Only one month until we all in Britain celebrate six years since we Brexited. Can't believe things have been so good since we broke our chains and threw off the oppressive yoke of our evil European overlords. Smooth sailin'! I actually love being poor and watching society collapse. It's brilliant and exactly what we all voted for. No more doctors! No more teachers! No more healthcare! I actually hate being able to afford food and am glad to be living through an unprecedented mental health crisis that the government who was supposed to save us has now decried as laziness. Hooray! Hooray for everything! I'd do another Brexit if I could. Is there any way we could make things even *more* shit? Perhaps allocate the remaining community resources to pay racists to spend all day kicking us in the genitals in between painting roundabouts. Let's do a double Brexit. Just keep on Brexitin' until no buildings are left standing and everything is on fire. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🫡

@TheBreadmonkey This may be a hard thing for people to understand, but the ideology is accelerationist. They *really do want* all the things you're being sarcastic about.

Whether it's Brexit, War, Technocracy, or what Israel is doing, the ideology that's driving all this is accelerationist, to force absolute destruction of society.

The mistake is to think once all is destroyed you can rebuild faster than your competitors China/Russia can take the lead. You can't, so it's a transfer of power.

¿/‘Goodreads

Those who advocated Brexit, the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union, imagined a British nation-state, though such a thing never existed. There was a British Empire, and then there was Britain as a member of the European Union. The move to separate from the EU is not a step backward onto firm ground, but a leap into the unknown

As someone living on the continent. There's no better argument against violating EU norms and the sentiment that brings it than Brexit.
Thank you for your suffering, it makes political discussions a little easier.

@TheBreadmonkey Hey, there's still the ECHR to Brexit from! We can keep this party rolling! Brexiteers were puzzled to find we're still part of the ECHR, since it's a separate thing from the EU, and nobody knew what the hell they were actually voting for.

As an old man, I played the first version of Lemmings when it came out. So in response to the wisdom of #Brexit , I naturally mocked up this cover.

Cover of the Lemmings-game for Nintendo. This is the official "Follow Boris off a Cliff" edition, a Brexit exclusive. The Lemming at the front is mid-air and has white hair in a weird haircut.

@TheBreadmonkey Let's not forget that Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp says Pritti Patel's laws on immigration are rubbish, because British laws don't apply to immigrants. What a good little fascist he'll make when he decamps to UKIP re-formed.

@TheBreadmonkey Was just thinking about that rubber faced twat, Michael Gove, telling us that, “The people of this country have had enough of experts”. It's an expression of Orwell's 1984 come to life, manipulating truth and reality so as to maintain absolute control. Thank you for the post and for marking the anniversary.

I think you've actually struck on a genius idea here.

Convince the flag shagging headbangers to rejoin the EU so we can Breggsit again, bigger and Brexiter!

Have a referendum based on actual facts this time and let the will of the people™ decide.
