EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._303_Polish_Fighter_Squadron

No. 303 ("Kościuszko") Polish Fighter Squadron (Polish: 303 Dywizjon Myśliwski "Warszawski im. Tadeusza Kościuszki") was one of 16 Polish squadrons in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. It was not just the highest scoring of the Hurricane squadrons during the Battle of Britain, but it had the highest ratio of enemy aircraft destroyed to their own lost (safest).

So Poland won the Battle of Britain...

Stick that up your Brexit, Nigel...

and we were just as grateful and gracious to them then as we are now:

No. 303 Squadron was the most effective Polish RAF squadron during the Second World War. Some sources state that its pilots were invited to the London Victory Parade of 1946, The Daily Telegraph says that it was the only representative of the Polish Armed Forces in the West. The invitation was refused because no other Polish units were invited. However, according to other sources No. 303 Squadron was not invited and so could not have refused the invitation. After the end of the war, squadron morale decreased due to the treatment of Poland by the Allies (Western betrayal of Poland), and the squadron was eventually disbanded in December 1946.

Bloody Poles, coming over here and fighting off the fascists

Taking the jobs off our Aces

I didn't think I would find an article summing it all up on joe.co.uk, but nail on head:

parklife.

Spot on article.

It's so true though. Damned if you do

the only people who are going to 'damn you' are the sort of mouthbreathing div shitpots who read the fackin' saaan for whom 'casually racist cunt' is a default setting. pissing them off is a sign you're doing something right.

Not so sure about that: There's quite a bit of virtual signalling in some places as well, where if you don't get your reasoning padded perfectly well within accepted language it blows up in a forum fight.

And even the mouthbreathing shitpots deserve a reasonable debate. Are they just aping the Scum but don't really believe it? Perhaps there are some ways to have them listen.

It's frigging hard though to have a conversation with the "go home" crowd.

(and yes I unfriended one of those on my FB after repeated but polite questions on what should happen with EU nationals after brexit, the UK was full apparently)

Full of arseholes as it turns out....

Ah now, not all of you etc.

Group hug? ;)

You socialise with experts?

Also a nice cartoon by Steve Bell:

She's a very clever woman, our Ange...

She's just trying to pull a fast one on Brexit voters, I see right through her.

I bet for her Brexit doesn't even mean Brexit.

Brexit means Brexit and you should all shut up and accept it.

You traitors.

I can confirm that I'm making a success of breakfast (greek yogurt and granola)*

*dam it, that's way too continental isn't it.

Leftover curry on toast for me.

I'm embracing new markets.
