    Also: British voters are on track to elect Nigel Farage as PM of a fascist government. It makes no sense.

      Got a few years to right that ship. I’m hoping we figure with out, hell I’m hoping Labour manage to figure out social media exists and use it to fight some fire with fire

    Every single time I read something like this, I’m so glad to be out of this shithole. When Brexit happened, I moved to the EU and never looked back. Glad to have done it.

    Edit: typo.

    Yes please. Even though none of my family voted for Brexit, barely sufficiently enough people in the UK did to tip a majority. I call those people arseholes. Many arseholes know that they dropped a bollock. Some however still think Brexit worked, but that some tiny boats with migrants landing on UK shores are sufficient to offset the millions per week that Boris promised the NHS. Little boats also killed the oven ready deals that Brexiteering types had ready and waiting to go. Fair to say, I hate Brexiteers with a passion.

      the thing that gets me with all these anti-immigrant types is…they also refuse to spend the $ to improve/stabilize these peoples countries so less feel the need to immigrate. to the point where they would rather soend even more $ trying to punish/keep em out than it would take to stabilize.

      not sure why we call these stupid fucks “conservatives”…they’re not conserving anything, it’s just regression and self-punishment

    It’s just like if you open a door for your cat and it sits down in the sweet spot between “in” and “out”.

    Would like to see UK in Schengen though…

    Italians really hate EU, for a few reason but especially because the exchange between Italian Lira and Euro fucked up things, they say

      As Italian, I can say the most of us like to hate EU for the Lira/Euro exchange because it is easier to blame someone else than admitting that most of us tried to fuck up their connationals.

      That’s just leftover British national exceptionalism pushed in schools. Like how English is a special language and not just a bog standard Germanic one.
