Let the debate begin !!
The way the EU have behaved since Brexit proves that they hate the UK anyway. But hey, all people that voted leave are rascist bigots according to the media. My own country makes me sick. Apologist snowflakes abound.
There are plenty of members of this community (naming no names here) who have stated this view in their posts here, too. You could say it's media manipulation of opinion but it is also a deep seated belief of many on the Remain supporting side in the UK and elsewhere around the world. It's far from accurate, but that doesn't stop the lie from snowballing before the truth can get its boots on.
It seems to me that the general public at large simply love gross simplification. Perhaps the great lie is the only way they can understand complex events and situations that persistently defy ordinary categorisation or pigeon-holing? The bigger the lie, the easier it is for those impressionable enough to swallow it. In fact it's long been the cornerstone of all good and effective propaganda, from Hitler and Goebbels onwards.
Exactly. And if the enemy of my enemy is my friend, then I'm starting to wish the Brits could have a re-think of this matter. I was under the impression that the Brexit vote was a close one, and that once it had passed a surprising percentage of those who had voted for it expressed some ...."buyers' remorse".... over their choice. Certainly much of the US is feeling some extreme remorse over the way our own 2016 vote went, and the odds that "Russian meddling" had a hand in the way both elections went are...well, let's just say "open for discussion" and leave it at that. But still: the US electorate will have another go at this issue next year. Is there any possibility of our UK cousins having a re-examination of the Brexit matter as well?
By the way, my suggestion for a nugget of Fleming to build Bond 26 around comes from Goldfinger by way of Brexit and Trump: "Once is happenstance, Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action..."
Whipped this up real quick. :D
Yes, you are thinking of how the populist pro leave politicians simplified an incredibly complex issue into a mundane discussion about immigration policy and old school nostalgia for semi imperialistic nationalism? Don´t try to change the obvious narrative here: If anyone were guilty of simplistic views on this matter, it was the pro leave brigade!
Brexit: Never Say Never Again and Again and Again and Again and Again and....
Lol! Brilliant!!!
Simply put the EU has become an all too powerful behemoth that wants all it's member countries to tow the line with whatever moronic law it wants to pass. British people don't like being pushed around and if our spineless so called goverment had the balls to stand up to them no referendum would have been demanded.
Pretty simple really. The EU started as a trading bloc and has gradually become a fascist dictatorship. Have you heard of article 13? Fascism at its finest that will affect us all.
I do hope that an extension is given and that Britain moves forward in whichever way the majority of its citizens truly want at this point. How that is discerned, I cannot see yet.
The EU does not hate the UK, however they do not feel any need to give the Uk the special treatment they feel entitled to somehow. You cannot go for a divorce and want everything to be the same afterwards with all the benefits.
As for the whole proces I find blaming the EU for the Shakespearian Shitshow the UK parliament has delivered these last two years is a bit silly. The political parties in the Uk have shown not to be overly preoccupied with the good for the UK but have been more busy with their own interests.
I feel that the separation of the UK from Europe has not really been the interest of the UK parliament but their own interest were certainly.
As for any fascist bits the UKIP and their close allies have shown more af that behaviour as anybody in Europe. Unless you mean the Hungarian government, those former East-bloc countries still feel charmed by the strongman politicians. .
Yes, there is now an extension until Halloween: 31 October 2019.
Seconded. It is very ironic when people claim the EU are making unrealistic demands when it is in fact the opposite which is the case. It is double ironic when a supporter of UKIP or its agenda accuses anyone else of fascism.
However, hypocricy is very common these days, dear I say in particular on the political right...
A bit more than that really. The right has a habit of charging others with their own sins. Did I speak the name that dare not be spoken here? No I did not.......
It'll be interesting to see what happens to the smaller sites who can't afford the costly upload filters.....
And if someone thinks the directive is in violation of basic rights, there is always the possibility of suing.
Either way, blabbering about Fascism in this context is not only complete bullsh!t, but also trivialises cases of truly Fascist tendencies among the populist Right, including the countries where they have managed to be in charge. Say Hungary, say Poland.
I have visited Krakow in Poland by the way. Beautiful city. Felt very safe there too.
