Gemmill 63312 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 https://iandunt.substack.com/p/brexit-five-years-on-a-triumph-of?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1833442&post_id=156160904&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=172gw&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email Dunt, brilliant as ever. I've sent it to my mam, telling her she should read it as stuff like this needs to be heard, as this is the undeniable reality we now live in. I was round there the other day and she's among the final minority that still think it was a good idea, and she insists it's been a success. Bearing in mind, I've spent the last week opening savings accounts for her and getting her money transferred across, cos the whole process confuses her.... So she can't open a savings account, but she is in absolutely no doubt that she understands enough about trade and economics to unequivocally state that Brexit has been a success. Ridiculous, really, and underlines why we should never have been handed the decision. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8367 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I like a lot of it but I'm not sure where he's getting this idea that the culture war has ended in the UK. Things have settled because Labour are in power and not actively pushing such things, but they're still responding/reacting to the themes. Think we need to still be vigilant on that. Everything else, I totally agree with him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Relatively speaking though. I mean look at Badenoch. She started off trying to major on culture war shit and has had to dial it down massively. Partly cos as opposition leader, she may as well have been screaming it into her pillow, but also cos she's been ridiculed in interview for some of it. If she was PM, we'd all still be having to lap that shit up. I don't think Musk getting involved has helped the right too much. Generally speaking, the British don't like rich foreign cunts getting all up in our business. See Brexit, Elon, you cunt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 PMQs is a good example. She started off turning up with 6 mad as fuck, completely unrelated questions. A lot of It culture war shit. And Starmer completely ripped the piss, and 400+ people in the chamber were openly laughing at her. That shit used to get the "hear hear" treatment, or some nutty backbencher would put forward a mad proposition and Sunak would thank them for raising this important issue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His millions might, but his personal interventions haven't. Although it does seem to be fueling a lot of drama on the other side of the pond with the UK now being used as a warning to Americans of the dangers of not following the dictates of Musk's first term as President. But still though, I think the public could break against Labour and back into all of this shit again if they're not really, really careful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't rank by "most disliked" though which might reveal some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk said he wanted to change the name of the English Channel this week to the "George Washington" channel. He was probably joking, maybe not, I don't know, but either way, coming out with shit like that is not going to make the gammons happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 27805 Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 This'll cheer @Rayvin up. After all the fuss over the budget yesterday, a billion here, a billion there, apparently Brexit isn't costing us 4% of GDP after all. More like 6 to 8%, and 90 billion a year loss to the exchequer. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/brexit-is-costing-the-uk-a-staggering-ps250-million-a-day-in-lost-tax-revenue_uk_692594cee4b063285310a4b7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8367 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 So not only are we being taxed more to pay for it, we likely could have invested an extra 50bn a year into something else or reducing the deficit or some such notion. Great work all around by team Brexit. I genuinely believe the people who brought us this are traitors, and I'd be ok with them being shot as punishment.

At this stage even I am wondering why Labour don't use this as a pivot to closer ties. I mean most people, by some margin, are happy for this. For the remainder just present it as "Closer ties or lose the triple lock?" or 'Closer ties or pay more tax"? And surely with Trump in the US the folly is even more exposed? Just have to hope there are things going on behind the scenes here. It's not a unilateral decision after all, we've burned a lot of bridges. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume because they're utterly terrified at Reform getting in and fear this will only strengthen that risk. I find it incredulous that there are people who still see Brexit as a positive thing. It's been an unmitigated disaster on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 2 to 1 regretting Brexit now and only heading one direction. There is so much shit to hit Farage with. NHS, Russia, racism, and Brexit. Got to fucking ho for the jugular head on now.

Renton 27805 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Question. Do media outlets, especially the BBC, actually want a Reform government? Would seem like turkeys voting for Xmas to me, but it's the impression I get. But why? The government needs to launch a full enquiry into Russian influence on our politics following the conviction of Nathan Gill. This alone would sink Farage. Yet it's barely mentioned. Why?

It's not about the truth it's about the clicks and Farage gets the views from the haters and the gammons Same as Trump, absolute box office for the media.
