Is that what you want? I can only see widespread unemployment and general chaos ensue in the event of a no deal. Is that what you want? The years of austerity and decline of the welfare state had little to do with the eu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there were a few shiteholes in Scotland that voted leave. There are 53 (I’m pretty sure) districts in Scotland. Every one voted Remain though some by a tiny margin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I know but I'm sure there were some town and villages within these districts that voted leave. Ibrox perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only pointed out that there has to be some sort of systemic change regardless of what we end up doing going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Protest vote against the EU? The majority of folk had no idea about it and/or couldn't give a f**k about it (see the turnout for the elections of MEPs for example) until the media started banging on over it and blaming it for various things, most notably immigrants, as well as spreading various lies and propaganda, and they only really started doing so on a much larger scale because the Tories starting making it an issue to try and deflect from the shambles they and their brothers Labour created. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with this. I suspect a lot of people previously had no opinion on the EU at all. Yes, it served a purpose but how does it affect my daily life - I don't know. Then the newspapers started attacking the EU and successive governments were too quick to do whatever the newspapers wanted. "The EU is to blame for everything that is going wrong with your life." "Oh. Is that right? Good bye EU and good riddance." In years gone by it would have been witches. Imagine Question Time audience demanding we do something about witches. "My life is hell. Witches are to blame. What is the government doing to burn them all." "We voted for no witches. Get rid of them - now." "I am sick and tired of the witch-loving Metropolitan elite telling us what's good for us. We don't like witches. Witches be gone." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
