Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

I rather think he was thriving before Brexit and will continue to do so after with his local restaurant. I used to go there regularly back in the early/mid 80's and it was superb fresh food then. We used to catch sea bass, fishing off the rocks, and red mullet from down the road in Wadebridge. In those days, on quiet nights, you could trade 3 bass and a few red mullet for a fantastic meal.

You assume too much.

Some of us "furloughed layabouts" have been voluntarily assisting the community and wider planet in the vaccine rollout.

Another leg humper in the pack, a fisherman doesn't have to own a restaurant chain in order to sell his catch.

I usually stay away from political stuff here... but do you know a single person better off after Brexit? For me personally it's been a disaster. There must be people better off out there, but for sure I've never met a single one of 'em.

Luckily the European Union will not have to bail them out this time.

^^ Not even the most ardent supporter of the EU is going to conflate economic woes due to Covid 19 with Brexit.

Only the dumbest of the dumb would even think to do so...

...oh! it's BS himself...

You forgot "we". Anyway you have enough countries left who are going to be royally in the shite for the Krauts and Frenchies to further control through debt instruments. 1st tier Wehrmacht, 2nd Frenchies, 3rd the other 25.

The UK can, and has been managing its own debt since the Bank Of England began Lom, its called lending to yourself, the Yanks have been big on it this century in particular.

It's usually the other way round.

Ask the pikies.

Switch's assurance that London will continue to be the biggest financial centre has taken a knock. Amsterdam has now overtaken London as the biggest trader in shares. Some ridiculously large losses in London shares trade were seen immediately after the Brexit transition period ended.

Dare I say, "told you so"

And that is the real reason why Brexit and Trump happened. Lending to yourself with a printing press

Do you think that its a recent phenomena? its been happening for a century or more. People are just using Brexit or COVID or whatever else to suit their particular narrative. Quite frankly i find it hilarious but we'll keep on with it. Another day another 4 Birrion dorrah, its all just meaningless numbers to 99% of the population.

Get your Boomer out muppet, you sit nicely with the other disenfranchised butthurt expats on here complaining about something they cannot influence. All this angst is just shortening your life

diluting the value of the pound so that you later on can whinge on the world not appreciating its "real" value.

Curtis Yarvin travels to the UK

On the disparity of the Spectacle and Reality in England Just completing a trip to the post-industrial working class heartlands of northern England and it is truly heartbreaking to see how far this place has fallen, not just in the last 100 years, but the last 10.

Dysgenics is real. Where once stood proud cities that produced the Industrial Revolution now stand post-industrial wastelands filled with dead-eyes people devoid of hope or ambition. The brain drain to the south is/was real and has left the genetic dregs in its wake.

It was not always like this. In Manchester, Liverpool and other northern cities & towns you can see the remains of former ambition. Not everyone with brains fled to London. Some built city halls, public libraries, academies, municipal works.. for the good of their fellow townsmen

But the descendants of those Victorians are like cockroaches scrambling in the ruins of a once great civilization they no longer understand. The city halls are now temples to Bioleninist bureaucracy, the libraries now victim centres, the factories gone

Now, anybody with an ounce of intelligence or ambition leaves the north for London or elsewhere. You can’t blame them. There is nothing left here for them. Only crabs who will pull them back into the barrel. And this brain drain shows

No longer do the educated northerners who leave invest back in the towns they left. They’re embarrassed even by the “backwards, racist, proletarian” people they are one generation removed from and try to distance themselves as far away as possible: geographical & politically

And why should they? Their towns and cities have failed them. The native stock no longer aspirational and fallen to despair. In many places even replaced completely by immigrants, refugees and aliens who are lauded by their elites as better citizens

This dysgenic process is accelerating massively. The aspirational working class - once given hope by well-paying technical jobs and grammar schools - doesn’t exist anymore. Those who don’t leave, sink. And sink hard.

This week I have seen families, homes and communities that have determined unbelievably from just 10 years ago. Families that had reasonable homes and habits are now collapsing - literally, physically collapsing - as the rot quickens.

