The British economy is headed for a perfect storm - Prospect Magazine

We have all sorts of problems in Europe at the moment, but the british population are starting to feel the consequences of leavinge EU, combined with leadership that hasn't really invested in the workforce.

Wonder who's lives Nigel Farage is fucking up now...

It’s what they wanted so…

Should we be our brother's keepers and what would that look like properly done?

I didn’t!
I'm a bit insulated from some of the crap, my wife gets her work mostly from the EU and a lot of our bank accounts and investments are in the EU. I work for the NHS so I've got job security. Still it's a shit show that didn't need to happen and has pretty much no definite upside.

You need to put this shit show squarely on the Champions Of Brexit, Nigel and all the other fuckheads, cause if you dont they just gonna point to the next scapegoat... and the next and the next and the next.
Then eventually rejoin 🙂.

No but we’ll welcome them with open arms like we will maga right wingers when and if they ever come to their senses. In the meantime, you cannot help people who don’t want to help themselves.

So are you going on a strike once the mourning is over or are you waiting for your new nepalese colleagues?

Great time to remind everyone that leaving the EU was an idea that Russia had, and instilled into the populace through agitprop and psyops.

Great idea that we created a society so psychologically ignorant as to be unable to distinguish real needs fraudulent claims about how sleeping on a Mr pillow will cause you to have nocturnal emissions. A world full of intelligent people would bankrupt most businesses. Can’t have that. Fascists still like nice things.

I'm a ward nurse in a big acute hospital. I can't really go on strike, granny needs people looking after her!
I'm fully in support of a general strike right now though.

It should be all free democracies first priority to dig into that 300m top of the iceberg story and blast the lists from the top of every mountain. Its time for a cleansing.

I remember laughing when the first Brexit vote happened. People said they voted for it to make some kind of point...but when it actually passed, they were pissed off.

Be careful for what you ask...you just might get it.

The people voted, the measure passed, that's how democracy works. It proves the one serious flaw in the democratic process, a million stupid people don't make better decisions than one stupid person.

Yeah, looks like you're in for a new Winther of discontent.

This reminds me of when my parents voted for UKIP as "a protest vote". I explained to them that what they really achieved was telling the tory party that they need to be more like UKIP.

Well on the plus side the disaster that is Brexit has killed off any other leave campaigns across the bloc. Always good to have a relevant cautionary example people can see with their own eyes.

Just means you gotta wait a while for people to forget. So you know, like four years.

They are gonna figure someone else to blame for "shit" though... probably brown people.

We've decided things are not bad enough yet, so the entire country is now going to shut down this Monday due to a very elderly lady dying of old age.

Clearly hospital waiting lists are not long enough so the medical appointments people have been waiting months for will now be cancelled and have to be rescheduled for several months time (probably ensuring a number of less-wealthy elderly ladies will die - presumably this outcome is supposed to be some sort of tribute, like the way servants used to be walled-up in the tombs of their dead masters in ancient times).

So did Jones Town, should the suicides be allowed to continue?

I'm skeptical of that statistic. I don't think France has any trouble attracting tourists. I remember being quite intrigued to see the spot where Marie Antoinette's bodyguards were hacked to death by the Parisian mob.

The bigger problem is that they _own_ so much of the country. That they get excused the inheritance tax that affects people who own fairly normal flats and houses means that problem is likely to continue.

I don't get why the funeral wasn't a day earlier on a Sunday.
No need for a surprise bank holiday then, and no need to shut the country down.

Sins of the British Monarchy is much greater than Johnstown. But we are talking about QEII's demise and day of mourning. Until the UK people decide to get rid of the Royals through referendum and modify their government, there isn't much that can be done.
