Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

[celedhring]

We like to point and laugh at feminist SJWs, but then a major newspaper goes and opens with this shit

[Josquius]

Its hilariously terrible in oh so many ways.
The UK. Where the Independent  dies and the Daily Mail thrives

[Richard Hakluyt]

It is a horrendous rag.

I wonder whether the declining circulations partly account for the retrograde views in British newspapers? Even the "progressive" newspapers seem to be living in the past to me. But then how many people under the age of 40 ever buy one?

I've found some figures : https://www.themediabriefing.com/article/youth-audiences-newspaper-old-demographics-advertising

A pretty elderly bunch all-in-all; and don't forget that the Daily Mail readers were socially backward when they were young.............which might explain the right-wing and (more interesting perhaps) 1970s feel to the paper.

I find interesting how major Spanish rags have a noticeably different profile in their print and online versions. Print tries to be tidy, professional, and serious, while the online versions are more clickbaity and trashy, with more opinion pieces being featured.

Scottish Parliament backs referendum call

"If Brexit is a disaster I will go and live abroad. I will go and live somewhere else."

Farage has previously admitted considering plans to move to the US.

"There is a huge temptation to up sticks and move to America..." he told the Telegraph following Donald Trump's election.

No one cares, Nigel.

[Admiral Yi]

What a fucking hypocrite.

[HVC]

What a fucking hypocrite.

Brexiters didn't want to stop people from leaving, only from coming

[Admiral Yi]

Where in the US could Farage live where (a) people would not think he's a douche and (b) is not a dismal backwater?

Where in the UK could he live that would meet those same criteria?  Or let's just say, in the world?

Dunno, but he seems like he'd be a fun guy to have a couple beers with.
