  1. Britain faces an “immediate and violent” sterling crisis if #Frogface takes power and follows through on plans to slash taxes, economists have warned.

    Proposals by Reform UK to take millions of workers out of income tax, cut corporation tax and reduce NHS waiting lists to zero would trigger a run on the pound, according to Simon French, at Panmure Liberum.

  2. Anyone remember how during the #Brexit referendum, ‘remain' was labeled #ProjectFear by it's opponents?

    And now most of them are actually fear-mongering about immigration.

    Remember how the right continuously called the left SJWs and Snowflakes?

    And now the right consistently claim to be victims of a fantasied culture war in continuous effort to justify their oppression.

    Their outrage farming was projection all along.

  3. I also very much enjoy the fact that Britain was desperate enough to sign a free trade agreement with Australia which lets us sell our excess food production into the UK without really buying much of anything from them to even the ledger.

    It’s pure cash extraction. Britain doesn’t produce much of value so we don’t give them money, but we receive quite a bit of it when they buy our wheat and cheese because it’s cheaper than anything they can produce themselves.

    This is what happens when a country spends 40 years without having to negotiate trade deals because Brussels did it on their behalf, so they have nobody in public office who knows how to do it, and then they “negotiate” with Australia’s DFAT who churns out six trade deals before morning tea and knows exactly how to write them in furtherance of the national interest. Always fun to strike treaties with countries who don’t have the skills to do it.

    We even made you pay Tony Abbott’s salary. How funny is that?! #brexit #projectfear

  4. As it has every day since the vote was taken, #brexit continues to be blackly hilarious for anyone who isn’t English.

    After all this time, we STILL see unilateralism from British officials on all sides: “We need to reset our relationship [with Europe],” they intone, as if that isn’t the funniest thing anyone will hear a government official say all week.

    My dear friends, what if Europe does not wish to reset relations with you, and is quite happy with your position as a diminished desperate counterparty on every deal? What if they don’t answer your emails?

    Why would they possibly want to reset relations with you? Every transaction is a transfer of value, and the fact that you are worse off after it happens means more of the value is being captured by Europe. Why would they want to fix that?

    The degraded state of post-Brexit Britain serves a purpose. It’s an object lesson for any other nationalist movement who seeks to emulate Britain: Sever your ties with one of the most prosperous markets in the history of civilization on earth and it’ll hurt you very badly, and maybe you won’t ever recover.

    It sucks to be on the wrong side of that deal, Britain, but that’s what you voted for, that’s what you wanted, everyone who warned you it would be like this got accused of “#projectfear.” After tolerating that nonsense, we all get to enjoy a few decades of schadenfreude before anyone lets you rejoin the ranks of serious nations.

    Suck it up.

    Despite Brexiteer pledges to “take back control” of UK borders, this poll suggests most voters, including leave voters, believe quitting #EU has made it harder to deliver effective asylum policy.

    Well, the country was warned this would be the case, but some of its leaders said this was #ProjectFear and unfortuntely they were believed!

    Is it just me or has Zac turned into a total and complete drama queen? I swear every single investigation now he's "Possessed" and being a dickhead.

    This season so far has been a total comedy show. I can't even take it seriously anymore.

    Rumors abound about Zac getting other shows cancelled bc the ratings were better than GA. Most recent being #DestinationFear

    If you loved DF - they are now #ProjectFear and back on youtube!
