      O'brien is too blinkered to really confront the problem. I don't have that problem. I have no emotional investment. I only got a british passport fairly recently for access to the eu. Tell me how well that has gone. But "boris" is not the problem; boris is just the symptom. There's more where this comes from. The swamp alligator in the clown suit is, ultimately, an irrelevance. This populist tory brexit cult is led by a hydra. A few heads have already preceded Johnson. He goes the next time some deadcatting is needed; maybe before. Who knows what comes next.
      Treating people and the truth with contempt is endemic throughout uk society. It is the glue, the dark matter that holds this society together. It is strange that it has taken until now for this endemic societal norm to become so transparent and entrenched in the government; after all, it operates everywhere else. A collection of 12th century lacunae surrounded by a dilapidated compendium of partial restrictions on absolute power dating from the 12th century on, a ramshackle anthology of legal precedents and disordered ministerial pronouncements in hansard pass for the constitution, reliant on the "good behaviour" of those in official power everywhere in the society, with no real scrutiny or checks and balances. The Grande Panjandrums investigate themselves. For the hard-of-thinking, this built-in fail is the glue of contempt that holds this social structure in place. This is all aided and abetted by an unelected upper house, a first past the post electoral system and an educational system for the majority geared more and more towards vocational training than thinking; and a small hereditary ruling class headed by a monarch whose educational conditioning is to rule by contempt, ruling a belligerently docile mob of serfs in service, with a millennium of Stockholm syndrome to this ruling class. It has also learned the techniques of just how much to mutate in order to maintain the illusion of consent; reverting as quickly as possible. Colonialism was practiced on the subjects/chattel of this system before being exported as "empire", and a vast proportion of the country's wealth was stolen from the 25% of the globe that it controlled for 400 years by psycopathy and violence - the world's largest empire.
      The only thing that trickles down is entitlement and unjustified feelings of superiority to the rest of the world, based on malinformed claims to have invented "everything". This has enabled this nonsense to endure as a society and system of government.
      As with all such systems, exploitation of its structural weakness for reasons of pelf have sealed its downfall. The gutter-rag owners got early wind of the eu closing their tax loopholes, of the sort that enabled murdoch to pay no uk taxes from 1988 to 1999, enabling the scrounging of enough money to build and staff 36 tertiary care centre of excellence specialist university hospitals, and staff them indefinitely.
      The easily conned electorate were sold a plebiscitary conception of democracy that has legitimated authoritarian rule, including the curtailment of basic rights and the subordination of the legislature and judiciary to executive authority.
      This is maintained by identifying “enemies”- eg groups of five refugees in a rubber boat - as the ultimate source of national problems, instead of systemic economic or political failures.
      Magical conceptions of truth put the persistent use of lies at the center of this populist propaganda.
      Political programmes that are inconsistent if not incoherent generate instability.
      Unfortunately, there is also fascination with violence - repeated appeals to a lonely, sole island as having single-handedly saved the world from hitler prevail; and ultimately this violence will be necessary to purify the nation.
      The only hope of preventing the uk from being the cause and epicentre of the next eurocentric world war, is for the union to break up, Scotland to join the EU, providing the world's most successful peace initiative to date a presence on the island of Great Britain.
      Ireland reunited, can only help this cause of global peace.
      Meanwhile, the mean nasty eu stole their brexit sunny uplands with the peacefully grazing flocks of unicorn, just because they just won't accept that we hold all the cards, and they need us more than we need them.

    Robert's comments are spot on. The biggest reason for the current political state of the UK is simply that so many people genuinely want the kind of grey, nationalistic, cruel and blinkered country that Brexit and the Conservatives offer.

      It's the reason I don't buy the "compassion for conned" idea. I mean, it is waaaaay more difficult to con a honest man. Most of those who fell for Brexit did so, because it played into their nationalism and Xenophobia, and a lot of those who are now complaining were prefectly fine with inflicting hurt on others as long as they themselves would be better off. And now that they are hit by Brexit they are whining, but next to none of them express regret over what they did to others. I have compassions for those who are now truly sorry about their vote, and who feel the weight of responsibility. But not for those ignorant "let's move forward" types.

