Honestly... it is horrifying when it is true... So consider yourself lucky whiners that this time it isn't.

Though to be honest it isn't like Britain is a paragon of togetherness and understanding. Then again who is?

Swexit, Dexit, Fexit, Nexit, Grexit, Ixit bop it wen

Isle of Mexit?
Ellan Vannin isn't in the EU.
Doubt it'd secede from the Crown, either. But it's hard to make predictions, especially about the future.

Canada is already talking about seceding the crown after Queen Elizabeth dies because we detest her successor. Basically... Canada already finds the need for royalty to be kind of pointless... But Queen Elizabeth is so charming that we will MORE then put up with her! Heck we like her.

But Prince Charles or Prince Willium? Those charisma vacuums?

Dear goodness guys... Don't push White people under the bus.

Way to push that "Anti-racism" platform :P
In this context, "white people" =/= "people with light skin and European heritage." (Hint: look at the avatars of these twatterers.)



On another note, here's some dank brexit music for your enjoyment.

Well, this referendum sure delivered in comparison to the Scotland one.

Now here's hoping this just leads to people in the EU thinking really hard about what they've done and trying to do better in the future after the following crisis resolves itself, rather than the euphoric exit apocalypse that's getting predicted (although you could hope for something like the League of Nations -> UN upgrade in that case, since the need for it will still be there).

Would be neat if Scotland secedes, though. Referendums upon referendums. Vote until all parties are satisfied! As long as the Irish don't start killing each other again it might even be fine.

"Immigration gets ignored" is a talking point that always seems to be used but it's entirely untrue. It was a major issue in the last election and Cameron renegotiated it with the EU.

If anything it gets a lot more discussion time relative to its importance than you'd expect.
To be fair, for some "drive all the Poles out and reclaim our jobs" seems to be the only resort, even the fact is the Poles undercutted Brits in low-skill jobs and still content with their standard of living (and no they actually bring whole families to UK!).

But Brexit won't solve the problem, as it will drive numerous low paid services jobs out of UK instead.

To be fair I don't understand what the Lexit crowd is aiming for. Fighting Cameron and Farage/Johnson in a row is basically an impossible task.

South Asians were always there. They aren't even affected by EU directives, but a colonial legacy.

Speaking of such, will Britain open its doors for some 3-5m mutilated citizenships in the far east, for a quick economic boost?

It looks like it. Germany should start their strategy for the Fourth Reich.

Is... there a context that would make "White people" seem less like a racial slur?

wait... Does Britain have ghosts that are full citizens? (wait... that would be even worse in that context... The undead have rights too)

I am just going to assume by "White" they mean Caucasian. Unless "White" in Britain means English.

Like everything else, it means whatever is most favorable for my point.

I can say white devils all day and you know what I mean, but if you call me on it well I was using it in a more figurative sense.

Well, I popped in after seeing a bit of talk about it apparently going a very unexpected direction, and as I was reading Stross talking about this earlier in the week, he posted a montage of tabloid headlines with a bit of context which made me think of something after reading the last little back and forth about "it's totally racism" and "it's totally not racism" and "it's racist that you think it's racist" and blahblahblah a bunch of stuff which wouldn't make much sense over here in the states.

So, I've got a cross-atlantic crossword puzzle, what's a 7-letter word for "those brown people" which you don't say in certain company (or only say in different company), and has the letters "i", "g", and "r" in it?

If you're in the US, it probably starts with "n", if you're in the UK, it probably starts with "m", apparently?

White means white. Caucasian refers to the goddamn Caucasus Mountains, not white Europeans.

Social media is laden with newly minted supporters of Scottish independence. I don't know if that will be the case for the majority though. I think we are a very divided country and it's just a question now how much the bulk of Unionists put their love of the UK first. The pragmatists, some of whom have changed opinions already, could go either way.
