongering headline immediately becomes their point of view, and Bullingdon Dave thinks it's a good idea to ask them what they might like while offering them a button to push. Offer eveyone a 'Bomb Syria' button and there are may, many people who would push it without a second thought.

I agree. But I also see the socialists failing in some Ni areas cos of impossible forces such as:

My church tells me...
Flags!

The sentiments taken out of Pandora's box by brexit aren't easy to contain.

If Amazon continue to fuck me over enough I'll happily make a banner and stand outside Call Me Dave's house until he does something about it.

Happy to help with this.

Oops.

D'oh!

Cameron's constituency, no?

Clearly a conspiracy.

Is the abuse of corporate taxation by Amazonesque companies not more likely the bigger the federal Europe gets and the more complex the rules and larger the loopholes.

The only way to successfully engage with tax avoidance is cooperation.

This. Totally this.

No. Cameron is Witney. This is one constituency over.

Cameron's constituency, no?

Clearly a conspiracy.

Cameron's constituency, perhaps, but who printed them?
Which reputable, Northern printworks might have made such an error... lolz.

Tax avoidance is the reason I voted remain.

It was the single issue for me. The whole referendum was too complex and none of the real issues were discussed, but I went through a process of prioritising what I felt was important until I reduced it to tax.

The UK is wealthy, the EU is wealthy. The class divides are entrenched, the rich get richer and the poor poorer, and even the middle class is dramatically reduced. There is finite wealth at any time, and it is distributed badly and the distribution gets worse each yeah... the rough conclusion I reached was that the technological revolution, has delivered efficiencies over the past 30 years to identify not just where to save cash and how to profit better, but also enormous automation of accounting and law... the rich, their companies, have never ever been more efficient machines of moving wealth from the lower echelons of society to the upper.

In my view, this whole referendum is only occurring because that efficiency finally hit the middle class who are outraged that they are not as wealthy as they once were. They've mistakenly blamed immigrants, whereas they should blame government for rimming banks and multi-nationals for so long that they'd rather do that than serve their people.

The EU, it's a mess. But they do have both the power and will to do something the UK government never would... to take on the multinationals and banks. It may be slow and archaic, but they do get there eventually. Herding cats, but you still would not want to be in the way once the herd arrives.

If anyone in this country thinks things are bad now, things are not as bad as when you remove the EU from the equation.

Tax avoidance/evasion by multinationals and banks, tax havens (mostly run by the City of London)... this was the single issue for me.

It's always about the economy.

Well put. I'm IN.

I never usually vote, it's pointless. Yes Minisrer sums up British parliamentary politics.

However this time the election has a bigger potential impact than usual. Either chose to think or be lied and scared into shooting yourself in the foot.

How is this going to affect Patta, Solebox & 24-Kilates sneaker buys? Or will the British artisan cobblers rise from the ashes of Flimby?

I'd really like to agree but since the EU has existed these things have increased so why should we believe that will change?

WTF?!

They have also increased outside the EU. So leaving will make little/no difference.