People not tidying their homes or streets. Open criminality everywhere and never punished. Ambition stretching to nothing more maximising the amount of benefits one can steal. And while civilisation falls apart, interestingly the spectacle of “progress” intensifies

I’ve noticed in 3rd world countries that the media paints an opposite picture to reality. Poor Thai & Filipino families gaze at gaudy soap operas of fellow compatriots living in ridiculous wealth and clean working competent cities that don’t exist in real life. UK is now the same

The TV glitz and glamour increases while meat world gets worse. Working class Brits used to watch soap operas of people just like themselves, now they watch endless reality shows of so-called celebrities filled with silicon and peroxide

Any former restraint or discipline is gone. Every craving of the proletariat is now indulged to the max. Supermarkets sell cakes big enough for 40 people, sausage rolls are a foot long, adults go out in childlike “onesies” and even the shower gel becomes cake or chocolate scented

How does this end? Maybe it doesn’t. It’s infinitely worse than 100 or even 10 yrs ago, what’s to say it can’t get even worse beyond my imagination? Or will it just collapse, fall apart, die? In some ways it already has. It’s already like the dystopian bad future of a sci-fi show

Cyrille and Seeking ass are just champagne socialists, posting from dark corners of the world. They have no experience of real life in the UK, so they try to harangue your opinions and find themselves with nothing but insults. So much for their self proclaimed brilliance. They can’t even debate a topic unless their replies are loaded with personal hatred and invective.
Safe to ignore their impotence.

Almost as myopic as Cyrille and Seekingass.
This hyperbole bears no resemblance to reality.

A: Take your foot off his head.

From the way things are moving, the UK might be filling that gap.

The last time there was a financial crisis, the UK was the one doing the bailing out, borrowing money to do it.

So now if we need to we can bail ourselves out, thank you very much, and Germany and France can bail out the pikies and the rest of the eurotrash that spend all their time shoving their snouts in the EU trough.

So, just who did the Brits bail out " the last time there was a financial crisis" other than themselves?

curtis yarvin

is a far right blogger, he also blogs under the name mencius moldbug.... and like backspin, he is a bit of an extremist loon.

He argues for a "neo-cameralist" philosophy based on Frederick the Great of Prussia's "cameralist" administrative mode.[5] In Yarvin's view, inefficient, wasteful democratic governments should be replaced with sovereign joint-stock corporations whose "shareholders" (large owners) elect an executive with total power, but who must serve at their pleasure.[32] The executive, unencumbered by liberal-democratic procedures, could rule efficiently much like a CEO-monarch.[32] Yarvin admires Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping for his pragmatic and market-oriented authoritarianism, and the city-state of Singapore as an example of a successful authoritarian regime. He sees the US as soft on crime, dominated by economic and democratic delusions.[3

Nazi Germany and WWII.

Under his Moldbug pseudonym, Yarvin gave a talk about "rebooting" the American government at the 2012 BIL Conference. He used it to advocate the acronym "RAGE," which he defined as "Retire All Government Employees." Acting as a provocateur, he highlighted perceived discrepancies in the popular attitudes toward fascism and communism, identifying what he felt were flaws in the accepted "World War II mythology" and alluding to the idea that Hitler's invasions were acts of self-defense. He argued these discrepancies were pushed by America's "ruling communists," who invented political correctness as an "extremely elaborate mechanism for persecuting racists and fascists." "If Americans want to change their government," he said, "they're going to have to get over their dictator phobia."[39]

Views on race.

Yarvin's opinions have been described as racist, with his writings interpreted as supportive of slavery, including the belief that whites have higher IQs than blacks for genetic reasons. Yarvin himself maintains that he is not a racist because, while he doubts that "all races are equally smart," the notion "that people who score higher on IQ tests are in some sense superior human beings" is "creepy." He also disputes being an "outspoken advocate for slavery,"[26][25] though he has argued that some races are more suited to slavery than others. "It should be obvious that, although I am not a white nationalist, I am not exactly allergic to the stuff," Yarvin wrote in a post that linked approvingly to Steve Sailer, Jared Taylor, and other racialists.[5][40] In 2009, he wrote that since US civil right programs were "applied to populations with recent hunter-gatherer ancestry and no great reputation for sturdy moral fiber," the result was "absolute human garbage."[41]

Tait notes that "Moldbug's racial comments suggest a broader trend: the anonymity of the internet allows him and others who have followed in his wake to revel in taboo language, ideas, and activities. Violating social norms is a kind of liberation for Moldbug: entertaining these ideas is to break from the Cathedral."[42]

Not much of an incentive to order your house if you know your pwner is going to repeatedly bail you out, and its banks.

More unfathomable nonsense from jabber.
