The real reason for Brexit - not to take back control - but to give companies control over us.

This UK government are such easy, easy marks for lobbyists. Bye Bye environmental protections. What total fuckheads.

They want to give power to the private sector. That's what funds their party. That's what their ideology is. And, I suspect, that's what's paying them in their secret, tax haven accounts.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Especially since he and his finance bros have shorted Natwest stock before this furore began. As with all of his bullshit, it's a grift.Son of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 12:47 am Disaster befalling his enemies, that cunt Farage must be loving this:

Re: Brexit delayed
It almost seems like there's a conspiracy working for him. But I think everything we see can be explained by the fact that he's a uniquely high-profile proponent of Brexit and a host of other neo-lib and far right policies, so the right wing press are 101% behind him. As for Coutts/NatWest being incompetent, that was just a stroke of luck.Donny osmond wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 1:00 pmNot for the first or last time...how the absolute fuck has that prick Farage got as much traction as he has?Son of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 12:47 am Disaster befalling his enemies, that cunt Farage must be loving this:

He's not a real politician so even the weak standards (much weaker, since Johnson) that apply to them are irrelevant to Farage. It would take a bang-to-rights criminal scandal to take him down.

Re: Brexit delayed
Tories are terrified of him. At the next GE their likely support base could jump to Reform if Farage came back to front line politics. Hence this bookers overreaction to a person losing a private bank account for not being economically viable as a customer.
