Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #brexiteers, aggregated by home.social.

  1. 🚨REJOIN SURGE! #Britain in #EU U-turn as shock poll shows 63% now back Brussels return — flipping the 2016 result on its head. Young voters lead the charge, with a staggering 86% of 18–25s demanding back in, leaving old #Brexiteers clinging on. Demographic shift lays bare a nation moving on fast, as the next generation reshapes Britain’s future.

  2. My goodness #threads is filled with #Brexiteers still chomping at the bit to please their #oligarch daddies. What a bunch of saplings.

    Mastodon is a haven in comparison. But let us test the assumption:

    *clears throat*

    #Brexit was solely for the purpose of letting #British #elites do a bit of money laundering, insider trading and taking bribes from #Russian and #Saudi elites at the expense of British economy, stability and democracy.

  3. @ReggieHere That's probably the right attitude.

    I think it was in 2017/18 that I finally concluded that England's #Brexiteers & #Remainers were both irretrievably bonkers tribes in a shitshow that had never shedded imperual delusion.

    England's 21st century will be like Argentina's 20th. Steep economic decline, while a succession of absurdly venal and cruel regimes outdo each others' incompetence and madness.

    But sadly, without proper Latin-American-dictator shades & hats.

  4. That allowed #Brexiteers to legitimately sell Brexit as the only chance to halt or reverse #EUfederalism. Instead of #Brexit being sold on its (dubious) merits, they were free to approach the 2016 referendum as the only democratic chance to even apply the brakes. That political gift to #Farage was created by the British #Europhiles.

    It's probable that if e.g. #Maastricht had been rejected, the UK would still be in the #EU.

  5. RE: zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6/115589040

    THREAD: @ChrisMayLA6 rightly questions UK #LabourParty's "mistaken expectation of continued entitlement" wrt the #EU.🇪🇺

    From my Irish perspective, that #entitlement is in most of the UK's 🇬🇧 pro-Europeans as strikingly as the #Brexiteers' mendacity. Domestically, their entitlement imposed #EUenlargement & centralisation through 6 major steps without referendum to ensure public buy-in. No public campaign to win their argument, allowing #eurosceptics to build unchallenged. #democraticDeficit

  6. Oh this is going to get the #Brexiteers 'frothing at the mouth'!

  7. #EU updates its import/export rules tomorrow, as they will to further develop the EU economy. #Brexit means that such upgrades will add to the damage that #Brexiteers have done 2 UK. The remedy is to #Rejoin as quickly as possible to minimise the greatest self inflicted injury. shorturl.at/0UZ7H

  8. Massive, stressful queue for non-EU/CH passport holders at otherwise totally efficient and stress-free Zurich airport.

    Cheers, #Brexiteers.

  9. British social attiitudes survey shows massive fall in pride in British history, politics, democracy, economic achievement.

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it #Brexiteers

  10. Wondering if #HannahArendt's description of #Totalitarianism gives insights into #Trumpism and the #Brexiteers that we miss if we only analyse in terms of #Fascism.

    And if those insights can inspire new attack / defend avenues?

    Yup, that's what #Brexiteers voted for ...

    The right to swim in our own shit - and not let foreigners stop us.

    It's hard to believe we live in a world where Diabetics have to ration their insulin supply or risk death, despite the drug being developed for more than 40 years.

    Thanks #Brexiteers

    Thanks #UKGov for failing to protect medicines supplies

    Thanks to #BigPharma for not caring unless they can make money

    (2/n)

    ...#intracomunity #trade (which grew faster than trade with 3rd countries, maybe except for #China in recent decades), ot becomes evident where wealth creation originated.

    2) Having read Michael E. #Porters "Competitive Advantage of Nations"** would have given the #Brexiteers some valuable economic-policy clues, e.g.:

    "When a national environment permits and supports the most-rapid accumulation...

