Brexit

Quote from: JimmyTheCrab on December 13, 2019, 08:06:42 AM

So the PM is Supreme Leader for 5 years.

When is the last time a PM lasted for 5 years?

The last time they had a massive house majority. 

In fact Cameron lasted 6 years without a party majority for 5 of those - then threw it all away with the referendum.

There is nothing that can realistically dethrone Johnson until the next general election in 2024.  Despite what recent events might make you think, it's pretty unusual for British PMs not to serve a full term.

Goodbye NHS.
Goodbye Economy.
Goodbye Jobs.
Hello American made everything at a premium price.

Don't worry, most of our stuff comes from China!

Don't worry, most of our stuff comes from China!

Which we will happily resell at a premium markup. 

So, we're all going to die again?

Some might sooner than their time if they wish to adopt the crappy American health care model.

As for the Brexit thing itself, I'm waiting with the popcorn for all the whingers who now complain they cant freely live or even holiday inside the euro. Honestly why would anyone want to give that up? Nearly half the world was their oyster

I can see Scotland wanting to break away from the UK too. Cant blame them given none of them wanted to leave. Going to grab another bag of popcorn for that! 

I know, change is scary.

I know, change is scary.

Sometimes, it's also stupid and unnecessary. If something aint broke, dont try to fix it.

Well I guess they will find out. The rest of us can sit back and enjoy the shitshow

I know, change is scary.

Like suddenly not being about to get life saving insulin because it costs too much money.

And mandatory organ sharing.

Yes, a bunch of people are literally going to die when they can't afford healthcare any more. Yes, that's a thing that happens. Yes, politics have consequences.

Sounds like you understand the NFS pretty well.   

From my very limited outsider's perspective, Brexit seems very American to me.

Y'all don't like being a part of the EU, paying taxes to them, yadda. So y'all want to leave. And y'all are fortunate enough to be able to leave democratically and peacefully. We had to fight for our independence and pretty much invent Western democracy on the fly, y'all. (Y'all Count: Four.)

Anyways, I'll excuse my very ignorant American ass out of the conversation. Good luck with your big Cabbage Patch Kid PM, or whatever he is.
