The U.K. of course fin, you're one of us. Don't let them snake oil salesman tell you any different. Plus exi told me not to upset you today as you owe him several roll ups and that requires a long run up to get them back.
Were you a Remain campaigner? Are you sore about the referendum result? Check out these 10 top self-comforting strategies. 1.) Call every white person who voted Leave a "racist", ignoring the fact that Europeans are also white. Make sure you ignore and marginalise ethnic minority leave voters. 2.) Claim that the (huge) turnout wasn't high enough. 72%? It should have been at least 75%! 80%? It should have been 85%! Make sure to keep moving the goalposts. 3.) Make a stupid e-petition demanding another referendum, just like the socialists did when Labour lost last year. We need to keep having referendums until we get the "right" result. 4.) Get over-excited about the economy, even if the impact has been pretty boring and mundane. Pretend that your 2:2 in English Literature makes you an expert on currency markets. 5.) Attack the very idea of Democracy, because it's only a good thing when it goes the way you want it to. Working class voters don't know what's good for them, but middle class liberals definitely do. 6.) Share memes bashing Brexit, ignoring the unwelcome and uncomfortable realisation that you are in the minority of public opinion. 7.) Boldly claim that Scotland will leave the UK, forgetting that A) they can't afford to B) the EU can't afford to take them C) 1.6m remain votes don't cancel out 2m NO votes. 8.) Make fun of Boris Johnson while sweating slightly and really hoping he doesn't become Prime Minister. 9.) Learn absolutely nothing from the campaign, blaming the result on everyone but yourself. Scaremongering and bullying are clearly the best tactics to use, there's no way they could possibly backfire. 10.) Curl up in a ball and cry yourself to sleep while listening to "Ode to Joy".
i supose you could do all that. or, you could fact check this. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1146720412610584579.html
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....-der-leyen-european-commission-president/amp/ I think the Eu referendum may have started a trend now, if you don’t get the result you want complain.
No Deal? Thirty odd Tory MPs are saying "No Thanks!" "A number of papers, including the Telegraph and the Sun, report that the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, is leading a campaign by a group of 30 Conservative MPs to block a no-deal Brexit. The Telegraph says they've met three times in the past month to discuss plans including agreeing a date in October when MPs could force through legislation..."
Uh ... that trend as been around since Maastricht. And you don't just complain - you re-run the vote or ignore it.
If you follow europan politics as well as the U.K.'s, her selection was an odd one. In Germany, she is in the top 3 of least popular politicians, very odd. What is funny is, the eu commission are all hugs and smiles and photo opportunities as though that is it, job done. They know however the commissions choices now go to the eu parliament where all meps have to majority vote yes or no on the commissions choices.
The only thing that you, as an ordinary citizen, can depend upon the Conservative Party for is, whichever side of the fence they sit on ... it ain't your side.
this is the move towards the commission taking control of members states budgets that remainers said was never going to happen SURPRISE
I was listening to a litany of German Armed Forces cock-ups that occurred under her watch. I believe my my favourite was sending German forces on a NATO Arctic exercise with broomsticks instead of rifles.
I think it’s more ‘obvious’ though now. The Eu referendum and what has happened (or not) has highlighted it to more people. I don’t really follow Eu politics much. I do remember when there was some sort of ‘crisis’ they all got together at a posh hotel to discuss it. The only thing that came out of that was a nice photo of them all on the steps of the hotel.
I think the words you were looking for was an undemocratic, unelected by the people, eu commission and top table fin. The good thing is, there are enough populist parties standing up and now holding the eu commission to account, Without those populists, it would have been more of the same o, same o Glad I could help
Uh ... that trend as been around since Maastricht. And you don't just complain - you re-run the vote or ignore it. I think it’s more ‘obvious’ though now. The Eu referendum and what has happened (or not) has highlighted it to more people.. . what has been highlighted Allan, is the corrupt nature of UK politics and its supporting Media. While people aren't happy with the result, its the methods used thats causing the backlash. england has finally woken up. for brexiteers, some know it and dont care because they got the result they wanted. Some know it and think they can change the UK system by being out of the EU. for want of a more diplomatic way of saying it, these are in my mind, the most delusional of all. and some think it was a fair run thing. oblivious to whats just taken place. mostly yer grannies and granpaws who think it cant happen here, know their place and just think rule brittania.
