This is such a complicated issue to detach from really. In theory, if I was a lone wolf in the world, I'd be all for tearing up the establishment and trying to forge a new path. At heart *in isolation* I'm a bit of an anarchist... I always have been. That changes a bit when you have kids, and it changes a lot when you have a child with disabilities. Even short term disruption could have an absolutely devastating effect for us. But still, in principle, I get it: the old systems are broken.
Now... That would be, if I thought the motivations behind it all WERE to tear up the corrupt neo-liberal system and create a better one in its place. But I don't, not for a second. For the wealthy it's about vested interests and the huge profits they can make by stripping away the red tape and deliberately destabilising the economy. For the working class it's about anger, fear xenophobia and misplaced patriotism. And the result will be a slightly broken system being replaced, indeed, but not by something better... Just by something louder. |

They've had over 3 years to get on with the democratic process, how far they got? A couple of days isn't gonna make any difference.

So you're perfectly fine with undemocratic measures, as long as it benefits you? You'll gladly call people 'bad losers' while being perfectly fine with rigging the game in your favour?
Do you not see the INSANE hypocrisy there? |

In all fairness I'm really annoyed they even had a recess they should've preempted that Boris would do that, I hope they were and are as prepared as they will need to be.

If there is a crisis that requires it, all leave is cancelled for the police,
Doctors and nurses come in on their days off if there is an incident these lazy sods should have been clamouring to come back early, not a peep of of any of them

Nothing dictorial about that headline
![]() I personally think the Pm although he might sit on the throne ...It is those behind the throne that make the descions ...much like the Trump administration. It really is confusing for us in the 27 to see the British media's reporting..."they are ratteled now.""They didn't know what happened when Boris came to power..they never met anyone like him" Boris is well known to the EU..he has been a journalist reporting about the EU for years..It is my understanding that they are quite fond of him and have a good laugh with him over a few glasses of vino.. |
