Re: Brexit 2: Happy Halloween

This ought to be the end of Corbyn, but it sounds like he has a grasp on the party that the Clintons wished they had.

It's probably not his fault if they're losing seats in areas that rely upon huge amounts of public services and were traditionally Labour strongholds because of Brexit.

Basically, the UK is now more like the US where the WWC is voting against their own interests because of "economic anxiety".

You have to respect the people of Blyth Valley for voting to 'get Brexit done', despite being one of the regions that will suffer most from it.#GeneralElection #UKElection

Racist white dudes who would post right wing memes online 24/7?

Loved the Seth Meyers bit the other night about how it's really bad for Trump when even BoJo was part of the group laughing at him, because BoJo would be the butt of other world leaders' jokes if Trump didn't exist.

Outside of England the Tories are getting clobbered with the Scottish National Party looking to win 55 of 59 seats and the Nationalist parties in Northern Ireland looking to win the majority of seats there.

So the English will get Brexit but the Union will probably crumble.

Unreal

Unreal

The craziest thing is the Tories winning in these long held Labour areas in the north of England. Areas that basically got destroyed by Thatcher and the Tories in the 80’s, voting for another Thatcherite Government.

I spend a lot of time in northern England and I’m honestly not surprised.

Hate the immigrants that much?

The polish immigrant fear caught on like fire up there. I spent time in a small farm town on the Roman wall and you’d hear some fun stuff in the pub. And to stereotype, the people up there tended to be less educated than the southern folk. But I noticed a lot of similarites between the brits and Americans and how they react.

Well that similarity goes across the political spectrum because there are plenty of Brits on Twitter having the same “who tf are these people?!?” reaction that many of us had post-Trump.

Edit: Though it’s honestly worse because a) some national institutions like the NHS are under serious threat and b) you have Tories on TV saying “We’re the party of the working class!”

And Corbyn announces he will step down.
