Also, even if this vote is not binding, if it triggers a Scottish and/or Northern Irish succession, then the makeup of parliament will be drastically altered.

Lowered currency is great if you're an exporter. And hey, as the next prime minister of Britain says, England exports cake! Everyone loves british cake. Let them eat cake.

(also love that use of the word "stuff," really shows he knows words, and has the best words)

The reality of the situation though is that England imports more than it exports, and so a weaker pound sterling is actually terrible for it economically.

But hey, economics is apparently not complex or so I was told in the last thread, so what do I know?

Not to mention the fact that Japan has had to close off trade with Britain because the Yen is too strong and hurting their economy, and trading with a partner whose currency sucks that bad is only going to make it stronger. So Britain's been cut off by one of the most important electronics and innovation countries in the world because of this bullshit.

Why do people think this is the end of the world?

When Ireland split off from UK through acts of violence and insurgency, they maintained their economic relationship with UK, which is still their largest trading partner. Economies aren't based on feels or principles, they're based on things like resources, proximity, etc. Same goes for the amount of business UK will be doing with EU after Brexit, the macroeconomic ties will not change and people will still be largely free to move between them.

Unless you think the EU will start a war over this, in which case it just proves it was the right move to leave them anyway.

If Scotland wants to secede, let them. The only thing lost is the ability to dictate law to the average Scotsman, which I don't think the queen really cares to do that anymore.

Economics. With the 'value' of the Pound falling, the Yen jumped up and thus means Japan trading with Britain creates a trade deficit for Japan.

We already covered this, it isn't happening due to brexit. Pound has been declining slowly for almost a year. Scroll back in the thread, or ctrl+f pound, or go to any currency exchange and see for yourself.

As for Japan being butthurt over having a trade deficit with UK... why was it ok when the deficit was the other way? Fuck Japan.

Positives outweigh the negatives, we're already seeing the tourism industry booming.
http://shanghaiist.com/2016/06/25/brexit_chinese_tourists_heading_for_uk.php

Also in their Brexit II report, Open Europe is saying at WORST the UK might lose 0.5-1.5% GDP with former trading partners in the long run. I'm sure even narrow markets like Chile will be able to make up the difference, not to mention BRICS just waiting for the chance to put their foot in the door.

Because you were the importer, not the exporter. See, people generally don't want to sell things to a buyer if it means they'll lose money on their product rather than make money. Crazy, I know!

A trade deficit is a difference in trade between two countries. If UK sells Japan two cars, but Japan sells UK only one car, then Japan has a trade deficit with the UK. It has nothing to do with anything but raw movement of materials and cash. Ferrari is pretty highly priced but I'd be surprised if it contributed much to a trade surplus for Italy.

That's not what's going on.

The EU commission is chosen this way:
1. Government of a country picks a comissioner.
2. Suggests it to the EU.
3. EU turns them down if they want to.
4. Government picks another, and another, and another, until they have one the EU likes.
5. New commissioner is made.
And the commissioner has all the power, MEPs are useless.

Is this democratic?

According to really fucked up definitions of representation. You can argue a king represents the people till you're blue in the face, it's not fucking democracy.

I love that he's trying to argue that it's a monarchical setup when in fact the Commission appointment system is really just that which right wingers fear the most: compromise. Nothing horrifies them more than having to share space with others and accommodate their will, and the system of national governments picking the candidate and the EU confirming the choice is precisely that.

How bout we talk about something other than butthurt euros.

Russia is harassing U.S. diplomats all over Europe

At a recent meeting of U.S. ambassadors from Russia and Europe in Washington, U.S. ambassadors to several European countries complained that Russian intelligence officials were constantly perpetrating acts of harassment against their diplomatic staff that ranged from the weird to the downright scary. Some of the intimidation has been routine: following diplomats or their family members, showing up at their social events uninvited or paying reporters to write negative stories about them.

