You mean the direction would actually not be democratically chosen anymore?
That's up for debate. Hell, 44% of the UK would prefer a no deal exit right now, which is hardly a minority.
Me, I'd happily accept a second referendum: Accept May's shitty deal or go no deal. I think no deal would win.
But no, Europe's approach to democracy is very fucking obvious: "We didn't get the result we wanted so run the referendum again." We see that time after fucking time, and it's the same fucking response from the Europhiles in the UK.
Trust me, not leaving the EU will damage the UK far more than leaving with no deal. City centres are expensive when they burn.
I just wish you'd take Poland and Hungary with you, they don't belong either.
Oh? Why not? Aren't they conforming properly? Does everybody have to sit down and be a nice little child and let the grownups in Brussels tell them how to behave?
Yes, the UK bankrupted itself fighting Nazis - many countries did.
Hmm, no, many countries either came out of the war stronger than they went in or received reparations.
Shit, Germany came out of the war stronger than the UK because they received so much rebuilding investment.
The money from the EU to other countries is paid by all members, and all receive benefits from it.
That's astonishingly disingenuous. Check the fucking net spend charts, very few EU countries contribute more than they receive and the UK is consistently near the top of that list.
Reducing it to a simple "they're spending our money!" shows a staggering ingorance of what's actually happening.
Simple fact: UK contributes more than it receives. Logical conclusion: They're spending our money.
Ignorance is pretending facts and logic don't exist.
And the ECB is not the EU.
Ireland was bailed out by the EU, not by the ECB. Sorry, you were mentioning ignorance? Might want to look in a mirror.
You're not really helping dispel the notion that leavers aren't well informed.
My inability to be understood by some fuckwit that voted 'remain' because he's an ignorant shit that can't fucking understand basic logic and denies simple facts does not make me uninformed.
It's cunts like you that are jeopardising the democratically chosen direction for my country and I'm fucked off with it. Get a fucking clue or fuck off.
The OP's comment was about incels, which, while inaccurate, is used as a kinda catch-all term for Internet misogynists largely because Incels are a rather prominent subgroup of said misogynists.
Oh, those Internet misogynists. That didn't rail against a female looking killer robot.
Who the fuck are these people, why the hell are you and the media pretending that all of the dislike of Captain Marvel's marketing is from them, and just how fucking many of them are there that they can so massively influence the world at large?
Sorry but this just fucking reeks of a witchhunt against an internet bogeyman intended to publicise a film about which even the critics trying to support it can't find anything good to say.
The continued misinformation in the media (e.g. "review bombing" when no reviews had been posted) doesn't help convince me otherwise and every time I ask a simple question (such as "So who are these people?") people try and deflect me with google searches for the term incel or a reclassification as Internet misogynists.
I'm confused as to why liking Alita means jack shit about your feminist bona fides anyway
I'm confused by this whole fucking affair, unless I rationalise it as an apparently successful piece of divisive marketing that's caused a lot of hate speech towards people that can't get laid. But I guess bullying is ok when people like Millenium does it.
Umm. But why? Why would the very people that love comic books, rate Wonder Woman highly and recently flocked to see Alita: Battle Angel want to see this movie fail, and just what the fuck does it have to do with their masculinity?
You're making wild spurious claims and I'm seeing no evidence, no facts, just idiotic name calling.
Sorry, I'm not wading through the utter bullshit Google will find that consists of more nonsense such as that to which I replied.
Strange that you utterly ignored my point that the people being written off (as though their sexual escapades are remotely fucking relevant) as incels are happy viewers of other female led superhero films. I guess it breaks your narrative.
Who are these 'incels' and why do you think they wanted to sink this movie?
I'm being serious here, because you appear to be fucking deluded and talking utter bollocks, because the people I've heard expressing disappointment with Captain Marvel are the very same people that enjoyed Wonder Woman and are making Alita: Battle Angel a surprise success. Y'know, superhero films headed by women.
People are being attacked because of their skin colour and/or their gender, and you're berating them for refusing to accept it.
I don't give a flying fuck who is in governments (although in my country the head of state and the head of the government are both women), I don't give a fuck who is in movies, and I do care that white men are paid less than white women (check the fucking stats) but I do fully acknowledge that being attacked for your gender or skin colour is sexist and racist, and I support people standing up against sexism and racism.
For what it's worth I've heard #3 and #4 too, from general media reviews.
When even the media are calling out the one dimensionality of the lead character it doesn't bode well for a film - so I'm surprised that it's taken so much money.
Me, I'm skipping it on the grounds I dislike the marketing and publicity approach. Fuck 'em.
