Brexit 2: Happy Halloween

Re: Brexit 2: Happy Halloween

Just read that Sinn Fein won north and south Belfast. First time ever taking Belfast South. Going back to 1885.

Edit: actually I think SF took north and SDLP took south.

Well that similarity goes across the political spectrum because there are plenty of Brits on Twitter having the same “who tf are these people?!?” reaction that many of us had post-Trump.

Edit: Though it’s honestly worse because a) some national institutions like the NHS are under serious threat and b) you have Tories on TV saying “We’re the party of the working class!”

As someone who knows the NHS inside out and backwards, I can promise you all these Tory voters will be horrified if Boris tries to privatize it.

Brits are like us on both sides of the spectrum. I mean, they’d sit there and talk about how they’re better than Americans, then go through McDonald’s drive through, binge drink 14 beers while chain smoking, and then I’d wake up to smashed glass bottles all over the street every Saturday morning. Thr was part of reason that the highly educated brits I worked with all moved out of the UK

Smarter rather than better

Yes. Boris is smart, the smeghead routine is a bit. But he's rabidly ambitious and a quintessence of evil and he's used the full stable of populist xenophobic horses to ride to power.

Dump is an inept loser whose danger derives from the massive power of the US arsenal. A baby with a gun.

Boris leads an impotent, exhausted island but his danger derives from his cunning. A sociopath with a tea cup.

So true, they're like Wisconsinites with their drinking - New Years' every fcking weekend.
