Re: EU referendum

So anyone remember how during the campaign Leave promised that the £350 million spent on Eu membership would go on the NHS, well Nigel Farage was admitted that this was a mistake.

Re: EU referendum

i don't even know what the fuck is going on anymore

hopefully this will all become very clear soon, but at the moment it's a massive shitstorm, and britain is right in the middle, being torn in two

apparently there's yet another thing that could veto the referendum. some sort of bylaw in the country basically states that if not all of the four states within the UK are happy with a decision being made, the country will have to bypass the referendum

i'm not sure if i'm quoting it right, heard it on the telly earlier, but there's a lot of shit going on rn
 
Re: EU referendum

Not only does the Brexit have a pretty dang negative impact on the economy, we also must note of the fallout effect it has on other countries: we now have Texans clamoring for "Texit" (a state, but still similar to countries), France clamoring to leave, and other countries. This referendrum is a disaster. I don't believe anything what the Leave campaigners say, but here we are, their bad arguments resonating with uninformed and misinformed British voters. It's pretty dang scary.
 
Re: EU referendum

I've read about several instances of radicalised racism in England and Wales, where Poles, Muslims and Asians were outright told to leave the country. There are two things I want to happen: the UK does not leave the EU, or if it does then England and Wales specifically need to suffer. Scotland and Northern Ireland are all right, but England and Wales not so much. I don't want to wish any English or Welsh people eternal hell, but what I'm worried about is the continued rise of brown politics that may be deemed 'legitimised' by people living in other countries. Again, I don't wish hell on any English and Welsh people, and if you voted Remain then I'm sorry for you, but I don't want the domino effect ruining Europe.
 
Re: EU referendum

Right-wing newspapers that have bashed the EU for ages have told their readers what "Brexit" means, and it turns out that not many are happy now they know. It's great to know that those who voted "Leave" knew what they were voting for.

This is precisely why calling for a second referendum makes absolute sense. We have been lied to, and a lot of the people who have voted leave in the first place are beginning to realise their mistakes. Johnson wanted more power and money, after he was backed by major corporations who will get a big pay rise if Britain leaves the EU. Farage being the racist FUCK he is, wanted all the immigrants out. If we vote again, the turnout will be significantly different, as we will finally know the facts this time around.

Now think about this: both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin supported us leaving the EU. What does that tell you?

It tells me one thing:
A divided Europe is a weak Europe.
A weak Europe is an exploitable Europe.
And exploitable Europe is a warring Europe.

Divide the people and conquer the assets.
Divide and conquer politics, my friend.
Divide and conquer.

The European Union must not be destroyed, at least, without an immediate replacement on hand. Otherwise, we'll have political-economic sparks of unrestful conflict that could ignite another World War.
