EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

May is the least liberal person in the house- her snoopers charter is insane. Possible racist.

Gove is apparently the puppet of his ghastly wife and lost no confidence votes to teachers groups and unions while he fucked up our schools. Wrote a book about how he wanted to privatise the NHS. Likely racist.

Insane Machiavellian shenanigans across politics a week after that poor woman was shot and they sobbed about a new respect in politics and getting back to basics. Unapologetic utter scumbags the lot of them

Snoopers charter has been altered a lot on its way through parliament, the opposition parties say there is still work to be done, but are broadly supportive.

A pub argument -

A: I hate those foreigners taking our jobs.
B: Those foreigners have kept some local businesses open.
A: Well i hate them.
B: Why? Because local people won't work and, at least, the companies are still in business.
A: I didn't fight in the war for that.
B: FFS! Wise up and get on with your bigoted life, have you ever considered what you were fighting for?
A: SILENCE!

The above conversation occurred a month ago and the 'war veteran' went quiet, and i know his views will never change. I suspect he is grinning now but he won't be in a position to comment on any medium to long-term Brexit affects as he was old and won't live long enough to appreciate what his ilk have voted for.

I avoid being ageist and am careful to avoid saying or doing anything which may upset any minority groups. I think i am a realist and know that 'we all must live together' but the blatant racism displayed by 'older people' really annoys me. My mother is one of the 'older generation' who holds these views. How can i teach my daughter to accept different races when she is subjected to 'veiled' racism?

To some people, the Brexit referendum appears to give them carte blanche to openly present their racist views and, to some, to act on these views. This is a complete nightmare. Politicians are not criticising the racist behaviour enough and, i suspect, they don't want to get involved as any pandering to the 'durty fornnneers' would lose them votes. That is an f'ing disgrace.

I live in Norn Iron and we have enough difficulties already without the addition of Brexit. It would be fun to say 'these are challenging times', knowing that the politicians will eventually sort something out; on this occasion, that won't happen and we now have additional worries to contend with.

I wish i had someone to blame - one individual person, but i don't. Cameron pandered to his naysayers and held the vote, he did his best to Remain but failed. Corbyn (as mentioned previously) supported the Labour party position but, perhaps, he personally wanted Brexit - and did not do enough to support the party line. I suspect that his lack of support to Remain is the reason the vote went the way it did. (I have not explained that well)

Life is difficult here at the best of times an.d this nightmare situation is the cream on the cake. I am not so sure that it can get much worse. Perhaps, when i get to a certain age, the 'racist side' will appear, i hope not for the sake of my daughter.

Sad times.....

Now that our (up until very recently) EU commissioner, Lord Hill, has felt it necessary to resign, there is a vacancy at the table.
Maybe it would be a good idea if Mr Johnson were ordered to step up to the plate and fill this vacancy. He would be compelled to go to Brussels and share a platform with the very people he campaigned against, and it would be his job to attempt to sweep up the godawful mess he has helped to create.

Leave = increase labour cost for a bottom bracket service.

It's hardly mitigation, what she wanted was technically illiterate and borderline bonkers

Definite racist.

so is the consensus that Brexit ain't happening?

It wasn't supposed to happen, but the Leave campaign was too convincing.

Or just lied enough for people to believe.

Oh dear, I just heard tonight why Johnson pulled out of the Tory leadership election. It's a pretty good story, if very sad, and of course I can't tell anyone. #illuminati :)

Does it involve farmyard animals, swarfega and a diving suit?

You're confusing things with a night in with @General_Lucifer

Agreed with horatio or whoever said similar earlier - this type of posting should not be allowed here. Either spill it or zip it.

Yeah, or pandered to the fucking racist under tone.

Remember love thy neighbour? Or your essex bretheren, I read what you have been through. Yes I am pissed that my girlfriend is french and a French teacher in Loughton. Posh essex. On the day after the vote girlie was going on a school trip to France and the coach driver seemed over joyed that the foreigners were being kicked out. Lets not even go there about her fellow french teachers, who are english and are closet racist.

Glad I am on your ignore list as you won't see this.

Seriously? The population were told they were lies. I have argued with 'friends' that the 350 million was a real figure. Even after the info was told they were lies.

What was the point of posting that?

That's why we (don't) have darknet.

Ahem.

"Ten real stories of why Johnson didn't run. You wont believe number six!!"

I think it was a parody of an earlier post which said something similar.

^^ where do i click ?

Johnson & Murdoch in 'why i quit brexit and westminsters dirtiest secrets' exclusive. And ball-kick to Gove?

🔮

It's extra shit for Northern Ireland yes. And we've no leg to stand on.

At least Ni voted in...we are not as silly as some ppl think 😜

I blame vote leave too massive dishonesty about immigration, and why the DUP sucked up to leave is probably due to with favours rather than doing what's best for NI.

Not sure about long term future of this place now. But your daughter can get an Irish passport and avail of cheaper study fees abroad :)

Haha yes and singing it in a broad Ni accent using shitehawk makes it even better :)
