Especially in post Brexit Britain, the guy in charge of the US is going be very very relevant. I’ll be completely honest and admit I have no understanding of the yellow jacket movement and I couldn’t give a shit about them quite frankly. Same with me and US politics. Bernard Matthews or some cunt? It is all a load of nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Farage's bash outside Westminster will probably end up consisting of cropped-haired football louts, each carrying (ironically perhaps) six-packs of the wife-beater. Incidentally, remainers have had yet another meltdown over Farage's speech this evening.

I am infinitely more interested in the French riots than I am above. But obviously most people aren't. French people doing French things is less interesting to me than the sitting president of USA being impeached. The former affects me nothing, the latter is both entertaining and will affect world politics.

EvanG Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yellow vests movement is hitting closer to home because we have had ''small'' yellow vest protests ourselves since the French ones. Trump impeachment is more entertaining but it's not going anywhere. I'm afraid it will only benefit him in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I don't find Trump's stuff entertaining in the slightest but each to their own.

Len Cnut Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Quote I don't find Trump's stuff entertaining in the slightest but each to their own. There isn't even a jizz soaked dress this time round. There is something so lame about it, isn't there? See, I think things like Watergate etc are so memorable because of the attendant cultural thing that was going on at the time, there is a sort of fatalistic inevitability and a cynicism to my view of all this shit right now where its like...man, who gives a fuck, you know fuck alls gonna happen to the cunt anyway, so he gets impeached, so what, what difference does it make? They ain't gonna sling him out, thats for sure. So with that said, its all just a fucking charade. Brexit is more interesting than that and thats fuckin' depressing and all. At the very least though with Brexit you have something of a victory for democracy and the democratic process. I admittedly don't know fuck all about Brexit in terms of like will it be good or bad for the nation but end of the day when the people have spoken it is the job of public servants i.e. the government to ennact the fuckin' shit that the people voted on and thats whats happened soooo...there you have it. Whether there's good or bad times ahead now as a result of that, well, we'll have to lie in the bed we've made, is what it is innit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you don't watch Colbert, Seth Myers or Trevor Noah. Why you have foreign news on your television? Yeah, I reckon that must be perplexing to a nationalist like yourself. Still, you complain about the lack of French coverage. Maybe you should stop thinking everybody is as ignorant about sports as yourself?

DieselDaisy Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) So commencing tomorrow 11pm, correct me if I'm wrong, there will be pharmaceutical shortages; traffic clogged-up from Dover; Eurostar delays-cancellations; food shortages whilst rotten food lies in depots; blackouts? We'll see if any of this transpires then? We really will. However in other news, there is another one (Norway) signed today thank you very much https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1235426/brexit-latest-news-boris-johnson-withdrawal-deal-EU-trade-talks. 15 minutes ago, SoulMonster said: Then you don't watch Colbert, Seth Myers or Trevor Noah.

It is hilarious as I knew he'd reply with something like this - I am now that used to his manner - so preempted him, and he has ignored my preemptive strategy and simply replied regardless haha. I have never even heard of those aforementioned people. Edited January 30, 2020 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 For those not in the UK and confused. After Friday we enter a transition peroid where nothing changes (except we can't remain) until the end of the year. Basically part of the EU, but without any influence.

Brexit's really an English and Welsh thing, Scotland has no interest in it - it was defeated soundly in the referendum and perception of it has only worsened since. I guess you can't complain if you view it as a regional division within one nation - that's a standard thing in democracies - but for me, Scotland is my country and the United Kingdom is just a contract that we're currently a signatory to. The last half-century of democratic discourse has shown us to be a distinct demos with our own political culture and aspirations. As such, Brexit feels completely foreign to me and to the community I live in - the overwhelming majority of the people I know want no part of it. It's beyond frustrating.
