The defendant saying that they did it doesn’t mean that they did. That could be helping the real guilty party get off.

Definitely not. There are the obvious issues with miscarriages of justice but also I think that an eye for an eye justice is archaic.

Might be worth letting the uni know. Surely they’ll want to fix the site!

People often think of this as a Tory problem, but it makes Labour jizz their pants just as much.

Should do the same with the congestion charge too.

Well it’s good that EU coal consumption is falling too

Problem with that is FPTP. The UK like the USA is pretty much a two part system. Both of the main parties stuck with the will of the people narrative.

2017 they voted Theresa May to do Brexit

Only just, and against Jeremy fucking Corbyn.

People voted Boris Johnson in 2019 to “get Brexit done”.

At that point I think people just wanted it over with. Even remainers as the political paralysis was in and if itself starting to cause problems.

Probably. But they weren’t actively being lied to.

Exactly. Thank you.

It’s no wonder Leave were so aggressive with shouting down calls for a second referendum after they won It’s no wonder also that they made such a thing out of the will of the people. They knew full well that their margin was razor thin.

They knew as well that this razor thin margin was heavily weighted towards older people and that as each month passed (even if people couldn’t already see that Brexit was a shit show) that the majority was getting eaten away as younger people turned 18 and older people passed away.

No. 48.11% of us knew that. 51.89% were sold a lie.

Well, actually, probably a few of that 51% knew that. But a lot of thought (because much of the leave campaign literally said so) that we could leave and have some kind of EEA agreement.

I can only help with the last part as I use audible. Have you tried Voice? https://droidify.eu.org/app/?id=de.ph1b.audiobook&repo_address=https://f-droid.org/repo

I don’t know how you got that from what I said.

A lot of what has happened in Brexit was what remain said would happen but were told during the campaign that what they were saying was “project fear”

Dulce et Decorum Est

By Wilfred Owen

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/dulce-et-decorum-est

Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.```

Leave won by a margin of 3.78%. There was also very little talk of leaving the single market. In fact much of the talk that there was of that came from the Remain campaign and was shouted down as project fear.

Doesn’t matter that they don’t have it in the bank. Banks will trip over themselves to lend them cash.

It’s was sold to a Chinese company a few years ago.

Another Brexit Benefit

Fuck Nigel Frog face Farrage, The Haunted Victorian Pencil Jacob Rees-Mogg, Lord David Pig Fucker Cameron, Maybot, Boris I don’t care where I stick my Johnson, and all the rest of the Tories who either actively supported this or were to self interested to not rebel as their leaders doubled down on their Brexit folly again and again.

Excuses excuses.

Well I feel stupid

Um speaking as a Brit, has she seen the state of our politics since Brexit?
