Worst thing about Brexit

[elisi]

Is that our leaders are so useless they couldn't organise their way out of a paper bag.

(Was listening to the radio this morning - they talked to a German politician, who said that yes, Britain could stay part of the single market [like Switzerland or Norway], and it would cost exactly the same we had been paying before. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TAR & FEATHER THE WHOLE OF THE LEAVE CAMPAIGN???)

Even Baldrick had a fucking plan.

Darcy is considering getting a Labour membership, as that way he could have a say in who the new leader would be. Not that Corbyn has left [yet], but he's going to have to. It seems that every hour another shadow cabinet member resigns. Personally I'd like Chukka Umunna to take over - he seems the only one who might be able to face off against Boris in an election. And just imagine - the first black Prime Minister!

Alternatively - Americans, can we borrow Obama? Hold your elections early; Hillary is hyper-competent & more than ready to take the reigns. Then Obama would be able to come over here & sort out the mess. He's used to dealing with idiots after all.

Or, can we put Nichola Sturgeon in charge? (The petition now has 3.6 million signatures...)



(She wants Scotland to block Brexit... I say, let her & Merkel negotiate. More sense than all the rest put together.)

Oh, and I changed my tagline. I'm sure you'll get why.

I'm a Hilary supporter, but ZOMG, I am going to miss this President. I feel so lucky to have had a president that is so intelligent, articulate, calm and who governs from such a place of compassion. One of a kind.

I think (since Scotland and Ireland voted to stay IN), they should let them. Bout time those guys got a break - and it would be a hardcore lesson to Britain (I know, I know, I'm feeling mean).

LOL!! We'll happily send him over. This is just a Triscuit to him. He's had enough vacay dealing woth Congress methinks *snerk*

*HUGS*

Even Baldrick had a plan...OMFG...

But I liked the old tagline...!

It is an admirable stance; but in your case it's also needlessly difficult and lesser than you, you are one step above, beyond, how can I put it. Don't let just this plunge you into anti-nihilism. Not only that, in any case.
I mean, I know things feel bad, but thay are not Angel bad, you have to admit. And judging by your stuff, I don't think existentialism is a sustainable option for you, not a long-term one at least.

"In the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer."


On the other hand, yes, listen to the Greek person, who at first had a mini panic attack because of the news -but managed it after careful assessment of things, aka yes, I can still do what I want in the future), who as you have seen is totally sane, not a psychologist, half a generation younger than you, and who politically-philosophically-religiously identifies as a socialist humanist anti-nihilist and a Christian Universalist/Nature-Worshipping/Agnostic hybrid! I'm sure he knows what he's talking about!


P.S. While we are on the subject, something to cheer you up. Oh, and if you want, use it, by all means: Google -> "In which the 12th Doctor is a famous philosopher"

I was considering joining the Labour party as well, but it seems a bit silly doing that now when no one seems to have a clue.

I like Jeremy, but if we are going to have a general election soon then we need someone with broader appeal alas.

Well, at least one government thought to make plans to prepare for a possible UK exit from the EU...

A quote from a long article on Manx.net;

"In April this year the Council of Ministers published its first interim report on the potential consequences of Brexit for the Island, with contributions from across Government.

The second report was issued last week, setting out how a new relationship between the UK and the EU might function, as well as explaining how other small European jurisdictions manage their relationships with the EU."

I'd gladly lend you Obama if we could. He wouldn't suffer any bullshit from some of these fools.
