Years later and the British are still struggling to understand that "not being in the eu" means "not being in the eu"

"scheming assholes at the local club have stopped inviting me to club events after i left the club".
You left the EU bruh
Funniest future would be if Scotland and Northern Ireland left the United Kingdom and joined the EU lmao
I was attempting to lathe that back during brexit and I'm still trying to lathe it today. Just want the eu to let Ireland dom England for once, it's all I need.
NI has a path through rejoining the rest of the nation, but Spain is likely to throw a wrench in the works of a newly independent Scotland joining out of anti-Catalan sentiment.
It would be cool to see the UK just become England as the sole K though.
Watch England try to send in an application to be the 51st state in the US. You know damn well so many gammons there just dream of becoming Americans.

They voted Leave too so nah
manifesting this shit so fucking hardTo be fair, Ingerlanders didn't vote to just leave the EU. They just voted to leave all the obligations and limitations, not to leave all the benefits and rights.
Nah the UK would sooner kill everyone in those regions than let them be independent. They're vassals.
The UK has wanted rid of NI for 60 years at least. The troubles kicked off significantly due to the UK govt's ham fisted attempts to divest themselves of it.
According to legend we have the Irish Reunification of 2024 coming up. Maybe it'll happen.
Inside me there are two wolves. One thinks the EU is a horrible imperialist tool for enforcing neoliberal orthodoxy. The other one thinks it is hilarious to see British gammons throw tantrums about no longer enjoying the practical benefits of EU membership after having left the EU.
It's like when chuds complain about US funding for NATO. Like, by all means, dismantle a mechanism for laundering US power projection. Let's stop funding Radio Free Asia next, those bastards haven't been revenue neutral since they were founded.
The thing is in Britain especially you still get all the neoliberal orthodoxy except now you've also got rid of the EUs human rights convention and seeing how their dumbass country's basic laws are founded on ass-pulls like time immemorial, a tapestry and 800 year old contracts they've absolutely fucked themselves out of all the good parts of the EU while retaining all the bad parts of the EU
Exiting the EU to not do neoliberalism is one thing, exiting the EU to do even more neoliberalism is just kneecapping yourself
I didn't know this project existed. Apparently they first planned it in 1990, and they still haven's started building it to this day.
Classic neoliberal short-term goalist hellhole, please Xi come and save us.
The joke of the entire EU project. Two dozen countries all yelling at each other any time someone in one of them tries to make things nicer.
The Brits complaining about this is extra funny, given how they gutted HS2 just last month.

Astute observation, Mrs. May.
Is that a France-Ireland train line??
Almost certainly a passenger ferry
Massive flex. They should do a faroe island one just to ram the point home.
It's gotta be a sea route, like a ferry or something. Can't imagine it being a train
They could chain some ferries disguised as wagons for fun
Also the Spain-Cuba train line at the south west of Spain!
I'm pretending that it is.

Wasn’t the UK govt also complaining about their tax money going into funding EU projects like this?
How are they going to transport their sex arses if the EU excludes them from infrastructure plans?
"Shit, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that voting for the guy who ran on a platform of publicly eating live puppies was, in fact, going to publicly eat live puppies."
bring back continental blockade
Petition to rename The Chunnel to The Chuddle.
Second the motion
Carried. God, this politics stuff is a piece of piss.
Here's the monthly hexbear yankee weirdly pro-eu post
Hope every country leaves the EU
Edit: And the weirdly pro-eu communist replies
The EU is a neoliberal abomination. Leaving the EU to get blue passports and do more racism is not going to improve things though. European countries are too small to be on their own against the powers of capital as the rapid dismantling of living standards for common people in Terf Island post-Brexit shows. It seems like the viable alternative to the EU is some kind of pro-worker European community that doesn't exist yet.

That's not the only thing leaving the EU allows for, anything that happens in the UK now is entirely the fault of UK politicians, there's not the EU scapegoat (which is a real scapegoat) anymore which means brits are in a better position to actually change things politically and exercise their sovereignty than any EU country, and that dismantling of standards that is happening in the UK is happening elsewhere in the EU too, except here in EU countries politics can't actually be about changing that since it explicitly means going against european institutions.

Yeah, which is not the EU. I'm just being facetious when I say I hope everybody leaves I know it's more complicated than leaving and staying, but what the comments here told me is that some, hopefully not european, leftists really think the european working class is better off with the EU than they would be if they fought it. SAD!!!
The EU is crap but it not existing isn't the better alternative tbh. I think way more EU countries would fall to fascism if the EU stopped existing, I'd take neoliberal bureaucrats over my local fascists any time.
On the flip side, consider how far the rest of the world advanced after Europe imploded itself in the 20th century. Perhaps we'd all be better off if the EU imploded again and the US followed thereafter.
Living on terf island I couldn't agree more. Fuck the EU, soft brexit would've been fine. Like, not great but still not the living hell that has been occurring since hard brexit.
Either way destruction of the EU is a prerequisite to socialism in europe. It literally exists to be neoliberal and prevent it.
I am not a yankee nor am I pro EU but go off king
Tbf it was much easier for the UK to leave the EU since they still had their own currency, it will be much harder for countries that took the euro.
Yep. But it's either that or perpetual austerity, were I greek in 2015 I would've taken the temporary catastrophe over the infinite suffering
Centuries of incest has really rotted their brains…
On one hand, Corbyn was right to oppose EU as it is an undemocratic neoliberal mess. On the other hand, Jezza's purged and Brexit just means more undemocratic neoliberal mess anyways.
The EU is going to trans Europe 🏳️⚧️ (except for terf island ofc)
“We want a better deal” says country with best deal ever
