UK Politics The Brexit thread (or All -not- quiet on the western front)

BoJo:

They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird.

Good old bit of racism with British accent there.
 
Rural areas =/= peasantry. Anyone who left the 19th century knows that.


Way to go missing the point, though if we really want to get technical alot of them are poor farmers and the rentier class, which is what peasantry became after the introduction of wage slavery.
 
Lol, you are so cute trying to project a completely outdated Marxist vision of society in the 21st century. As cute as Mélenchon, I guess.
Would you vote for him over Le Pen? That's my point, the middle is completely discredited in France, and the center right has bowed like it always does.

And what exactly, aside your imagination of course, have you made this assumption ?

Who knows, perhaps you also want to save game and elect French equivalent of Zhirinovsky just to see what happens? :D

Very unlikely.

To be fair, I've seen Zhirinovsky speak (scream) and none of the Western populists come even close to him. Or the irony in the naming of his party :) That guy is soooo unique....

Actual special propaganda specialist :)
 
Lol, you really are a fan of Peter Zeihan.
Are you sure he is ? I mean, what is the word for people brainwashed by a guru in a sect ? I'm pretty sue it's not fan ?
 
Been a while since everything has been reported as falling apart, so let's get back on course!

  • Officials in Dublin and Brussels have ruled out UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's request to strip out parts of the Brexit deal negotiated by his predecessor Theresa May.
  • Johnson wrote to European Council President Donald Tusk on Monday asking Brussels remove the Irish backstop from the withdrawal agreement, something it has repeatedly refused to consider.
  • Tusk responded Tuesday by accusing Johnson of seeking to reestablish a border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
  • "The withdrawal agreement is not open for renegotiation and the backstop is not open for change," a European Union source told The Guardian.
  • Ireland's governing party, Fine Gael, also rejected Johnson's demands to remove the backstop, which is designed to avoid the emergence of border checks on the island of Ireland.
  • A Downing Street spokesperson said: "Unless the Withdrawal Agreement is reopened and the backstop abolished there is no prospect of a deal."
  • The exchange keeps the UK firmly on course for a no-deal Brexit in October
Even more efficient than the last PM! BoJo does not need to even hold official talks before getting shot down!

Why falling apart? Everything is clicking into place for BoJo's dream of hard Brexit and glorious future for the UK (though whether it will remain UK is to be seen)...

The reports are of falling apart though. Whether or not the actual plan is succeeding is a secondary matter in this case.