      @Historylover Nobody ever just said "you voted wrong". It was pointed out, that the referendum itself was conducted in a way that it couldn't be considered democratic anymore, and that what was promised to get the Brexit vote over the line - a Brexit with all advantages of the Single Market without having to obey its rules - was not what was about to be delivered. People had a RIGHT to have a second say on the actual deal. And people like YOU who helped to reframe this argument into "you voted wrong", basically parotting the propaganda of the Brexiters are part of the reason why this through and though damaging thing happened.
      Make no mistake here, btw, I am NOT a Remainer, from my perspective getting rid of "block everything Britain" might have been the best thing, which could have happened to us over here on the mainland. But that doesn't change my point of view regarding what happened in the UK. There was never a "moderate" view. You were either part of the solution or part of the problem. Congrats, you are most likely part of the problem. Take it from a German: You don't give an INCH to Nationalism of this kind, you don't excuse it and you sure as hell don't support its talking points.

    • @swanpride
      @swanpride Před 2 lety

      @Historylover What the HELL are you talking about? Merkel famously took a clear stance against the AfD and their talking points. The CSU (the sister party of her party, the CDU) decided not to listen to her advice and instead tried to "reach out" as you would call to to AfD voters by adopting their talking points. The result? They lost voters in BOTH directions because people who go for the AfD, they don't come back when someone tells them that they are actually right, and moderate voters (at least in Germany) won't stand this kind of dogwhistling. It has been shown in German elections again and again that the worst thing you can do is to NOT loudly say that the AfD is wrong as well as WHY it is wrong.
      And if you really think and EEA style agreement was ever in the cards, you are delisional. Neither the ERG nor the Lexiters would have voted for that, and the sane politicians knew perfectly well that even if they could vote through an EEA style agreement (commiting political sucide in the process), Brexiters would have called it Brino and undermined it at every turn (just as they do it with the current agreement, which is about to break apart in case you haven't noticed). If your ship drives in the direction of a cliff, you turn it around, you don't "just" allow it to get its side scratched open.
      Also, while I realise that this was just an attempt to distract from the topic of this conversation: If you are referring to "being German" being defined by having German ancestors above all, this has historical reasons. To make a long story shot: Germans do it pretty much for the same reasons why kurds, Poles and a lot of other cultural group do it. If you are living for a long period of time without a clearly defined "state" so to speak, cultural connections automatically become pretty important. At the same time, though, I have to point out that gaining German citizenship is actually pretty easy compared to most other countries.

      O'brien is too blinkered to really confront the problem. I don't have that problem. I have no emotional investment. I only got a british passport fairly recently for access to the eu.

      O'brien is too blinkered to really confront the problem. I don't have that problem. I have no emotional investment. I only got a british passport fairly recently for access to the eu. Tell me how well that has gone. But "boris" is not the problem; boris is just the symptom. There's more where this comes from. The swamp alligator in the clown suit is, ultimately, an irrelevance. This populist tory brexit cult is led by a hydra. A few heads have already preceded Johnson. He goes the next time some deadcatting is needed; maybe before. Who knows what comes next.
      Treating people and the truth with contempt is endemic throughout uk society. It is the glue, the dark matter that holds this society together. It is strange that it has taken until now for this endemic societal norm to become so transparent and entrenched in the government; after all, it operates everywhere else. A collection of 12th century lacunae surrounded by a dilapidated compendium of partial restrictions on absolute power dating from the 12th century on, a ramshackle anthology of legal precedents and disordered ministerial pronouncements in hansard pass for the constitution, reliant on the "good behaviour" of those in official power everywhere in the society, with no real scrutiny or checks and balances. The Grande Panjandrums investigate themselves. For the hard-of-thinking, this built-in fail is the glue of contempt that holds this social structure in place. This is all aided and abetted by an unelected upper house, a first past the post electoral system and an educational system for the majority geared more and more towards vocational training than thinking; and a small hereditary ruling class headed by a monarch whose educational conditioning is to rule by contempt, ruling a belligerently docile mob of serfs in service, with a millennium of Stockholm syndrome to this ruling class. It has also learned the techniques of just how much to mutate in order to maintain the illusion of consent; reverting as quickly as possible. Colonialism was practiced on the subjects/chattel of this system before being exported as "empire", and a vast proportion of the country's wealth was stolen from the 25% of the globe that it controlled for 400 years by psycopathy and violence - the world's largest empire.
      The only thing that trickles down is entitlement and unjustified feelings of superiority to the rest of the world, based on malinformed claims to have invented "everything". This has enabled this nonsense to endure as a society and system of government.
      As with all such systems, exploitation of its structural weakness for reasons of pelf have sealed its downfall. The gutter-rag owners got early wind of the eu closing their tax loopholes, of the sort that enabled murdoch to pay no uk taxes from 1988 to 1999, enabling the scrounging of enough money to build and staff 36 tertiary care centre of excellence specialist university hospitals, and staff them indefinitely.
      The easily conned electorate were sold a plebiscitary conception of democracy that has legitimated authoritarian rule, including the curtailment of basic rights and the subordination of the legislature and judiciary to executive authority.