  14. The #Brexit disaster gets worse. That walking economic catastrophe #Truss smashed UK economy & negotiated a #Canada rollover deal, it's just expired, another blow 4 UK car industry. #Brexiteers have contempt 4 British people, they should beg for forgiveness. Pity we can't export all the Brexiteers & all extremist Tory cronies.

    The #Brexiteers were warned of the carnage they'd cause, but they didn't care less.

    The #EU were about to introduce regulation to stop it's residents owning companies which operated & made their profits in #Europe, but were registered elsewhere to avoid paying tax.

    When Brexiteers claimed "We want our country & borders back", the "We" wasn't you & I, it was "Them" the ruling elite.

    Those in favour of #Brexit outside of Führage & Doris, included #Putin, #Trump & Bannon. I wonder why?

  16. #Farage #UKIP

    🚨*Führage: #Labour will hold power for a decade*🚨

    "So giving up my lucrative broadcasting work to return to frontline politics for #ReformUK would be a big price to pay.” 😳

    Fish Face Führage pulls the pin out of the #Brexit grenade, lobs it at the #UK, then pisses off to the lucrative safety of KGB News to watch the carnage he's caused from a distance, not wanting to chance his arm in the Brexit #Britain he created? 🤔

    Are you watching #Brexiteers? 👀

  17. #French stock market now replaced UK as Europe's highest value market, (France 2.823 trillion US $, UK 2.821 trillion US $). Before #Brexit UK stocks worth 1.5 trillion more than France. Former BofE officials say UK “permanently damaged” by Brexit disaster. #Brexiteers should hold their heads in shame. rb.gy/brdy37 #rejoinEU

  18. @TOrynski ⬆️ a thread for #Brexiteers and #Remainers alike. Should make them equally angry …but I expect denial and weary resignation are more likely.

  19. This is why #Brexiteers make me so angry, perhaps not visibly so but angry nonetheless.

    Workers rights (amongst many, many others) eroded or completely removed so that businesses can make even bigger profits.

    I don't live in an affluent area. So the people who are defending Brexit are those who are set to lose the most by it.

    Idiots.

    No doubt, the "British way of life"-talk and anti-immigration rhetoric of the Tories (and measurable parts of British society) are the seeds for this violence. For #Brexiteers and the #Top1Percent in the UK all this diversion is a great opportunity to muddy the water before the masses start questioning the disproportionate wealth and influence of the upper class.
    #TaxTheRich #ClassSociety #PostBrexitReality #MoneyAristocracyMustEnd

  21. Poll after poll after poll now shows that British people have rumbled the #brexiteers. #Brexit has resulted in UK becoming #poorer & less relevant, with living standards, investment etc falling off a cliff. Yet politicians & media still won't discuss it. bit.ly/3VXUGgH

  22. 💥😡💥😡💥😡💥😡💥

    You voted for THIS …
    But you got THIS!

    And thanks to your utter stupidity. So did we all!

  23. Oh the IRONY of #ERG nutters and far right #torymps wanging on about leaving the #ECHR when ex Tory MP Owen Patterson has taken his misbegotten grievance over his ‘unfair’ dismissal to that very court!

  24. #GDP decline, science backwater, £6Billion hit on food prices etc. Everyone in the UK now knows that #Brexit is a disaster, the greatest self inflicted injury in history. #Brexiteers should plead 4 forgiveness. #RejoinEU #GeneralElectionN0W #ProudtobeEuropean

  25. @schestowitz
    Do you want our take on #Brexit.

    #NigelFarage wasn't supposed to win, and he knew it! That's why he stepped down. The #corporatists and #wealthyElite were furious - "it was supposed to be a token #referendum".

    The #elite completely missed that the #workingClass are tired of the #lies and #rhetoric of a #greaterTomorrow, while seeing their #local #community and #culture die. They voted to #cultivate and #protect it.

    #London/#bankers are now exhausting #Brexiteers so they #yield.
