They know they've screwed up badly and been caught out by the disastrous leave vote which wasn't meant to happen. They know that their spurious reasons for wanting to leave will never be fulfilled by Brexit and realise that all options from now on are bad. The only thing that can 'save' them is collapse of the EU. This will allow them to say 'There - we told you so - we knew we were right'. As Eric would say: Really, really? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: |
re: Post EU Referendum
It seems logical that as Europeans witness the steady stream of emerging reality over the sheer implausibility of Brexit campaign promises, in addition to the incremental chaos and decline of British economy unfolding daily, the exit rhetoric in parts of Europe are starting to appear quite dubious. And the stats seem to support that.
The greater risk, I believe, is that Putin starts pumping even more money into European far-right groups calling for a exit referendums (or a collapse, as Putin would aspire to achieve). That's also a plausible scenario, although there is a limit to Putin's available cash. Not a lot to go around these days. Still, anti-EU sentiments and European fear-mongering on the continent are much less significant than in Britain. And the difference in the sentiments published in British Media and European Media are a testament to that. |

The fear of Europe? or the fear of leaving it? Had there been a credible argument for remaining in the EU, I'm sure he'd have used it. Instead, together with his cronies, the best he could do was endless unsubstantiated scaremongering that most folk could see straight through. "Fear of Europe", should read "Fear of a wonderful Continent being destroyed by a bunch of dictatorial knuckleheads who lead it from one catastrophe to another in their crazy quest for Absolute Power.".... ....and history tells us well enough what that leads to. :cool: |
re: Post EU Referendum
There, there, Dick. Try to relax a bit.
There was a referendum. Common sense prevailed. The UK voted out. It's all going to work out fine. The dictatorship has ended for you. You can smile again now. |
re: Post EU Referendum
I'm not sure whether to blame the tabloids or the people who read them.
Britain's tabloid dictatorship The Mail is the most powerful newspaper in Great Britain. A middle-market tabloid, with a daily readership of four and a half million, it reaches four times as many people as the Guardian, while being taken more seriously than the one paper that outsells it, the Sun. In January, its Web arm, Mail Online, surpassed that of the New York Times as the most visited newspaper site in the world, drawing fifty-two million unique visitors a month. The Mail’s closest analogue in the American media is perhaps Fox News. In Britain, unlike in the United States, television tends to be a dignified affair, while print is berserk and shouty. ... The paper, which runs to about a hundred pages a day, is not all gloom. It has an equable rhythm. The serious stuff is supplemented by a beguiling lineup of novelty stories (the girl who eats nothing but chicken nuggets), animal stories (the surfing hippopotamus), personal essays (“I married a skinflint!”), barely disguised press releases (cranberry-cheese-flavored crisps on sale at Tesco), recipes, gossip, crosswords, obituaries, amusing pictures, and heartwarming fluff. The Mail is the place to go if you want to see a house that looks like Hitler, or a tabby with its head encased in a slice of bread. |

re: Post EU Referendum
So what are you waiting for? You've had the referendum, the result was clear, Brexit is Brexit - what's the holdup?
