Besides, the chav denomination is, being younger, much more likely to support the EU :P
Uni students support the EU most, chavs don't go to Uni
You see the problem here? Also they don't vote, so RK's stereotype of summing up the broadest political movement in my country as a chav and a 'curmudgeon' is exactly the sort of ignorance of foreigners I expect of stereotypical americans

absolutely haram

*EDIT
Awww, Nick Clegg looks so happy now that he's not a politician
Also interesting is I wonder if Boris will stop being so happy now. Thing about Boris is that he was once universally loved, and loads of people disagreed with him but still liked him. Not after Brexit though, first time ever loads of people actually hate him, which is gonna be a new for him. rip in pes

Happy to disappoint. Consider it a drive-by trolling exchange program with Ameripol thread.  :P

There are the socialists and nationalists who think the EU is fundamentally shit and the nation state is the best and not worth wrecking, so they are opposed to the EU and in favour of leaving
There are the socialists who think the EU is shit but not fundamentally so, and so would much rather take it over, being opposed to both the EU and leaving the EU
There are nationalists who think the EU is shit but like it because their countries are poor and they benefit from open migration with Western Europe, being opposed to the EU and leaving the EU


And you're forgetting the pro-EU nationalists, who see the EU as making it easier to escape from some other overlord (NVA, SNP, the Catalans...).

I avoided them because ones like SNP are nationalist and socialist, and it would be too much b8 to bring up pro-EU nationalist socialists

Honestly what I am waiting for in terms of "Proving that Brexit was about self-definition and not anti-foreigner"

Is SOMETHING that differs pre to post brexit.

So... What laws have drastically changed?

And no this isn't a trap... I am open to the fact that it wasn't a huge bigotry push, that was just a product of... well... the advertisement in the same way that *redacted* was advertised as ultimately anti-foreigner but wasn't voted for, for those reasons.

There is a difference between those two.

Are you for real? The process hasn't even begun yet. The vote isn't even binding, it was just... I forget the proper English term, so I'm going to directly translate ours - just an advisory vote. The actual exit from the EU won't happen until years from now.

Neonivek I'm pretty certain you're just laying out bait

It's nice and all that you're open to facts, but it's probably more important that you find them than doing what you're doing now - you've already got very strong opinions on everything about the UK's situation when you don't know what's going on. Less current year man, more facts

Starters Brexit was about leaving the European Union
Seconds we're not living post-Brexit, Brexit hasn't even happened yet

It is hard when the writing on the wall made it easy to see it one way. The UK has some serious issues with anti-foreigner attitudes and has been a rather... shall we say... divided country before Brexit. It wasn't hard to see it as a boiling over of previous issues that existed since what? the 80s? Not to mention the heads of the Leave party don't exactly have the... best reputation... (DAMN IT NIGEL!)

but no I am not laying bait... Also years?

*Reads internet*

Ohh... it could be... delayed indefinitely and never actually happen... and they are ALREADY setting up delays intentionally.

So by the time Brexit actually happens... the entire reason for Brexit will be over... UUUGH! (well... COULD be over)

Well, two and a half years if May is true to her word. Still, stuff like the mandate that company list their foreign workers don't bode well.

I seriously don't see that going very far given where the money comes from.

If the USA hasn't eliminated "They took me jerb!" I doubt the UK will have better luck.

Though once again I wish I could get away from this symbolism... Since goodness does this fit into place a bit too well.

Neonivek I have no idea what writing on the wall you're referring to. I don't know what you see, what information you receive, you never say anything and you seem to agree with every opinion piece that shits on the UK as if it were fact :P
Hell, I distinctly remember you taking satire pieces seriously :|

The UK has some serious issues with anti-foreigner attitudes and has been a rather... shall we say... divided country before Brexit.
All according to you, one who does not live in the UK, nor know what's going on in the UK

It wasn't hard to see it as a boiling over of previous issues that existed since what? the 80s? Not to mention the heads of the Leave party don't exactly have the... best reputation... (DAMN IT NIGEL!)
>Leave party
Enough vague platitudes mate, get some meat in your broth. What previous issues? What did you see? What is the Leave party? What reputation do you refer to? How has Nigel incurred your wrath?

but no I am not laying bait... Also years?
So much bait

*Reads internet*
Completely unsourced bait, you're getting this on tumblr as far as I know

Ohh... it could be... delayed indefinitely and never actually happen... and they are ALREADY setting up delays intentionally.
So by the time Brexit actually happens... the entire reason for Brexit will be over... UUUGH! (well... COULD be over)
Keep reading, you're still far far behind current news. Heck if you lurked this thread you would've got it
EDIT: Literally seconds after I post that last paragraph, May punks me and sets a deadline for declaring Article 50. What a bitch.
D-DAY 180
HYPE
Endless bait falling from the sky

I don't know why I thought Brexit was the vote, not the actual leaving.
Cos you know as much as Jon Snow

I seriously don't see that going very far given where the money comes from.
Where does the money come from? You need to flesh out you assertions so they are more than just opinion

If the USA hasn't eliminated "They took me jerb!" I doubt the UK will have better luck.
BELOW SHITPOSTING

Though once again I wish I could get away from this symbolism... Since goodness does this fit into place a bit too well.
Holy shit we've gone so vague we've entered cryptic bullshit

If you say so. Though I have no idea what person from the UK would deny my allegations except out of misplaced Nationalism blind of all rationality.

Then again there are people who said racism was over because Obama became president...

So I guess the UK fixed racism because... I dunno... Dr. Who or Northern Ireland.

Quote

Businesses.

Honestly Loud Whispers

It sounds like your more against everything that I have to say more out of a need to ignore any problems the UK might have.

Then out of an honest disagreement.

Even to the point of objecting to me, just for speaking.
