Found the yank

My neighbour at the time was a lovely rough diamond type with a big knife scar down his face. He said he had an idea who it might have been and was going to have words.

We moved out of that area not long after.

This has always been the sync development cycle.

That's not very much.

Our cats are indoors. They used to be outdoors then some cunt shot one with an air rifle.

Problem with that is FPTP. The UK like the USA is pretty much a two part system. Both of the main parties stuck with the will of the people narrative.

2017 they voted Theresa May to do Brexit

Only just, and against Jeremy fucking Corbyn.

People voted Boris Johnson in 2019 to "get Brexit done".

At that point I think people just wanted it over with. Even remainers as the political paralysis was in and if itself starting to cause problems.

Probably. But they weren't actively being lied to.

Exactly. Thank you.

It's no wonder Leave were so aggressive with shouting down calls for a second referendum after they won It's no wonder also that they made such a thing out of the will of the people. They knew full well that their margin was razor thin.

They knew as well that this razor thin margin was heavily weighted towards older people and that as each month passed (even if people couldn't already see that Brexit was a shit show) that the majority was getting eaten away as younger people turned 18 and older people passed away.

No. 48.11% of us knew that. 51.89% were sold a lie.

Well, actually, probably a few of that 51% knew that. But a lot of thought (because much of the leave campaign literally said so) that we could leave and have some kind of EEA agreement.

I can only help with the last part as I use audible. Have you tried Voice? https://droidify.eu.org/app/?id=de.ph1b.audiobook&repo_address=https://f-droid.org/repo

I don't know how you got that from what I said.

A lot of what has happened in Brexit was what remain said would happen but were told during the campaign that what they were saying was "project fear"

Dulce et Decorum Est

By Wilfred Owen

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/dulce-et-decorum-est

 Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,

    
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
  

Leave won by a margin of 3.78%. There was also very little talk of leaving the single market. In fact much of the talk that there was of that came from the Remain campaign and was shouted down as project fear.

Wot?

It's was sold to a Chinese company a few years ago.

Those who believe The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

Reduced inflation ≠ deflation

Yeah cause the public are going to look really favourably on another Tory leadership contest.

Except there's no records of that kind of knitting existing for best part of a thousand years and none of them show the wear you'd expect if that was the use.
