Dear British People,

enough is enough.
Really. Stop making an ass of yourselves. You are nice and kind and lovely people, do you really want to become the laughing stock of the civilized world?
"The people have spoken", haha. Just accept the fact that Brexit was/is/will always be a textbook example of a crackpot idea that leads nowhere but down.
Now get rid of the Demonic Possession and come back home please. We Europeans aren't perfect either, and we will happily accept your sincere apologies. Just send us a bottle of Isle of Skye whisky and an annual subscription to the Royal Shakespeare Company, and we will be fine. See you in Paris/Berlin/Rome next summer, let's get drunk [and I [u]mean[/u] drunk!], and let's have a good laugh together, about this present madness. 🌷

Yours cordially,
helenS.

Ladies and gentlemen,
today the 2019 UK election campain is going to start "in earnest" (or so I was told). These will be the most important elections in a long time. The people will have to decide whether the country will end in isolation and despair, or be a part of a greater, forward-looking political community of co-operating countries with common social and environmental standards.
Let the fun begin please. 😁

@helenS You should be standing

@helenS and ruled by others

@helenS Can I just add? Fuck Chlorinated chicken!
Thankyou
That is all.

helenS · 36-40, F

@SW-User Thank you for your informed opinion on this difficult issue! 😁

GLITTER · 36-40, F

@helenS I’m not looking forward to any part of this election or the stupidness that comes out of the U.K. in the meantime 😖

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

@Harriet03 I would never buy a chlorinated chicken

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Some will be forced to, or go without!!
It's always the poorest, that get hit... 🤷‍♀️

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

@Harriet03 yeah-Especially under the Tories

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

@helenS I voted leave-but am sort of changing my mind.

@helenS elsewhere [@PrincessK] has highlighted some of the issues we should debate. We won't though all about brexit and personalities. Given the last two elections the winning pm has resigned before the end of the Parliament we should focus on policies not personalities.

Abstraction · 61-69, M

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Interesting you're changing your view. What's triggered that?

SW-User

@SW-User thankyou my friend

MartinII · 70-79, M

@helenS For the former, vote Labour or Liberal Democrat. For the latter, or at least most of it, vote Conservative.

helenS · 36-40, F

@MartinII Hey you turned my point by 180°! That't not quite fair! 😁

MartinII · 70-79, M

@helenS Well I don’t know whether it’s fair, but I genuinely believe it to be true. To take the most obvious aspect, it’s surely uncontroversial that a Corbyn government would likely become isolated internationally, whatever happened about EU membership.

helenS · 36-40, F

@MartinII I can smell some anti-Semitism in Corbyn's party. 😕

SW-User

@helenS @Burnley123 has insight into that. I do worry given the media coverage. However the Islamaphobia investigation into the Conservatives seems to get much less salacious coverage.
I also agree with @Burnley123 that disagreement with and campaigning against actions of the Israel government regarding Gaza, Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank etc should be seen as legitimate not as anti-samitic.

helenS · 36-40, F

@SW-User User Burnley123 (a party member) and I have already discussed the issue.

@Abstraction Mmm....I have been talking to a certain Ukrainian but when I voted to leave i never thought for one minute I would be on the winning side.We should never have had the vote.The whole thing has been a mess and we have one party that
would cancel article 50,another that wants another vote in hope of overturning the result and the Tories who could be in power again in another hung Parliament unable to push through anything.
I am just fed up with the whole thing and want it over with -one way or the other.At the time of the vote neither side came up with any coherent arguments and I don’t really know why I voted leave other than that Cameron wanted us to stay.But if I had voted remain i don’t think I would have known why either.But if we end up staying then I fear for democracy because the majority of those who voted wanted us to leave -and it was promised the result would be implemented even though British Referendums are only advisory.