But many of the recent acts of intimidation by Russian security services have crossed the line into apparent criminality. In a series of secret memos sent back to Washington, described to me by several current and former U.S. officials who have written or read them, diplomats reported that Russian intruders had broken into their homes late at night, only to rearrange the furniture or turn on all the lights and televisions, and then leave. One diplomat reported that an intruder had defecated on his living room carpet.

“Since the return of Putin, Russia has been engaged in an increasingly aggressive gray war across Europe. Now it’s in retaliation for Western sanctions because of Ukraine. The widely reported harassment is another front in the gray war,” said Norm Eisen, U.S. ambassador the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014. “They are hitting American diplomats literally where they live.”

They're publishing blatant lies to the public to trick them into thinking Brexit is bad, everything the BBC prints on the issue is worthless now.

>Farage's whole 350 million for the NHS lie
1. He didn't say it. It's not his fucking lie, this came from the Leave campaign in general, not Farage. Do you think he spent his entire time in an ad studio telling people what to put together?
2. The advertisement was pure hyperbole "we might as well do [x]" type stuff. It wasn't a re-funding plan, it was an argument for leaving because UK will have extra money. The first clue is that they don't mention dozens of other government programs which are failing due to a lack of funding, which would also need to be funded in addition to the NHS.

Even in the fictional setting in which Farage has no control over the Leave campaign's messaging, this would still make the Leave campaign a creature of pure deception?

Ah yes, a mistaken report (or rather, not even that, merely a report that the bank denied, which doesn't actually mean anything except they denied planning it), clearly a sign of a vast government conspiracy. A conspiracy that just so happens to validate everything about your backwards worldview. Clearly we should trust you, insane right wing image board user, and not accredited new organizations, in the future.

Yes it was pure hyperbole, anyone with actual knowledge on the issue would know that, for example, the UK doesn't actually pay 350 million and that much of what it does pay just goes right back into the UK anyway. But the average voter doesn't know that, a thing that the Leave campaign takes advantage of because it is predicated entirely upon lies and ignorance.

As for why Brexit won... it's simple.

Elitist corporate interests are a minority.

Their only hope has ever been to control enough media and educational systems to trick enough people into being useful idiots, thereby hijacking democracy.

The reason the elitists failed in their master plan regarding Brexit is because they relied on millenials to be their useful idiots that sway the vote.

Millenials are lazy useless pieces of shit that stayed home to bitch on twitter instead of going out to vote.

Ergo the elitists miscalculated.

Well I say "can't grasp" but like everything you say it's not that you can't grasp it, you just don't want to admit it because that would undermine your varied barbaric agendas.

As for Farage, he's one dude, and he's small fry compared to the remain side. He's worth 3 million and part of a party with 12% reach in his country.

Remain side was supported by the Labor party with 30% of the vote and the Conservative party with 37% of the vote. Oh also random powerful people like Obama leader of the only superpower in the world backed up by the entire media of that superpower, and with 12 million in the bank.

Why the need to spread fiction about a vote you won? It's not like lying on this image board is going to stop an overturn, 2nd referendum, or whatever else might occur.

I am also going to second the confusion on why you're trying to rewrite the Syrian war timeline, especially given the genesis of that particular argument was a tentative compromise announcement. A step towards middle eastern stability benefits the right and left, so why start shit over that?

Probably because from a legal perspective it's a civil violation (if it was an actual crime, immigration proceedings would have to have a considerable amount more due process) and getting so worked up over it is like getting worked up over a jaywalker, or calling a jaywalker an "illegal walker."

It's a civil violation for which the punishment is deportation, so why is everyone butthurt when people suggest deporting illegal immigrants?

Also illegally crossing the FIRST time is a civil violation resulting in deportation. Illegally crossing a SECOND time is a felony with jail time attached.

tl;dr your analogy is shit on many levels

If we want to be more realistic, every single illegal immigrant is also guilty of dozens of other crimes associated with illegal immigration. From crossing the border without proper documentation to DECADES OF TAX EVASION, which last I checked is a federal crime with up to three years in prison.

