Sturgeon Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 4chan is responsible for second referendum petition, more lulz generated than ever before in the past two years: http://heatst.com/uk/exclusive-brexit-2nd-referendum-petition-a-4-chan-prank-bbc-report-it-as-real/ Scolopax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxn Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 A pretty interesting analysis of recent events (even if I don't fully agree with it) based on the thesis that neoliberalism is essentially a project of two slightly-different (opposed) flavours of elite thought, each resting on a foundation of entities which aren't otherwise much invested in the project, slowly coming to grips with the fact that their support has woken up and realised it hates them. http://crookedtimber.org/2016/06/26/tribalism-trumps-neoliberalism/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronezhilet Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 The question of a second referendum was raised by Mr Farage in an interview with the Mirror in which he said: "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the Remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Very persuasive speech from a Brexiter: Belesarius, Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect and Toxn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Holy crap. That was a good freaking speech. Edit: I don't have a super strong position either way on this, but I'd say I lean stay. The UK had a pretty sweetheart version of the standard EU deal, and will not get as strong of a deal for themselves if they end up rejoining down the road. But I do think that the UK can swing it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperComrade Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'm skeptical of the UK's ability to go it alone. They've thrown a lot their chips into finance with London at the financial center of the EU. They will lose that with Brexit. They also don't really manufacture or produce that much, and 58% of that goes to the EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxn Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Every time I see stupid fucking memes like this my principled dislike of the english diminishes just a little bit more. A few more and I'll be begging them to blow up the channel tunnel and start shelling the french coast just to let the continent know that the shackles are off and its back to historical business as usual.
