We’re not bolting the door, but you’ll have to sober up, fix your dress and pay the admission fee for non-members.
Only now that we’ve all sobered up, and the party isn’t fun anymore
Can anyone with first hand experience explain some negative effects of Brexit? In the US we don’t get any news about it
Universities couldn’t work on research projects together anymore. We’ve lost a decade of team building and partnerships which will take many years to rebuild even though we’ve recently negotiated to rejoin the research group.
I don’t have 1st hand experience but I’ve seen in the news that UK businesses have been hit economically because imports and exports between the UK and the EU have more taxes and regulations. I’ve also seen news stories of British retirees in Spain shocked and appalled that they now need visas and may or may not qualify.
They isolated their economy from a large economy just a short boat ride away. Killed any ability of British grads to get jobs in Europe, and cut british industry working in Europe. Brexit was about Boomers and jingoism letting a mostly retired population dictate that they ignore industry and anyone under 40.
I.e. exact same problem as the US driven by the exact same cunts.
Aw it’s okay Brits, we’ve been dealing with your stag parties for decades, it’s kinda part of the deal.
We’re only talking about it because we’re very likely to get a new Labour leader and prime minister soon, so the candidates are either trying to/being forced to say something about it because our media has a fucking pathology for boosting talking points such as Brexit that might allow them to put Farage on the screen too.
Great Britain is certainly welcome to come back to Europe, but this time they can abolish their pound for euro, do they want this?
I thought leaving the EU was a terrible idea at the time AND have wanted to rejoin ever since we left. Now with that said I would have to seriously think about voting to rejoin if we had to leave the Pound behind.
I’d probably agree to every other thing the EU throws at us, but I have a strange attachment to the Pound.However I also don’t think the EU should take us back at all after what we did. We don’t deserve them.
What should happen is that every time it’s suggested to an EU politician they should just laugh hysterically then say “Nigel Farage” and “Boris Johnson” then shake their heads and walk off.
If Britain wants to rejoin they should drop the £ and convert entirely to €
No should about it, they have to. This is a requirement for new members.
Yeah we had a sweet deal before and we pissed it away. I don’t see why we should get the same terms if we rejoin. That’s just the cost of being stupid IMO
New members have to “commit to joining” the euro, but there is no actual deadline. Many member states just say they will and never do.
…and full Schengen integration and freedom of movement.
Also change their units to fully metric, start driving on the right side of the road, and start begging to come back;)
Even better: we should force them to convert to Swedish kroner, just to spite them and see how the Swedes react
What did the Swedes do to you to deserve this?
Those little L shaped hex keys.
I have a full set now, from different random furniture buys over the years, that I cut off the short side with an angle grinder, so I can throw them into a drill.
As a Dane, it’s my sworn duty to mess with our beloved neighbors at every opportunity 😁
This time you have gone too far.
No such thing when it comes to messing with Swedes 😁
Kamelåså
😁😘
Go for the maximum chaos option. Britain should start issuing their own Swedish kroner. The Bank of England is just flat out counterfeiting billions in Swedish currency.
The Swedes defend themselves by switching to the Danish krona.
At which point we’ll defend ourselves by switching to the Euro and maybe even finally show some backbone by boycotting the apartheid-supporting and - sponsored* song contest Sweden keeps winning
*main sponsor Moroccanoil is not a Moroccan oil company, it’s an Israeli cosmetics company
Kroner capitalism? 🤔
This is the kind of chaos we need in the world.
I really wonder if they’ll make the € a requirement for the UK re-entering.
Already is. All new members must commit to joining the euro.
Afaik it’s pretty loose on when they have to. UK should be forced to immediately.
I don’t think that there’s any scenario that involves us rejoining the EU and keeping the £.
We lost that special position and we’re not getting it back because the EU have found that they can manage without us.
The wild part is in sweeping elections Britian just chose the party behind Brexit (Reform). Which is basically the GOP of Britian. Brexit actually caused a massive influx of immigrants and this party ran on getting rid of immigrants. Can’t make it up, they’re making the same exact mistake America just made 2 years prior.
Britain? The place where you go to jail because you don’t like genocide?
Brexit was so bad, Farage had to change the name of his moronic fucking party.
Metric system, euro and driving on the other side of the road. Do those things so we know you are serious and we will happily accept you back in the fold.
All that, and for 1 year their Eurovision entry will get 8 points from Belgium. Then back to all zeroes forever.
The side of the road thing is just the right amount of petty lmao.
As an outsider, that tweet explains exactly what Brexit has looked like from my perspective.
The funniest thing is that Brexit was promised to reduce immigration and have a positive effect on the economy.
It didn’t.
Immigration increased, wages decreased, inflation increased, and things have been worse for the UK in general.
The average UK voter is so dense that they put their vote behind the guy that caused this mess again.
I worked with a horrid person who voted Brexit for a few dumb reasons but the most worrying one was because he was racist. Openly said he didn’t want the “blackies” here. If I still worked with him I would be laughing in his face right now. Because of the shortage in certain areas like carers and health, we now have more Africans families in our town than ever before. Totally the opposite of what he wanted.
The interactions with these people whom he hates, is far more positive than my experiences with him. People like him can fuck right off.
There’s this consistent line through modern history: right wing ideas are bad. It keeps happening. Right wing politicians have power, they do stuff, and it goes badly for most people. And then, somehow, few people learns, not enough decide “hurting the outgroup isn’t worth my own suffering”, and they get elected again.
Right wing ideas are genius. For the people currently at the top of the hierarchy.
Cuz it’s a pyramid scheme scam at the heart of it
No, no, it’s a reverse funnel, see…?
Measure their level of desperatron to join by asking as a part of the deal to adopt the euro and ditch the pound. Don’t open the door until they accept it to guarantee that there’s not gonna be another brexit.
I think Hugo Rifkind nailed it back in 2018 with his shit cheese submarine.
