Part 11 of this mega thread

Couldn't see a new one?

Hope you don't mind a newbie starting it!

Will the winning never stop?

Here we go again...

So Poland goes pro-EU and suddenly gets a UK factory as a present ?

If someone at RemainerHQ isn't pushing that as hard as they can on Xwitter (or wherever) then there really is no hope.

So Poland goes pro-EU and suddenly gets a UK factory as a present ?

Now where is Clavinova these days to tell us that 6 new jobs have been created in a shop in [Where-ever]?

It's almost like leaving the Single Market for Energy wasn't such a good idea...

I would have hoped it would be a massive whatabouttery c'n'p about puppy-kicking in Poland or some such sciurine distractions.

Obviously you and I would know the premise of Poland stealing a UK factory as a reward for submitting to the evil embrace of the EU is total and utter bollocks. However we need to remember we live in a land where bent bananas are treated as a truth from God Almighty, and that would happily have seen Boaty McBoatface ruling the waves.

Incidentally, one way to slightly game Google is simply to repeated post the same "fact" and see it bubble up the rankings. Especially if you "nudge" it by making it clicky-friendly.

So:

"DID EU PUNISH UK BY CLOSING LUTON FACTORY" is a good start. Notice how it conforms to Betteridges Law, despite missing the most crucial grammatical component. Thanks ChatGPT.

Ouch.

I hope the BBC had somewhere else to be for that one.

Tangentially related, but I see Musk is threatening to pull Twitter from the EU. Presumably UK tat-flingers will breath a sign of relief, until they twig that in or out of the EU makes no difference if they lose that market.

The second it became polluted by advertisers, I never saw the point of Twitter. In fact I may well suggest to our Marketing team that as an interview drop dead question .... "Explain how and why Twitter started in 30 seconds".

Well well well. Brexshit "Hard Man" Steve Baker thinks the referendum should have required a supermajority

No shit Sherlock...

Of course, if the referendum had actually been legally binding, then it would have required a supermajority, AND it would have been declared null and void because of all the cheating and foreign interference.

Didn't the Brexiters assure us that standards would rise after Brexit?
However, I don't understand what is happening here, because both Poland and Italy are mentioned, and both are in the EU. Reading more closely, it only seems to be the Polish eggs which have caused problems.

I wonder if he's setting that up as the bar for rejoin vote to reach?

If that's the case, then, as with everything else to do with Brexit, it will need to be amended thousands of times. Because even now I reckon we'd hit it.

He's only saying that now because he's worried about the possibility of an Irish reunification vote winning now more likely because of the Brexit clusterfuck .

I see bankers are literally going to get a Brexit bonus when the bonus cap set up by the EU is scrapped.

In touch with the people...

It's funny because it's true

I'm not so certain now that we aren't headed for a violent recorrecting event both sides of the Atlantic within the next generation. Candles can only consume so much oxygen until there's none left. The despite burning brightest at the end, they flicker and die. And when you have a class that values money more than oxygen, the metaphor is only more pointed.
