Maybe you could then make a simple correction instead of calling others idiots, just saying. It makes you look a whole lot better than just going "idiots lmao"
This not what I wanted to be seeing, not looking forward to coming back home at this rate.
I don't care how I look. If people are so melodramatic that think they'll be actual riots when we leave then they're idiots.
This is definitely the most absurd thing I've seen a government do during my lifetime so far. Crashing and burning your own country for the sake of pride, after a campaign full of lies and misinformation, instead of just canceling brexit.
And then preparing for backlash with military
Sadly lots of Brits want this, check out the top rated comments for the BBC article on this, really depressing https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/2232/c7853e90-c219-4598-a695-a9e3ed90d0d1/image.png
wtf i love brexit now
Forums are made for discussion, not for you to act billy big balls and call people idiots because you work in the "field of the civil service"
I'm hardly being 'billy big balls'. I didn't even mention it at first. As I said above, people who actually think the government are going to use soldiers to put down riots when Brexit happens are being melodramatic idiots. This coming from a person who is against leaving.
Yes, because if there's anyone to aspire to being, it was that wrinkled old bitch. Christ, it's like the Republicans' constant idolization of Eternal Leader Ronald Reagan.

The BBC HYS section has a shitload of Brexit fanatics, but so many of their comments follow a almost templated structure, using the same weird little quirks and ticks (the other week every single one of them had something along the lines of "tick tock tick tock" somewhere in it). I wonder how much of it is genuine and how much of it is information warfare. Either way, this is why direct democracy is a fucking asinine method of deciding things like this, even if there's a number of pro-Brexit comments with clear foreign backing, the ones that aren't obvious bots are still full of incorrect information or outright blatant ignorance. And it's the people who voted to leave that are going to suffer the most undoubtedly. Major cities and remain strongholds are generally quite stable economically, a lot of the leave hotspots were povertous as fuck before we ruined the economy.
This is all just madness. However, the Civil Service no deal preparation advice is now being issued to businesses. Much like the RHA has already discovered regarding road transport, almost every business leader in this country (including the Leavers like Dyson and Wetherspoon, especially fucking Dyson) is about to do the actual assessment of how much it will cost, how many jobs will be lost and whether the company will survive. In the case of any company dependent on on-time delivery from the ports for the majority of its operations, the answer will be a resounding no. The pressure on Parliament to stop this madness is about to skyrocket, particularly on Corbyn. At the same time, surely the threat of a hard border in NI following no deal will put paid to the Confidence and Supply agreement with the DUP. Foster does not want to go down as the enabler of the Government who wrecked Northern Ireland and set light to the great big IRA bonfire of Troubles 2. I don't think there's any hope for the Government to try and prevent No Deal at this point; in fact they seem to be forcing it. The ERG cunts may have got their claws into May over the no confidence vote. However the fight to convince Labour, the DUP and potential Tory defectors to save the UK (one has already pledged to resign the whip if No Deal becomes policy which it might in January) is only just ramping up. This is a road that leads to a warring Ireland, an independent Scotland and a devastated Wales, before you even start examining the damage to the other bit, the bit that the Tories actually care for. Lord Buckethead's shitshow come tragically true. Also, on that point, can we find out what the hell happened to Ruth Davidson? The Scottish Tories saved May when she shot herself in her other foot in the 2017 election. Scotland voted Remain, Davidson's party are Unionist, and the English Tories are pushing for a Brexit that will destroy unionism in Scotland. So many major players seem to have simply dropped out of the game.
It was revealed fairly recently the extent to which Russia is playing "Information warfare" and it's massive. I have no doubt the Brexit phenomena will be explained in 10 years as "Russian meddling".
https://twitter.com/sarahwollaston/status/1075130307672723456?s=20 Tory MP threatening to leave the party
This appears to be a growing movement. Potentially from the backbench leaders if Soubry or Grieves was to make moves to leave, several more would as well. Could easily lose the confidence and supply majority. One can hope - some are beginning to consider their legacy, perhaps.
3500 troops is tiny. You think they'd be preparing to stop riots in the entire UK with 3k troops? Have any of you seriously thought on that for more than five seconds? I agree Ruski, very melodramatic theorycrafting going on in this thread, and when this is pointed out all a few seem to do is bark loudly at the one guy with some know-how for calling them (rightfully) clueless fear baiters.
This fucking country and its retarded electorate deserve everything they get. We're in for a rough few years.
Sadly we hear stuff like this all the time and nothing comes of it usually. Hopefully they hold to it.
Two more Tories threatening to quit the party and do whatever is necessary to stop no deal https://twitter.com/Anna_Soubry/status/1075071933883015168?s=20
Called it. Holy fuck she might actually lose her ability to form a Government.
This whole thing is so bizarre, the government is basically going into disaster preparations for an event they can stop anytime.
Mogg is a sociopath, he knows what No Deal entails but knows he'll personally profit from it. Disaster capitalists are fucking pond scum.
At least no deal is on the table and is prepared for.
If they're anything like our Republicans, they just say they're "deeply concerned" before going back to voting along party lines.
MPs over here have stepped down from quite prominent positions due to their disagreements with their parties. There's a fair few that will be all talk and no bite, but stepping down isn't unheard of. Though the MPs that have spoken up aren't massively prominent Tories from what I can tell, so the impact of them stepping down probably wont be as public as say, Boris or Mogg rebelling more.
Would quitting do anything tho
Are we sure you're not Jacob Reese-Mogg?
u aren't funny m8
Tory party is dangerously close to the cut off point of having no majority power, even with DUP. Losing MPs could lead to disaster.
