Brexit, aka, the UK Becomes a Clown Car of the Highest Order

I looked up Welsh independence the other day, and the BBC found this fellow proclaiming he’d like to be Independent.

BBC News

Is Wales becoming an indy-curious nation?

Are people now more interested in Welsh independence and is resistance to it starting to crumble?

Well now.

The only problem with going independent, the narrator opines, is that no one will be able to travel to Wales and not get lost, when the language only has combinations of ww yy dd and ll for their letters.

Apparently that’s been changing after many of the Welsh realized the EU did more for them than they realized and they stand to lose a lot.

This is how much money Wales gets from the EU and how it is spent

There are concerns about what the UK's withdrawal from the EU will mean for the funding Wales receives - though there have long been questions about what this money has achieved

That Steve Barclay quite up there seems like the perfect summation of Brexit (and conservative politics in general) in a single tweet.

A bunch of idiots pandering to a bunch of racists.

JoshL · 2019-08-30T17:03:27.507Z

Honestly, I was kind of just joking; I don’t know much/anything about internal UK politics.

It just reminds me of Once and Future King, with the Welsh revolts and whatnot.

It also reminds me of Ned & Stacy. So now you know where all of my knowledge of Wales comes from.

Gavin and Stacey, you mean?

I can well imagine the welsh voted leave just to spite England.

JoshL · 2019-08-30T17:23:14.898Z

Gah, yes. It’s been a while.

Not realizing that was what England wanted (outside of London)…

In other news Brexit MP’s are morons (this dude literally just figured this out). The responses are golden.

Steve Barclay MP (SteveBarclay)

The car industry’s ‘just in time’ supply chains rely on fluid cross-Channel trade routes. >1,100 trucks filled with car parts cross seamlessly from EU into UK each day. We need to start talks now on how we make sure this flow continues if we leave without a deal. /4

Gents, have just heard there are protests planned in London 15th of October.

I’ll be in England around that time.

I am fundamentally against popular action of this sort, thinking it’s basically intellectual masturbation with a Starbucks stop.

But I will be there.

RichVR · 2019-08-31T00:23:58.706Z

Enjoy your masturbation and your latte! :)

BloodyBattleBrain · 2019-08-31T00:38:24.615Z

I’ll be avoiding Starbucks.

Terribad café, and I say that as an ex barista.

We will, of course, expect live updates.

Starting to look a bit United States fascity over there with the immigration stuff:

Mum who has lived in UK for 55 years is denied settled status after Brexit

Anna Amato, who has been in the UK since she was two, asks: ‘Where do I go?'

geggis · 2019-08-31T08:14:46.479Z

This is all so fucked up.

It’s clear none of this was ever about sovereignty, ‘taking back control’ and ‘unelected bureaucrats’ because if it was there wouldn’t be swathes of leavers happy that a PM elected by around 160,000 twats is suspending parliament to crash us out–an outcome that nobody explicitly voted for.

The Brexiters are scum at every single level, from social liberalism to equality to the green movement. Racist, bigoted, homophobic scum. I bet the chart for Trump supporters/KKK/Neonazis is identical.