If management spot a productivity opportunity that reduces net cost to the organisation then they're likely to pursue it whether they've just given the staff a payrise or not.
It's perhaps ironic that there wouldn't be a story had the hours reduction been implemented without pay rising, as that would merely be a business seeking to optimise its operations.
the backwards soon to be third world shithole that was the UK
So where did your family go that's so much fucking better?
Brexit will be an economic disaster no matter how many strawmen you build to support your delusions.
Brexit was never about the economy. The only people that voted based on the economy were remainers scared to stand up and take responsibility for their own country.
- If the UK votes to leave the EU the Chancellor will have to pass a budget that "would have to be increases in tax and cuts in public spending" - "Brexit could be the beginning of the destruction of not only the EU but also Western political civilization in its entirety," - "A vote to leave would tip our economy into year-long recession with at least 500,000 UK jobs lostâ - Leaving the EU would put peace at risk.
I haven't even touched the onslaught of stories from the BBC blaming any negative news on Brexit irrespective of actual causality. While the person to whom you replied was being hyperbolic he captured perfectly the politicians' and media's approach to commenting on this issue.
You also forgot that the UK hasn't left NATO and so doesn't suffer militarily by leaving the EU and if we drop our living standards to those enjoyed by far smaller countries like Switzerland and Norway then on the whole it'll be an improvement on the current state.
Britain on its own doesn't have the size to compete as a first-rate player in space
Britain doesn't have to.
space is tied closely to national security
Which means it makes excellent sense for the UK to refuse to support the EU in creating something that they can't access.
Personally I'd leave on no deal and sue the fuck out of the EU to get that IP back, backed if needed by limited military action. Which may be why nobody's offered me the job of Prime Minister.
Either the person who made the summary is trolling, or he has no clue about the EU.
While technically you're right I suspect it's not for the reason you think.
The EU want to banish UK.eu domain owners even if the UK leaves with an agreed deal. 'No deal' is irrelevant on this one.
It's petty nationalism by EU nationalists seeking to impose whatever pathetic punishments they can on anybody that dares challenge their authoritarian superstate ideals.
You want me to explain to you why a facility full of hardened criminals might have a somewhat high incidence of rape? And why the general public wouldn't care about what criminals do to each other?
Yes, because the US has a far greater issue with this than other countries despite imprisoning a far higher percentage of its population.
It's not coincidence that the term 'rape culture' was invented to describe the US prison system before being coopted by the man hating fuckwits trying to scare women into supporting the destruction of masculinity - and see the outcomes for boys in schools these days for the damage that's causing.
Of course, that merely feeds the prison system but hey, the general public don't care. Why?
A monopoly exists when, and only when, there is some specific reason for your success that your competitors are not able to use.
Bullshit. Nobody else defines a monopoly that way. Learn how to use a dictionary and/or do a lot more reading so that you can educate yourself instead of talking such nonsense.
I concur, there have been plenty of complaints of Amazon using their information asymmetry and market dominance to take over small markets created by independents that had built their business on the Amazon marketplace.
I'd much prefer to see Amazon compete on a level basis and allow those small innovators to benefit from the risks they take.
I only read the summary and the group names looked like Atheists, people against far right extremists and some neutral people, so fuck knows where the person to whom you replied got the impression atheists and people on the far right are somehow aligned.
So I guess the answer to their stupid question is simple: No, I haven't noticed.

Why then, my answer to your question becomes, "Both. Why are you asking such a superfluous question?"
Umm. But why? Why would the very people that love comic books, rate Wonder Woman highly and recently flocked to see Alita: Battle Angel want to see this movie fail, and just what the fuck does it have to do with their masculinity?

The EU (510 million) is a bastion of democracy
Thanks, I needed the laugh.
Btw, you forgot Brazil.
You also forgot that the UK hasn't left NATO and so doesn't suffer militarily by leaving the EU and if we drop our living standards to those enjoyed by far smaller countries like Switzerland and Norway then on the whole it'll be an improvement on the current state.
Why would it be an either/or situation?
The country devalued its currency due to the ERM too, so don't go pretending EU membership made a big fucking difference on that count.
Before joining the EU the UK was known as the "sick man of Europe", even in the UK.
Yeah, anybody would think the UK bankrupted an empire to defeat the nazis.
When countries join the EU they are helped to develop
Yeah, using money provided by the UK. Fuck that.
Ireland is a great example.
Yeah, bailing out Ireland is a fucking fantastic example.
Britain on its own doesn't have the size to compete as a first-rate player in space