    James, you really are almost the only voice of truth in the current “fact avoidance media” that we see elsewhere. No one is challenging the continued damage that Brexit is causing our country and the truth has become such a stranger to our Government that they’re not even pretending to take any notice of it. I am very concerned about our future as a country and deeply depressed for our children’s future. The solution is not who we elect next, but how we get the current Government out, because I honestly don’t see how anyone can do more damage.

      Since I voted Liberal Democrat your comment is irrelevant. I admit being a europhile and under no circumstances would we have left the EU if Liberal Democrats had been in power, thus we would not find ourselves in the position of losing 4% of our GDP on top of the 2% by COVID19. Certainly the right wing self interested bunch of conmen who are in power now have done nothing to improve our country and the debacle of the COVID response would not have left over 150000 people dead. So you can keep harping on about it would have been worse with Labour, but that misses the point completely. It doesn’t matter if Labour would have been worse, because there is no doubt in my mind that what the Torys have left us with is an absolute disaster that would have been avoided if they hadn’t foisted off a bunch of lies onto the public. If the right wing Nazi owned sections of our media hadn’t for the last 20 years run a concerted campaign of scaremongering lies and if the many stupid people who voted for Brexit had been a bit more diligent about their research and applied a bit of critical thinking. When experts are telling you it will be a clusterf#*k it might have been an idea to take notice. So don’t tell me it would have been worse with Labour, because right now that’s irrelevant, our country is going to suffer for decades on this decision and from that there is no escape.

    The BREXIT vote was flawed from the bottom - up. Firstly, it should have been a compulsory vote for all eligible voters or at least an 80% turnout for it to count. Secondly, the result should have had to be conclusive for it to be implemented. In other words, to implement a constitutional change like this, the winning margin should have had to be, at least, 10%.

    The roots of this go deeper than Brexit - the British economy and society started to go seriously tits up after the 2008 Crash, and the utter skip-fire of an anti-statist, ideological response that was "Austerity". Of course, that would mean pointing out THAT was also aided and abetted by the media, and carried out in collaboration with the Lib Dems. With no real push back from the Labour right and centre. Ho, hum. The last budget showed that "Austerity" was a horrific mistake, too. Brexit and the COVID response have compounded this.

    Brexit was your fault James, because you failed to competently explain the consequences to your fellow voters, as you alone could see from your priviledged vantage point. Furthermore, you did so deliberately, as you knew it wouldn't hurt you personally... in fact, ostensibly fighting Brexit but surrepticiously presenting only the ineffective arguments against it, made it succeed in the voting booth, a fact that propelled you to the top of your profession... I think you have a lot of explaining to do m8...

    Anyone think that brexit is going to be worse for Britain in the long term? Short term has gone from the brexit period we are now in the medium term from jan 2020. Short term and medium term was always going to be hard. Long term will be better... thats 7 years from 2020. Everything i voted for has come true. Fewer competition for jobs and wage increase which have been surpressed for 2 looong decades. Thank god we still have the pound sterling and can control it unlike greece with ECB in germany when they had their troubles. Also inflation is related to the world wide commodity issues....or is it brexit fault that china property bond market is collapsing or the USA city of LA has having massiv issues unloading materials due to people shortage... must be brexit.

      So the real Brexit benefits are showing a few problems elsewhere in the world, who would have thought. There is no competition for jobs that no one wants to do. Wage increase is actually a wage drop in real terms.The pound was staying either way with the referendum. Inflation is Johnson’s head getting bigger as some people still believe his lies. Please give us one real “ Benefit “ so we can frame it and put it on the “ wall of sane “.

That’s six national votes in six years under three different voting systems; the rules applicable to the EU parliamentary elections, the three UK general elections, and the referendum. Just like Trump who lost in the ballot box, failed in his attempt to undermine the integrity of the vote in the courts, tried to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 vote and spent his time subsequently denigrating the vote; just like Remainers - they lost the ballot box, failed in their attempt to undermine the integrity of the vote (the lead case is Wilson), failed to stop Parliament from ratifying the vote and spent all their time since trying to claim the 2016 vote wasn’t reliable even though like Trump they lost in the Courts.

