The Brexit Thread

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Why? Why did they think this?

[ad hoc]

Because they'd had enough listening to experts

[Nefertiti2]

and they were persistently lied to by the media for decades.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Well, yes. But as an addendum to that they were too fucking lazy to do their own research into exactly what it would mean for their IMPORT business, and vote accordingly.

Zero sympathy.

[Snake Plissken]

Not going to defend him too far but remember that we were going to stay in the Single Market and it would be the easiest trade deal in history as well as the 40 we already had @in the bag”.

[Guy Profumo]

Well, yes. But as an addendum to that they were too fucking lazy to do their own research into exactly what it would mean for their IMPORT business, and vote accordingly.

Zero sympathy.

Quite.

[TonTon]

He has claimed personal credit for the election result in still marginal Fermanagh & South Tyrone: his elderly aunt died just before the last GE, so the entire UUP-supporting extended family sat it out as a mark of respect.

He killed his aunt to swing the election? That's hardcore.

[San Bernardhinault]

Not going to defend him too far but remember that we were going to stay in the Single Market and it would be the easiest trade deal in history as well as the 40 we already had @in the bag”.

This is slightly fair. Before the referendum we were often given Norway and Switzerland as examples of how countries could thrive outside the EU. Some of us could easily see that this would not have fixed the problems that most Brexiters had with foreign scum telling us how to live and coming here and taking our jobs and we can't even speak English on the High Street any more. But quite a lot of disingenuous arsehole Brexit propagandists may have used them as examples, and people less engaged might not have noticed.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Well, yes. But as an addendum to that they were too fucking lazy to do their own research into exactly what it would mean for their IMPORT business, and vote accordingly.

Zero sympathy.

I hope his business goes bust because of delays in importing equipment. I hope his family don't starve but that they enjoy eating seasonal veg. I hope that when the shit hits the fan he tells all his friends that he fucked up.

[Eggchaser]

He won't, he'll blame the EU for not giving us a good deal by negotiating in bad faith.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Not going to defend him too far but remember that we were going to stay in the Single Market and it would be the easiest trade deal in history as well as the 40 we already had @in the bag”.

Anyone believing that lot shouldn't be running a bath, never mind a company.

[Tony C]

Well, yes. But as an addendum to that they were too fucking lazy to do their own research into exactly what it would mean for their IMPORT business, and vote accordingly.

Zero sympathy.

This exactly.

[Snake Plissken]

His MP is also a leading Brexiteer.

[Uncle Ethan]

I hope his business goes bust because of delays in importing equipment. I hope his family don't starve but that they enjoy eating seasonal veg. I hope that when the shit hits the fan he tells all his friends that he fucked up.

There will be nobody to pick the seasonal veg.

[pebblethefish]

He killed his aunt to swing the election? That's hardcore.

I've got a couple of aunts I could do without. If everyone chips in with a couple, 2024 should be in the bag

[Diable Rouge]

But with "a handbag", of course.

[Eggchaser]

But with "a handbag", of course.

A handbaaaaaaag?

[Diable Rouge]

Jim Ratcliffe demonstrates his commitment to Brexit by moving to Monaco.

[Toby Gymshorts]

"Petrochemicals magnate" is a really weird way to spell "arsehole".

[S. aureus]

I don't know, seems to be fairly standard to me.

[Eggchaser]

Jim Ratcliffe demonstrates his commitment to Brexit by moving to Monaco.

He already packed his Land Rover Defender nostalgia wankfest factory off to France.

[Diable Rouge]

The diplomatic equivalent of "Your call is very important to us":

Precisely what it deserves.

Can they not be struck off or something?
