Brexit Thread

[Kagemusha]

Apparently UK will not allow the referendum to take place before the Brexit is concluded. Such might play to the hand of the Scottish separatists.

I made the point a while ago that posting a video on its own should be seen as spam.

Who is this and what debate was this? I assume it was something related to Junker's proposals

It seems he cannot tell the difference between the EU and Europe, and if the subtitles are correct he cannot tell the difference between the British and the English, either.

Also - his cleaving to "Europe" appears to be motivated primarily by fear of the "Other" and a siege mentality.

Common mistake, Europe is a continent, the EU a unnecesary undemocratic atrocity. The EU is only important for the EU. They are at least consistant, it's true that if there isn't more EU there isn't as much EU after all. Can't argue with that.

It's funny to see how hysterical eurolords are. The UK will be fine and that's going to discredit their use even more. Most hilarious is Juncker (who???? well Juncker, THE. Seriously who is that, ah ok that guy who is always drunk now I know thx)

Just for hilarity's sake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPgiI46FCDU

Well, in that case I'm glad that you're not a moderator.

Who that is can be found out by reading the youtube video description. I did not include it because it is not important for the message.
The Brexit itself came about due to a siege mentality, fear of the "other" and millions of British people being unable to tell the difference between a serious argument and a lie on a bus... And not to forget British people being unable to tell the difference between a troll vote and a serious vote with consequences, aka telling democracy apart from Eurovision. So what goes around comes around I guess.

What comes around goes around came, it's called the Brexit. The English have little to worry about really, the EU all the more. Analysts (or rather trendwatchers) already predicted something like this 20 years ago, they put the year when the EU would economically (southern-europe) and geo-politically (the Ukraine) overstretch earlier but they weren't all that wrong, the UK would be first to leave, after that the Netherlands or the Visegrad-zone. The Netherlands is unlikely right now sadly, but the visegrad-zone isn't exactly very happy with Brussel's commands

Since the English have little to worry about really, are you planning to come over here to live any time soon? This is, after all, the utopia you advocated.

Americans just love your accent and get all "ooooh-aaaah" about it. They automatically credit you folks with 25 IQ points more than you have if you speak with that "Eton" twang.

That's just islander mentality. You can go to a tiny island in the north of Germany and they will probably tell you how they "do things differently around here" and how they're "a special kind of people". Or go talk to submariners of any nation. Of course none would tell you that "we cry a lot because we're lonely" or "we are afraid of our own weakness so we prefer to be alone". It's perfectly normal to try and turn your quirks and faults into strengths because you're afraid to get eaten otherwise in this darwinistic world. The ratio of special islanders is just higher in Britain because they haven't had regular friendly contact with continentals for as long as the Netherlands.

The so-called "increase in nationalism" is just a panicking of the vanishing. It is likely not to increase any further, but to implode as it dies out and gets replaced.

[Fragony]

Maybe the islanders aren't all that stupid and your rather obvious dédain for them is, just saying.

THE offence to be given by eurocrats, 'populism!'. I'd advice them to look up what populism really means, and consider what they are themselves, no not populists, anything but, eurocrats are the exact opposite they should wear toga's really
