EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

A genuine moment for 'laughing out loud', then slapping your forehead, then just giving up

Did you get triggered?

Has anybody been called a SJW yet? ;)

Maybe I should carve it in clay, bake it and bury it somewhere too, just to be safe ;)

something something snowflake.

Today I learned being intolerant of people who are racist/misogynistic/bigoted is apparently as bad as being racist/misogynistic/bigoted.

Don't bury it, place it in a waste dump. Archaeologists always look for the rubbish pit as it tells so much about a society.

Perhaps 4chan /b needs to be claytabletted too then, the pits of the internet. And then put with the rubbish ;)

I did but it's still factually correct as Henry VII was a tyrant too. One modern theory is that Henry VII and VIII suffered from an inherited mental illness which predisposed them to paranoia and violent actions in later life. There's some interesting stuff on this in the notes to Philippa Gregory's book on Margaret Pole which I'd highly recommend as it's excellent.

Wow just refreshed the thread gosh

Anyone who believe that political correctness is a real thing are pigeon tosser.

Scobleism gold!

Well done Sarah Olney, good riddance Zac Goldsmith.

He'll be back, he's Tory royalty, a proper racist Leaver. Concerning that he still almost won in one of the UK's Remainiest constituencies.

Glad they came door knocking last night and reminded me to vote.

Heard this from a colleague as well. Sounds like they were well organised.

Bring back u bin scobled!

People who want to stay in the EU need to realise it is a straight war between leavers and remainers and we need to mobilise to crush leave. Forget Tory, Lib Dem, Labour divisions - anyone who wants to remain is a friend and anyone who wants to leave is the enemy.

A fair summary of where we are with Brexit from the perspective of a US journalist

^^brexist

Remainiest

But still very neo-lib / shy-tory.

That escalated quickly etc.

No use liberals sitting round moping and fragmenting. Identify the enemy and beat them.
