brexit 

theguardian.com/politics/2019/ again we see the sheer craven grab for power at all costs even in the face of a hard aka catastrophic brexit. Politics and power corrupt absolutely.

brexit 

In 10 days the UK will, like hapless lemmings throw themselves off the cliffs of Dover, but there will be no ferries to take them to France without a permit, and all trade agreements will be null and void. A fuckup as epic as Chamberlain’s Appeasement.

If you’re in the UK then consider stockpiling a couple of months worth of your essential medication and basic foodstuffs as there is literally no coordinated plan from govt on what happens next they are making it up day by day.

brexit 

Airlines have no idea what’s going to happen, nor do ships and even vehicles on the Eire/UK border, and this lack of clarity applies to Germany Holland France Spain etc - all coastal borders need to deal with this indecision. Does a truck of Irish Butter need a full inspection at Calais or is it ok to roll straight through with its secret stash of illegal UK steaks?

@slackz
How would you suggest brexit be done such that there wouldn't be a hard border?

@dch

brexit 

@freemo @dch I wouldnt. I think Brexit is a foolish nightmare turned reality fueled by xenophobia and nationalism.

I do not support Britain's exit from the EU at all. We've got more than our fair share of political horrors to deal with on the other side of the pond, so I def haven't followed this closely and have no valuable analysis to offer on the subject

brexit 

@slackz @dch @freemo Brexit was only superficially about nationalism. Mainly it was about the deep and unresolved class divisions specifically within England. Very little actually to do with the EU. Mostly it was about wanting to fuck over the Westminster politicians who had been fucking over the working class for decades. It was an act of defiance against the arrogance of Cameron assuming that everyone would follow government instructions and vote to remain.

@bob
I'm nto sure I agree on that. Of the hundreds of people I've spoken to who voted one way or another not a single person voiced any opinion that would reflect your suggested motivation.
