Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

[Tamas]

Random thought that just occured to me: I have a Permanent Residence permit from the Home Office. However, it specifically states on the paperwork, that I have gotten this due to my EEA citizenship.

I guess this is a sort of get-out clause for them if they decide to send me home after all?

Have you watched that show garbon? Any good?

I like it but it is a very bleak look at how the world could develop (some aspects seeming far fetched but then so did Brexit and Trump). One sort of issue though is that I do feel tension raise up in my back as each episode unfolds so I always line up either a frivolous show or book to indulge in, immediately following.

Welcome to our future. 


Thanks for the review, I'll definitely give it a viewing; my kind of show.

Thanks. I shall definitely give it a go then; may have to wait for a propitious time when we do not feel too badly about the future of the country. Hah, sooner the better maybe

What show is that?

[garbon]

Years and Years. I believe last episode airs on BBC tonight.

Blurb from link, actual link has spoilers.

If leading members of government are busy trying to squueze a bit more out of their regular salary that's a pretty nice state of affairs.

In any self-respecting oligarchic shithole (like Hungary) a minister would spend his nominal annual salary in a matter of weeks.

[garbon]

I'm surprised they make so little. Though I guess little only relative to how pound now fares vs dollar since the Brexit vote.

Returning to my old topic: don't you guys find it worrying that nobody (of the mainstream media) seem to be the least bit worried about terribly wasting time on all this Tory bruhaha?

Is absolutely everyone hoping Brexit will just go away if they pretend it's not there?

No such luck. They think it will.

I'm guessing the media are happy to cover something other than Brexit for a change.

Everyone is sick to death of brekshit.
The trouble is the default isn't that it quietly withers away.

It kinda hit home for me how much British politics are in flux when RH started voting for Lib-Dem wool-vest types. 

Brexit will take the full bandwith of the British political establishment for at least the next 2 years.

So Tyr voting Lib-Dem wool-vest types is business as usual?