Because the process for legal immigration is incredibly restrictive and was designed to be for explicitly xenophobic reasons, because many of the "criminals" you wish to deport are children who've been here their whole lives, because you're sending them back to worse living conditions for a mixture of bureaucratic and racist reasons

Probably because of the whole "it costs a lot of money to deport illegal immigrants" thing (estimated at $400 to $600 billion). It's cheaper, when the person in question isn't an actual security threat, to just use deferred action, and let them stay in the country. Furthermore, the federal government is incentivized not to go after such individuals because studies have shown they form the shadow income for Social Security and income taxes, putting money into the system when paid (not counting the minor percentage that are payed only in cash off the books) and not being able to draw it out the money when it is time to file for rebates or they hit the age of retirement.

So much wrong with this post...

First of all you're starting from a faulty premise, the immigration system in America is not restrictive. For example Canada, a country that depends on migrant labor to exist, has a minimum of five years before you can move there and another three years on "probation" within the country before you can become a citizen. The only aid you get during the probation period is $300-500 a month... which is not a grant, it is a LOAN you have to pay back once you become a citizen.

America, a country that doesn't depend on migrant labor for anything, a country with the third largest population in the world after India and China, has immigration laws that are not that much slower than Canada. American immigration system is probably in the top ten least restrictive in the world, because you can live in America before becoming an official citizen, because America automatically counts people born in it as citizens, and people married to citizens are essentially assured citizenship.

So the rest of your post, which is based on "american immigration is restrictive" premise is completely nonsensical. It's kind of hilarious that you call the most multicultural country with some of the most lax immigration laws in the world xenophobic though. America practically invented multiculturalism and immigration as state policy.

>>407878
If you think it's a waste of money talk to the Obama administration, they're the ones deporting more illegal immigrants than any previous administration in history. I'm personally of the opinion that the solution to expensive deportations is not ignoring the problem, the solution is stopping the problem before it comes to deportation. In other words properly manning the border.

By the way my solution to immigrants already in America is not deportation. I'd like the American government to give them work visas, so they can be taxed and so they can get proper access to healthcare and education services. You know... make them legal?

No, I called the immigration system xenophobic, because it is, it was strengthened to its current state in the early 20th century in response to Chinese immigration. I also called you xenophobic, since despite your lies you have repeatedly shown yourself to be so. Obviously this isn't the case with the whole of America since a significant portion of the population wants to let people in, but there is also a significant portion of the population, yourself included, that wants to throw even people born here (especially, but not just, Muslims) out entirely.

Ignoring the fact that you're lying here, they tried to enable that, but your right wing friends in the Supreme Court hamstrung them, a thing which we can all go back and see you cheering about in the previous thread.

The only reason Obama's administration is seen as deporting "more" than any other previous administration is because the raw numbers are so much higher.

There's nothing more that can be done for Mexicos economy. They have a free trade deal with America and have a lassais faire market.

Mexicos economy isn't a problem, their government is the problem. The government isn't interested in providing law and order outside of Mexico City, which kind of makes living hard for people there. This is why Mexicans are rushing into Mexico City as fast as they're rushing into America, the appeal of raising their kids in simple law and order.

Start enforcing laws outside of Mexico City and people will stop emigrating into the city and into America, also investors will start coming and the country will be as rich as Canada.

They're actually in the process of it currently, since 2006.

As for why it didn't happen before... probably because the leadership was fairly comfortable in Mexico City, and because the cartel enjoy popular support among people outside Mexico City. This has a lot to do with the fact that government is secular and the population is strongly Christian (cristero war etc), and the fact that Cartel do bring a lot of money to those areas. As bad as life is there, the immigrants we're seeing are the disaffected minority, the majority (or at least close to the majority) is perfectly fine living under warlords.
... a big part of the problem is that we're sucking up the disaffected minority, so there's no one left who wants to rebel or change anything.

