Good news for Spain.
I’m sure the UK will really benefit by swapping young workers for retirees. But still, yay freedom, right?

This’ll go well. I’m sure Trump’s really interested in giving the UK a good trade deal. Not that they can actually negotiate one until they’ve left the EU, anyway (by which time, fingers crossed, he’ll be gone).
May really is useless. I’m sure going over to kiss his ring will be popular in the UK. How many people protested him in London today, 100K?
With Trump, the de facto leader of the free world is Merkel now, anyway. Good job we haven’t done anything to screw the relationship with Germany up.

I wonder what the chances are that this happens again and the Donald mistakes a misdirected test fire as an attempt by the British to reclaim the colonies? That would be interesting.

Watching the Supremes live on the BBC. Looks like May et al now need to convince Parliament to pass Article 50. They will probably succeed, but there should be lots of entertainment in the meantime.

If MPs voted with their conscience, it wouldn’t pass. But it’ll breeze through.

I read a thing the other day saying that EU rules mean it’s impossible to, say, re-nationalise the railways or the power companies. I’m wondering if that’s one reason why Corbyn is so lukewarm on the issue. If Brexit led to a Labour victory and that happened, I’d laugh like a fucking drain.

I’m not a fan of nationalisation. If your boss is the government they are still your boss.
Give me workers self-management anyday. There are no EU rules against that (not that I’ll believe there are any anti-nationalisation rules until someone can point me to the relevant europa.eu page)

I wish I could remember where the fuck I saw it. Mind you, for all the good any species of Kremlinology does with regards to 2017 politics, I might as well sit with my pants off huffing glue and shouting at my dick. I just wish The Culture would arrive in a GSV and fix everything, dammit.

But what would the GSV’s name be? 
I quite like GSV That’s enough of this shit.

I thought they arrived in the 70s and left us as an experiment to see if we could sort out our problems on our own. We seem to be failing

Fuck it. If the Culture won’t save us then we’ll make our own Culture!
Rules to make your own Culture names are on wikipedia. I recommend blanking out the real name part though.

So a day after sucking up to the Fascist in chief, Theresa May is selling weapons to another awesome world leader.

One day, there will be a Conservative leader or cabinet minister who is an exception to the “lower than vermin” rule. I don’t know how far in the future that will be though, although it seems distant at the moment.

I hope the Brexiteers are watching the utter fiasco unfolding in the US and thinking again about how to handle immigration relations with Europe following March 2019
