The Blitz was a crime done to the British, by the enemy. It united them against the Nazis.
No one went: oh, they're bombing London, but once London is wiped out, that'll be 350 million pound a week for the NHS.

Thatcherism and the neoliberal order was done to the people by the rich. It's an internal crack between the government and its people.

I don't think the kingdom will stay united for another generation, if the tories win in December.

Lots of progressives hate liberals does that make them fascists?


Liberals can lean to the left or right . Progressives are more likely to hate those leaning to the right.


Na not real ones. They hate hypocrites and parrots of the neoliberal establishment.

Comparing a democratic vote to leave a rotten institution to being bombed by Nazi Germany... :roll:

Are those choosing to leave more right than left wing? Yes . Are they Nazis ? The vast majority-no .

Like I said....if the UK can survive the Blitz, they can survive anything.

There's more possibility, from my viewpoint, that the monarchy might not survive; I don't believe even this is likely.

I don't care what anybody else says. I don't care if I get a "rolling-eyes" response.

I don't give a crap, really.

A "rolling-eyes" response usually emanates from someone who is passive-aggressive.

I am all for Brexit: take back control of borders and protect British jobs.
Illegal immigrants died in the back of a truck while trying to get into the UK.
Take back borders and save lives and stop the flow of immigrants.
Shut down businesses that exploit immigrants and arrest human traffickers.

human trafficking and illegal immigration is unrelated to being an EU member.

I have always wondered how those who's focus of Brexit was on making borders 'safer' feel about potentially losing access to Schengen Information System

Seems to have worked great for getting hundreds of ISIS fighters back, getting a kid trained by ISIS being adopted by a couple who had no idea of his past and then him going on to try blowing up a train. Seemed to work great for helping the Manchester arena bomber flow back and forth to Libya. Seems to have worked well to pour the third world in.