President Vicente Fox was the first to try fighting the Cartel, but being an absolute moron he barely half-assed the attempt and failed.
Felipe Calderon was the second president in recent times to try doing something about the problem, he was far more organized and essentially invaded his own country to get control of it. His first move was sending the Mexican army into a province bordering Mexico City... and promptly got his ass handed to him. Right outside the capital. Much of his troubles had to do with a demoralized and poorly trained military and police force. Bit after that things went better, Calderon actually had the biggest successes during his career severely destabilizing the Cartel.
However his war didn't last and he was supplanted by Pena. Enriqe Pena Nieto is a coward who speaks in empty platitudes, he has no actual plan to end cartel violence, and has thrown all the accomplishments of Calderon into the trash. The only concrete pattern to his presidency is paying off the Cartel not to kill anyone... which is a great strategy, just ask Rome!

If Mexico gets a president like Calderon again, maybe we could help him with fighting cartel instead of spending billions in military aid in the middle east, such as paying to buy Iraq and Afghanistan entire armies, thousands of tanks and even jets.

Were you looking for an honest answer to your question? Or were you just acting like a petulant child again.

This came from a bystander not the cop. The cops words were "he's going for the taser", as in grabbing the taser he was being tased with.

Manslaughter is illegal and getting the two officers charged is important, with two caveats:
A) Charging =/= conviction, and there's nothing you can do to change that. The justice system doesn't run on popular opinion so protests are pointless. Which brings me to...
B) I'm seeing a lot of crap that doesn't do anything but make the situation worse. Don't call for the mayor and police chief to be fired, they couldn't possibly have shit to do with this. Don't set fire to your own neighborhood or loot stores. Don't start a twitter hashtag to feel good about yourself, because that does nothing.

The media is ignoring it because of a few factors.

First, the court threw it out for numerous logical errors, lying about the address, phone, and financial situation of the plaintiff.
>“Johnson” had previously filed forms asking to be let off the hook for the costs of the lawsuit, claiming she had only $300 to her name ... such an allowance — known as in forma paupers — is only given in civil rights cases in California, and the judge ruled that she “failed to state a claim for relief” on a civil rights basis, even though she “utilized the form provided by the Central District of California for civil actions.”
>“Even construing the ... pleading liberally, Plaintiff has not alleged any race-based or class-based animus against her, and consequently, her ... allegations fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted,” the judge wrote ... the address listed on the paperwork leads to an abandoned property, and the phone number goes straight to voicemail.
Second, it was re-filed in a different state while trying to hide the identity and the fact that it was the same plaintiff.
Third, she filed the first time without counsel, and the second time got some intellectual property lawyer who she met over a gossip forum.
Fourth, the story in the deposition is incredulous, with no supporting evidence whatsoever.
And fifth, she's demanding a $100 mil instead of a criminal conviction. This has become a classic money making scheme ever since Michael Jackson got ripped off.

So with the exception of a few blogs most are steering clear, the right wing press is pretty much calling this a cash grab and the left wing press won't touch it because they get their hands constantly burned on that stove.

On that topic, why the heck are you posting huffington post? It's the liberal equivalent of drudge report, Ariana Huffington has been mad as hell ever since Trump implied she turned her husband gay.

If you think the justice system doesn't work in some way, sit down, identify the problem, and offer a possible solution to your congressman in a letter.
1 letter can be put in the queue. 5 letters are a weekly problem. 10 letters a daily emergency. 50 letters a crisis that must be responded to within the hour. 100 letters and your congressman is picking fights on the senate floor.

This is what congress is for you stupid idiot.

Hashtagging does nothing. Blocking roads, screaming, bescumbering a police vehicle or burning a trash can does nothing.

Because your congressman is not going to be paying attention to hashtags or tantrums in the street.

Send them a rotten letter and tell your friends to do the same.

You're too rock dumb to figure out something that syphilis addled and dysentery riddled colonists knew was obvious.