      I have no emotional investment. I only got a british passport fairly recently for access to the eu. Tell me how well that has gone. But "boris" is not the problem; boris is just the symptom. There's more where this comes from. The swamp alligator in the clown suit is, ultimately, an irrelevance. This populist tory brexit cult is led by a hydra. A few heads have already preceded Johnson. He goes the next time some deadcatting is needed; maybe before. Who knows what comes next.
      O'brien is too blinkered to really confront the problem. I don't have that problem. I have no emotional investment in the uk. See above. But I can really see what is going on.
      Treating people and the truth with contempt is endemic throughout uk society. It is the glue, the dark matter that holds this society together. It is strange that it has taken until now for this endemic societal norm to become so transparent and entrenched in the government; after all, it operates everywhere else. A collection of 12th century lacunae surrounded by a dilapidated compendium of partial restrictions on absolute power dating from the 12th century on, a ramshackle anthology of legal precedents and disordered ministerial pronouncements in hansard pass for the constitution, reliant on the "good behaviour" of those in official power everywhere in the society, with no real scrutiny or checks and balances. The Grande Panjandrums investigate themselves. For the hard-of-thinking, this built-in fail is the glue of contempt that holds this social structure in place. This is all aided and abetted by an unelected upper house, a first past the post electoral system and an educational system for the majority geared more and more towards vocational training than thinking; and a small hereditary ruling class headed by a monarch whose educational conditioning is to rule by contempt, ruling a belligerently docile mob of serfs in service, with a millennium of Stockholm syndrome to this ruling class. It has also learned the techniques of just how much to mutate in order to maintain the illusion of consent; reverting as quickly as possible. Colonialism was practiced on the subjects/chattel of this system before being exported as "empire", and a vast proportion of the country's wealth was stolen from the 25% of the globe that it controlled for 400 years by psycopathy and violence - the world's largest empire.
      The only thing that trickles down is entitlement and unjustified feelings of superiority to the rest of the world, based on malinformed claims to have invented "everything". This has enabled this nonsense to endure as a society and system of government.
      As with all such systems, exploitation of its structural weakness for reasons of pelf have sealed its downfall. The gutter-rag owners got early wind of the eu closing their tax loopholes, of the sort that enabled murdoch to pay no uk taxes from 1988 to 1999, enabling the scrounging of enough money to build and staff 36 tertiary care centre of excellence specialist university hospitals, and staff them indefinitely.
      The easily conned electorate were sold a plebiscitary conception of democracy that has legitimated authoritarian rule, including the curtailment of basic rights and the subordination of the legislature and judiciary to executive authority.
      This is maintained by identifying “enemies”- eg groups of five refugees in a rubber boat - as the ultimate source of national problems, instead of systemic economic or political failures.
      Magical conceptions of truth put the persistent use of lies at the center of this populist propaganda.
      Political programmes that are inconsistent if not incoherent generate instability.
      Unfortunately, there is also fascination with violence - repeated appeals to a lonely, sole island as having single-handedly saved the world from hitler prevail; and ultimately this violence will be necessary to purify the nation.
      The only hope of preventing the uk from being the cause and epicentre of the next eurocentric world war, is for the union to break up, Scotland to join the EU, providing the world's most successful peace initiative to date a presence on the island of Great Britain.
      Ireland reunited, can only help this cause of global peace.
      Meanwhile, the mean nasty eu stole their brexit sunny uplands with the peacefully grazing flocks of unicorn, just because they just won't accept that we hold all the cards, and they need us more than we need them.

      @@vladimirputin4822 I will deal with your non-sequitur and simplistic conclusion first.
      Xenophobia and racism had been dormant since the 1960s. This is a summary of what the UK public knew and wanted to know about the EU in november 2010. Statistics from Gallup.
      *82% of the UK population said they knew little or nothing about the EU*
      *60% wanted to remain ignorant*
      *_FACT_*
      *_The UK contributed 0.12% of Gross National Income (GNI)to the EU_*
      *On average, the UK public believed the UK annually transferred 19% of its GNI to the EU.*
      Only 9% said it was below 3% of the country's GNI
      38% could not answer.
      They knew what they were voting for?
      Indeed!
      So, the uk electorate in 2010, 37 years after joining the eu, was 82% ignorant the uk's entry until the gaslighting started, driven initially by the fears of the owners of all 3 gutter-rags and the barclay brothers watching the eu starting to close their tax loopholes.
