Read that whole thread ^ 

same!

I started to wonder if the same would happen in the US? That if some US state decided to secede from the union the state's citizens supporting the secession would be surprised that they no longer have the same rights as US citizens and can't just go around normally moving from state to state and living wherever they want anymore?

It sounds stupid but I have to admit I would not be surprised anymore.

Last time some states tried to secede there was a bit of war about it. Not sure if Americans have become less violent and trigger happy since.

Does that guy record his entire life to twitter? Seems like a constant rolling commentary of everything he does.

Edit: Also, thanks for reminding me about Brexit! Had forgotten all about it

The saga continues by the way. The Idiot Son is coming over and has plans to bribe the mayor.

lol, this is hilarious. these people sound too dumb for this story to be real, but the last few years has seriously lowered my expectations of people in general.

this little bit of info might have some corroborating evidence:

Oh no! They've deleted their account, will never get to hear the end of the story. Maybe the idiot son found out about the twitter thread.

Lame.

Here's the full thing, there were some updates, and also explains why he deleted the account.

It was already pretty sus, corroborating evidence or no, but towards the end it starts to really stretch my credulity.

Yeah, that really seems to go off the deep end, if he had paced it out over a few weeks maaaaybe, but he just blew his load right away

yeah it's total bollocks

Yeah, it does get a little bit Mr Bean at the end but curious to find out if it eventually pops up in some newspaper or snopes.com. Oh well.

If democratic aliens came down from Mars and looked at the EU referendum result, they’d be compelled to take the view that the UK, hopelessly fragmented by de-industrialisation and neoliberalism, is now finished as a political entity.

Covid has come at the right time for our administration, many have taken their eyes off the Brexit ball and its thundering along in the background without us realising (myself included. So many other things to worry about!)

We've got little over a month to avoid a no deal brexit, it's not looking good, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised by an 11th hour capitulation from the Brits. Trying to recover from the covid recession on top of a no deal scenario would be a total fucking nightmare.

can see Johnson seeing that as some sort of warped challenge