Regarding the claim police shootings are disproportionate towards blacks:
238 whites, 123 blacks - Proving blacks aren't shot more often. Ratio is 1.93:1, similar to crime ratio 1.98:1
2014 saw 4822363 white and 2427683 black crimes
There's practically zero discrimination, in fact about 0.5:1 discrimination of white people.

Regarding the claim police shootings are common and/or a sign of failed justice system:
0.002 shootings out of 26.4 million police stops - Proves police shootings aren't a common occurrence.
6% unarmed out of 509 - Proves wrongful police shootings aren't common.

What we see here is that in 2015, 53,000 shootings occurred--that may be more than one person being shot in a single incident, and it may be that no one was actually hit by an incident. It's just a gun going off. Half of those resulted in injury. 13,500 deaths occurred by shooting--that's not necessarily "13,500 incidents resulted in death" just 13,500 people died from gun violence.

2,000--about 3%--of these incidents were the cops shooting or killing a suspect. 319--about 0.06%--were incidents where a police officer was shot or killed. Incidentally, more than twice as many children were killed by guns in 2015 than police officers were killed by guns, and more than eight times as many teenagers were shot to death as police officers in the same time period. There were about as many cop shootings as there were mass shootings in 2015, actually. About once per day, a police officer was shot, and about once per day, a mass shooting occurred.

The number of accidental shootings was about equal to the number of incidents where the police shot someone. The number of "defensive uses" was less--about 1,300, or 2.5% of shootings.

So what can we see from this? Well, for one thing, we would reduce the number of gun deaths by about the same amount if we disarmed cops as if we eliminated all accidental discharges. We would triple that number if we included defensive uses as well. This would all add up to about a 9% total reduction in gun violence.

>>407969's numbers can't really be correct since it implies that white and black people shot by the police account for only about 20% of the people shot by police in a given year. Which would mean that American hispanics and asians must be undergoing ethnic cleansing pretty much, given that all other races in the United States combined add up to about 12% of the population, and are accounting for 80% of police shootings. Even if his numbers were right, black Americans make up about 12.6% of the population and, by his numbers, 30% of police shootings, which is still outrageous. Even if you buy the idea that black people are committing twice as much crime as white people, you still have to acknowledge that a black person is more than twice as likely to be shot by police than a white person is.

Yeah and a black person is twice as likely to commit a crime as well.

Nobody is mentioning causation, has anyone mentioned socioeconomic and cultural factors affecting blacks compared to whites? No. We're not discussing causation. If you want we can get into that though, just say the word, you know I can school you on that too.

What we're doing here is comparing correlations. Within an acceptable error margin black people are arrested at ~2:1 rate compared to whites, convicted at ~2:1 rate compared to whites and shot at ~2:1 rate compared to whites. If this was arbitrary racism the rates wouldn't be consistent between each other and between other groups, because if it was racism the evil racists wouldn't go up to a rate of ~2:1 and go "whoa whoa whoa we need to slow down!" If it was racism they would keep going, because they would be evil.

America’s justice system is inherently racist due to the way The United States of America was founded (by white people) and whose power the laws of the country were originally written to protect (white people). To reckon with the modern justice system, we must reckon with its racist underpinnings—like the fact that black people are sentenced to longer jail sentences, and in greater numbers, than white people for drug offenses. To change the system, we must highlight its failings, no matter how uncomfortable they may make us.

But people outside the system can’t, on their own, change the system as a whole. Most of the change must come from within. That means better training for police, better police/community relations, a decrease in the militarization of local and state police departments, and a greater willingness to treat bad cops as criminals worth prosecuting instead of as “cops who made a mistake”.

>America’s justice system is inherently racist due to the way The United States of America was founded (by white people)
Caucasians are not inherently racist against africans. Africans are not inherently racist against caucasians. Asians are not inherently racist against either caucasians or africans, and caucasians and africans are not inherently racist against asians. If you are suggesting there is an inherent level of racism anywhere, then this can't be changed.

This is an inherently reductionist and racist view, please stop thinking like this.

