Brexit

[Jwar]

I saw that Trump is Cunt thing on Facebook and laughed so fucking hard! God I love the Scots! Hahahaha! My father in law is Scottish, and a lot of his family still lives over there in Glasgow. I visited about a decade ago and things were amazing. It's the one country I WOULD move to if I had the ability. So gorgeous, such great people and food. Everyone was nice. Well except that one old fuck I argued with while I was drunk about being Catholic. LOL!

Did Ireland separate as well? I remember reading about Ireland's history and how they tried to separate from the British in the early 1900's-late 1920's I believe. In fact, isn't there a U2 song based on something to that regard? Sunday, Bloody Sunday? Maybe I'm wrong about that?

Apparently there's this petition you can sign, for you UK ilfers. I've been following this recently with detached interest. Also, wow, politicians in the UK resign when they get something wrong? So civil. Here they get dragged away to prison still clutching their elected position.

Better yet, he was met by a Mexican Mariachi band called Juan Direction



Northern Ireland is still a part of the UK, but the Republic of Ireland/southern part is independent, yeah. Brexit has led to certain Irish politicians debating whether Northern Ireland should push for independence now too, which would be great for Ireland as a whole. Also, fuck Wales for voting to leave. I can't imagine a country with such a unique identity of its own feeling any kind of quintessential British pride during this whole thing. Weirdos. Also, see when someone in America says "British accent" meaning "posh London accent" and not any of the many, many other "British accents", what the fuck is that? Still pissed off.

That was actually an advertising stunt by gambling company who likely profited from brexit. And that is not a Mexican mariachi band. As much as my people do love fake mustache stereotypes, they are lacking both Mexicans and mariachi instruments.

But screw that Trump guy, so yay for anything that pisses him off. He tweeted about loving Mexicans while eating a taco bowl, which is like the farthest thing from real Mexican food you can find.

As a bonus, here's an actual mariachi band that showed up for more than just an advertising stunt.

Ah well, still pretty funny.

[resincum]

do you think it'll actually happen? like mother fuckers didn't even know what they were voting for and it's going to take years to work anything out.. I'm trying to be optimistic, this is blowing my mind.

every one wants open borders when it comes to money, but not with people eh.. let's see how much they like it when their economy hits the gutter

[popvulture]

Well yeah, if the post Brexit Google search phenomenon tells us anything, it's that we should definitely be very worried about that possibility over here. God knows we've got more than a few people with soft boiled eggs for brains who probably look at Trump and think "yay, vote for the TV man!" with zero consideration of any implications.

Well I was devastated when I woke up on Friday morning and didn't know what to do with my self... then by about 10AM I realised my girlfriend is German, i've just sold my flat recently so have nothing tying me down and that I can just leave to live with her in Germany, get married and hold dual citizenship. Plus I fucking love Germany so umm yeah, buh bye England, it was fun while it lasted but you've been sucking more and more for years.

Feel sorry for those that didn't choose this (and those that did for the wrong reasons and regret it now or will later) and are now helpless to the situation.

I said from the start this was the wrong time to hold a referendum, emotions are heated and people are scared, not a great time to be making sensible decisions. Perhaps in 10 years once we knew the real direction the EU and world economy/political landscape was headed and things had settled down it would have made sense but this was just reactionary.

I do understand the plight of the people that voted leave and why immigration and bureaucracy seems like the boogeyman but in reality it was an issue of global downturn, bad government (especially with funding for housing and health care) and media misinformation.

The split in the country is the scariest thing. London and big cities and Scotland were all solid remain. Countryside was solid leave. The City Of London (big financial district) was totally knocked on its ass, but they're all twats anyway.
Right now, a separate London - like old-school Berlin - is very tempting. There's a big rally about it...
Northern Ireland was mainly remain, but re-unification with Republic Of Ireland... That's a tricky thing, probably involving a lot of home-made bombs. Meanwhile families are separated across a previously invisible border.
It feels like everything is fucked up now.

For me it's a little bit like waking up to find that Baskin-Robbins only has one flavor instead of 27.

Sorry, just trying to add a bit of levity.
