If there’s one thing I learned due to Trump, it’s that people with terrible haircuts associate with each other.

Perhaps it’s because I am American but I reacted to that like this.

plenty of people claim they’d be happy to compromise on a deal-based brexit...

Well fundamentally brexit is about myopic tribalist rural english people in particular seeing themselves as apart from Europe (because their little chalky island physically sits roughly speaking nine meters off the coast of France) and for some reason thinking that means they should also stand apart, like it was…

So 75% of Britons couldn’t even be bothered to get their arses to the polls to vote on a decision that will shape the country for generations?

Funny how thi sall kicked off when the Tories where whining about having to take foreign refugees.

That might be true for the people who set up Brexit, but the people who *voted* for it were primarily driven by racism/xenophobia. Dave from Mansfield wasn’t voting to reduce workers rights, he wanted to get rid of all the “bloody foreigners”

Ok that’s what it is about but they can’t get the votes that way. So they played the racism card just like is done in the US, just like Nazi Germany, just like anywhere with ethnic cleansing, where they say it is the other group who is causing the issue and so vote for this to stop them from hurting you. 

for some of the pro-brexit camp defaulting on outstanding international obligations would fall under the heading of a feature-not-a-bug scenario...

It was “economic anxiety”, wasn’t it? They sure seem to have solved that one!

Fine with me as long as Scotland gets to secede and take Britain’s place in the EU.

I voted to remain but at this point I am resigned to the UK’s ridiculously stupid and xenophobic and corrupt Leave campaign getting its wish. Well done dickheads! But the upside is those dickheads are handing Scotland another chance to quit the U.K. (Scotland having previously been told staying with England was the…

Well, supporters are so rabidly anti-immigration that they are willing to burn their whole economy down to keep out the dark-skinned. Your definition of “racist” may vary, of course.

The root of Brexit is racism, pure and simple. It’s mildly reassuring to see that at least one country can’t practice its racism totally unimpeded, unlike another one on the other side of the ocean.

“It wasn’t like a, ‘you must,’” Short insisted. “It wasn’t like, ‘you have to.’”

Foot long hotdogs would work as well.

I hope Varadkar and Barrett eat nothing but bananas for lunch.  Just banana after banana, with an occasional sloppy sip of milk.

“It wasn’t like a, ‘you must,’” Short insisted. “It wasn’t like, ‘you have to.’”

Increased labor costs, as in fairer wages. Heightened regulations, as in worker rights.