>and whose power the laws of the country were originally written to protect (white people).
The constitution was originally written to give equal protection under the law to all citizens. It just too a long time to get de-facto application of these laws. The emancipation and the civil rights movement removed the last vestiges of racism within the system, we even have affirmative action and other laws that benefit black people at the expense of white people.

>like the fact that black people are sentenced to longer jail sentences, and in greater numbers, than white people for drug offenses.
This has to do with inner cities punishing drug offenses in harsher ways, at the request of black community leaders who are trying to get drugs off their streets. Bill Clinton sat down with black community leaders and they created this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violent_Crime_Control_and_Law_Enforcement_Act
This law also created things like hate crimes, which disproportionately target white people. For example white violence against black people was 28 times more likely (1 in 45 incidents) to be labelled as a hate crime than black violence against white people (1 in 1254 incidents), despite the fact that it is more common.

>Caucasians are not inherently racist against africans.

No shit. But the Founding Fathers, as a collective, did hold prejudices against black people. (Some of them were even slaveowners.) If that weren’t the case, they would’ve written the Constitution in such a way as to free all enslaved men, give them access to the same rights as white men, and treat them with the exact same dignity and respect as white men. The Founding Fathers did no such thing.

>If you are suggesting there is an inherent level of racism anywhere, then this can't be changed.

I am suggesting that the systems which underpin our society have some level of inherent racism within them…

>The constitution was originally written to give equal protection under the law to all citizens.

…because the major Constitutional laws that govern our society were originally written in a time where white people were the only people considered “citizens” under American law. Slaves—black people—had few, if any, of the same civil rights to which white people were entitled under the Constitution. It is impossible to escape this fact, and it is imperative to acknowledge it.

>The emancipation and the civil rights movement removed the last vestiges of racism within the system

No, it didn’t. It really didn’t.

>This has to do with inner cities punishing drug offenses in harsher ways

And now we have more black people in jail than white people convicted of the same drug offenses—and black people are serving longer sentences for those same offenses, too. You don’t see anything racist about how we jail a minority population more often than (and for longer than) a majority population for the exact same crimes?

>This law also created things like hate crimes, which disproportionately target white people.

No they don't, there's no such thing as "inherent" in any western system of government, because they're designed to be changed rapidly. This is a lesson we learned in the renaissance and the main reason we started abandoning monarchy.

>white people were the only people considered “citizens” under American law
>Slaves—black people
Plenty of free black people existed, some of them even owned slaves of their own. Plenty of white slaves existed. Automatically identifying black people as slaves says there's something wrong with your brain.

>No, it didn’t. It really didn’t.
Yeah it did, all that's left is socioeconomic stuff.

>You don’t see anything racist about how we jail a minority population more often than (and for longer than) a majority population for the exact same crimes?
1. 1994 Crime Bill that BLM is crying about was supported by black community leaders. If it's racist, it's not the white mans burden, so stop pinning it on us.
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/analysis-black-leaders-supported-clinton-s-crime-bill-n552961

2. Also it was supported by Bill Clinton, senator Sanders, and senator Joe Biden. Even if you want to somehow twist it into white peoples fault you have to hang it on your favorite party, because conservatives overwhelmingly argued against it on the grounds it would be discriminatory.
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/103-1994/h416

3. Most important of all, we covered how this same law targets the majority disproportionately as well. Meaning it's not racist specifically against a minority, it's just an overall bad law that influences every ethnic group badly.

Obama is shooting himself in the foot. With a grenade launcher. Obama met with BLM and agreed with all their concerns, then he turns around and claims ignorance when something like this happens?

"It's very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter" < literally what obama is claiming
"he was upset about Black Lives Matter (and) he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers." < paraphrase of what the suspect said before he died

There are civil rights activists and regular liberals criticizing him for ignoring the very real problems that caused this to focus just on guns. It seems guns are the perfect scapegoat whenever something like this happens. By the way I'm not saying I agree with what these idiots did either, Dallas police chief is black and the Dallas PD is the only department in the country doing the right kind of community outreach, to punish them like this is grossly unfair.

