Oh, I don't deny that. But it would be nice for people to maybe acknowledge that not all the objections posed prior to the referendum were "project fear".
The French and Germans have also realised that they are likely to be better off, politically, without our constant obstruction and irritation, which is sad tbh. However, it's not even started to get going yet, there's more to come. I hope people are ready for the shitstorm.
I've been saying from the start that I expected some short-term pain, but ultimately, I believe the long term benefits would be worth it. A once in a 200 year opportunity to take a long hard look at Britain and plan for the future.
Sadly, I didn't count on two things happening:
1. The Tories would be so fething incompetent
2. The absence of any grand plan, and I'm talking about a new industrial revolution here. Nobody is even close. The main parties are miles away. Taking back the trains is fine, I agree with it, but it's hardly setting the world on fire.
To be fair...given the kind of rhetoric surrounding the campaign, the government's position before the referrendum, the total lack of any sort of "leave" victory plan before the referrendum (particularly when coupled with the high level of interconnectivity between the UK and the EU in almost every sense but especially the single market), the razor thin "Leave" margin, and the government's subsequent push to invoke article 50 seemingly as fast as it possibly could after the referrendum, it is difficult to see where Brexit was ever going to be a once-in-a-200 year opportunity for any hard looks or future planning, given that such was clearly absent from the entire endeavor from the genesis of the campaign.
From an outsiders perspective, from start to now, it's basically come off as a Leroy Jenkins special affair

In other news the Labour party is being sucked up in its own fakenews on twitter. Currently they stand at about 25,000 new members not 150,000 people in 3 days to a total of 800,000 as had been touted. Just thought Id let you all know.

Dunno about that man... we have our own chaos here in the states.
But, hey... Pueto Ricoans just voted overwhelmingly to join as the 51st state.
Maybe ya'll need to vote as well to be the 52nd state! (or, how would that hypothetically work? A vote for each countries (England, Scotland, Wales, NI, etc...???)
Could it get any worst?

I just found out (from watching police interceptors) that the cost of fighting the illegal drugs trade is 10 billion. How much of that is cannabis? It's pointless trying to fight it. Legalise it and tax it. And I say that as somebody who's ever touched the stuff.
See like I was saying earlier, the money is there. You just have to go look for it.

That's not much of a story, seems a little desperate, grasping at straws to smear Labour with?
I also noticed a Facebook campaign earlier, being shared amongst my more militant Tory friends about the electoral commission reminding students that they can register to vote in their home town, and university constituency. It also reminded them that it is an offence to vote twice in a general election and can lead to a £5000 fine, but that's not stopped the frothing and righteous indignation.

A few I noticed were quite forthright in their opinions about the youth not voting in the EU referendum, and how they "should have made the effort to vote".
My shadenfreude meter is a smoking mess.

It's a pity, really. Trump desperately needs some foreign visits to distract attention from the slowly rolling clown car garbage truck wreck his presidency has become.
It would be great for him to come to the UK and be "faced" with a solid row of buttocks all along the Mall.

Ya'll might wanna rethink that a bit...
If you want to be put in the frontline for negotiations post-Brexit... you might want to fellatio the man's ego a bit... until after such agreement is signed of course.
But... hey... if Lord Buckethead can run for elections, I can certainly see that the "moonings" are possible.

Trump isn't the "supportive" type, at least not for free.

Whenever you find yourself on the same side of the argument as big banks and multi-nationals, you need to step back and ask what the feth is going on.
The banks and the multi-nationals love the EU. That in itself is reason enough for me to run a mile from it.
The alternative being Aaron Banks who has a vested interest in insurance (including medical) and would gain to benefit a great deal from a collapsing NHS that no longer has the staff to support it.
There are questionable supporters on both sides. Really it has been governments overall that have failed to control them, not the EU in particular. The UK government has basically transferred the banking debt onto the UK populace and let the banks walk away with minimal cost. That's not an EU problem.
You do at least get a strong economy, freedom of movement, protection of social and environmental protections that if the Tories have their way will disappear in some ultra right wing nonsense. I think I'd take this and the banks, than lose it all and end up owing my body's organ to the likes of Mr Banks...

Except it's not just students. There's been a move from all those under 45 towards Labour.
It is a bit bizarre how such people are opposed to the young population actually taking more interest. After all it is their future more than the 55+ year olds. Maybe they've worked out that if it stays this way governments will start favouring the younger generation and the benefits that older generation have had for so long will become more evenly balanced.

Yeah, I was a bit miffed at that myself. Given they Oscar Lopez Rivera was just released and he's like the Puerto Ricoan Nelson Mandela. If anything I would've thought they'd be going for full on de-colonization.
Sorry off topic I know.
On another slightly off topic note: @Whirlwind- Wowza! Could you bring some of that over to the Northern Ireland assembly. You just de-escalated that conflict like a pro.
And thanks to my fellow Norn Ironers for being good lads and letting it lie. Sure it's all good craic.

Well Tha makes one sense but not sure how far this goes.
They use US currency, and are a what, almost protectorate of US.
Going to full state rights would give them greater sway over those things they use, and rely upon.
However also means your now part of US. Laws and such. Your no longer enjoying perks minus the abaility to have a slight gap...

I think one of the greatest ironies of the last year is the rush of so called liberals and progressives to embrace the European Union, given the Left's historic opposition to the European project.
In response to your point, is Corbyn a racist and a bigot? He's been sticking two fingers up to the EU for decades. I'd bet my pension pot and my house that Corbyn vote to Leave on June 23rd.

Not everyone who voted Leave is a racist/bigot, just like not everyone who voted Remain is a billionaire banker. that's why it's not a great argument.
We were once so close to heaven, St. Peter came out and gave us medals; declaring us "The nicest of the damned".

I'm sure he did. As you say, he's been openly opposed to the EU for as long as I've been alive. And the recent comments from his shadow chancellor make me think his position hasn't been softened just because he now leads the Labour party.
But that's all beside my point, which was that such arguments are reductive and and quite dishonest. Someone's support for the EU is no more undermined by the fact that big corp is on their side than your support for leaving the EU is because the racist old fart I used to work with is on yours.

How is that an irony? Liberals usually aren't very left-wing, only compared to right-wing conservatives.
For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.
Thats an idiotic headline generating policy. So gunowners now have State blessing to use their firearms for self defence? So fething what? Does this policy amount to Conceal and Carry? If Gun-owners are still not allowed to carry their guns on their person as they go about their daily life then it won't do any good because they'll never have their guns at hand when they need them.
What use are their guns in self defence, if the're locked away at home (because they'd be arrested for carrying them in public) and they get caught up in a terror attack at a concert or market or crossing a bridge on their way to work or on the London Underground? What good is a gun, if it gets confiscated by security at a Concert and the Police come to arrest YOU as a terror suspect?