Presumably, she's taking this attitude because she knows that the instant somebody says "No, this is retarded" then some Leave voters will decide to carry on where Thomas Mair left off.

Interestingly, there's a legal challenge to the referendum result, which is basically over a thousand lawyers saying "You know this shit isn't legally binding, right? You're going to check to see if we can actually make it through Brexit without another fucking recession, riiiiiiiight?"

Not that guy, but "Russia Today", a state-sponsored television network, isn't exactly comparable to privately-owned news programs like politico, new york times, cnn, cbs, pbs, nbc, msnbc and huffingtong post. NPR would be a bit closer in example as it receives public funds. Or you could be making the point that all media outlets have their own biases, to which case the point is moot because that would mean not trusting any news you read whatsoever and you might as well just move out to a log cabin in the woods at that point.

THAT SAID, just telling people not to post links to certain sources is in and of itself a self-defeating purpose. A better response would have been "Russian Today has been found by Columbia School of Journalism to be a notoriously bad reputation for ignoring the inherent traits of journalism, such as checking sources and relaying facts, and often engages in putting out experts that have no expertise, conspiracy theories with no backing, and sometimes pure outright fabrication for the sake of pushing a pro-Kremlin line. You might as well have just linked to Kotaku for all the credibility it gave your post." That way you sufficiently back your position as to why the "assassination threats against UKIP leaders" story from Russian Today is a bunch of bunk to the outside observer like myself.

The rosiest prediction from economists that aren't being paid off by Brexit campaigners is that we'll "only" have a shallow recession, and we MIGHT get the £ back up after 5 years.

And yeah, Farage's gotten death threats. Nobody's actually killed him like an animal, which is what Mair did. What's it like knowing that you've sided with an actual terrorist?

Also your petition for a new referendum contains only 20% replies from the UK. The remainder is from places like Vatican and North Korea.

>By noon on Sunday, archived records show, the petition had 42,000 signatures from Vatican City (population 800) and almost 25,000 from North Korea (where Internet access is extremely limited).

Ingrate.

Farage claimed that Brexit won "without a shot being fired", and Britain First claimed Cox was "misguided" for helping Muslims. Labour politicians have recieved letters telling them they're "going to get Coxed". but hey, keep pretending that

And way to keep ignoring that there's no fucking plan.

>I'll post one tweet and pretend it represents every Remain voter, while claiming that one terrorist doesn't represent Brexit

And how the fuck am I the ingrate? You keep pretending that making the UK into a laughing stock and bringint into its most avoidable recession isn't completely fucking retarded. You keep dancing around the fact that nobody's got a plan, every Leave campaigner lied to you, and that Bregret is real. You and 17.4 million other idiots fucked up because newspapers lied to you. Own up to your mistakes.

Hey, Remain guy; quit it with the terrorist shit. Brexitard guy is ignoring a lot of facts, but that kind of mud-slinging ain't helping. Not everyone who voted Brexit is a racist thug... just a very vocal minority.

Brexitard guy; stop acting like Leave's shit doesn't stink. The main players on your side talked a big game, but bitched out on account of them not having a plan. And let's face it, the economy's probably going to take a beating - like the other guy said, we already lost £20 billion, which we won't be getting back in a hurry.

And yeah, BoJo for Foreign Secretary. The fuck you on, Theresa?

Not like it matters... the whole thing was so rushed waiting another year would've let winter take care of a fair amount of Brexiteers. Oh, like you weren't thinking it. that it turns out it probably wasn't 100% legal... maybe?

Congrats on realizing when mud starts flying your side stands to get a lot more dirty, I commend you for having a rudimentary threat instinct.

Remember that time Brexiters mass raped women? Remember that time Brexiters shot up police? Remember that time Brexiters cut the throats of soldiers in the street? Yeah neither do I.
