tfw the whole country goes to piss because the grubby pig-fucker in charge was stupid enough to trade 6 years of leadership for our futures before buggering off, and we’ve got no solid opposition any more just this racist crapspatula called Nigel.

what’s dropping faster, the value of the pound or my will to live

those selfish arseholes are gonna die in 5 years yet they’ve just fucked up the world economy

[gwynerso]

the funniest part about this is that some of them have, in the process, inadvertently fucked up their retirement funds and plans.

as much as its fun to laugh at these brexit memes i don’t want anyone to forget how serious this actually is. i have one of my housemates crying in my room bc her career relied on the uk being a part of the eu (she wanted to go into foreign diplomacy). my mum is freaking out because the uk basically just put xenophobia and racism ahead of its own interests and she doesn’t know what that means for her immigrant self, or her british born foreign children. my brother-in-law who works for a french company is terrified that his job won’t be there tomorrow. i’m living in the netherlands rn and the pound has plummeted so much that the money i budgeted at the start of this month is no longer enough for me to make rent and eat. this is just the beginning and this is only how brexit is effecting one singular person (me). i can’t even imagine the wider damage this is gonna cause.

You could punch a random British person in the face today and there’s a 52% chance they’d deserve it.

Dear everyone who says “Oh it doesn’t matter who I vote for, Trump will never win”… it does matter. It absolutely does matter.

Britain gave in to the racist and xenophobic rhetoric. And the consequences to the EU - and to the world at large - will be catastrophic.

I don’t care if you hate Hillary. I don’t care if you think Hillary killed your cat and stole your yogurt. I don’t care. You have to vote for her. You HAVE to vote for her. You cannot allow a megalomaniac racist piece of shit like Donald Trump become the President of the United States of America.

Do not give in to fear and hatred. Do not allow xenophobia and bigotry to run this nation. Do not. Do not. Do not.

I never thought I’d see the day where a nation like Great Britain allowed hatred and fear to rule. Don’t let that happen here.

if you ever feel like a fuckup, just think you will never in your life fuck up as badly as david cameron, the prime minister of the united kingdom, whose political gamble in calling this referendum has completely backfired and britain has not only voted to leave the eu but it might also cause scotland and northern ireland to break up from the union. so if you ever feel like a fuckup, just think of dave and how he, the prime minister of the united kingdom, has single-handedly put at risk the economic prosperity, political stability and unity of his country for the advancement of his own political career and that he will now probably have to resign knowing that this will be his legacy

[rationalisms]

i know everyone is panicking rn and i am too but i’d just like to emphasize that the referendum is not actually legally binding in any way. the government is not legally required to act on the result. it’s basically just a very fancy opinion poll.

while the pressure to respect the vote of the people and the democratic process will be intense, the results were so incredibly polarizing (especially since scotland and northern ireland unequivocally voted remain and the leave result is literally solely england’s fault), and the consequences would be so devastating that there is a definitive chance the government could elect not to invoke article 50 of the lisbon treaty anyway.

they are very likely not gonna ignore it outright but they might take the issue to a parliamentary vote instead, which ironically could be argued for as the kind of parliamentary sovereignty leave voters complained brussel is taking away from the uk. if this should happen, MPs are majority pro EU and would very likely vote to remain.

considering the the pound has had its worst drop since 1985 and is still freefalling and the international stock markets were already reporting fatal crashes while a leave win was just projected, not even sure, the horrific economic effects leaving the eu would have should become clear quickly and might sober up quite a few people who didn’t (or didn’t want to) realize how catastrophic the result would be.

New Laura Marling song!  It was lurking on the Interweb in a tiny facebook video.  Despite facebook compressing the hell out of it, the audio is not too bad - I will try to source a higher quality version but in the meantime you can download it at preytonone.com. This must be the song ‘Nouel’, I’ve spelled it like that because I think it’s about or inspired by Nouel Riel.  Lyrics are below.  Laura references the famous painting L'Origine du monde.  If you look it up, be aware that it’s NSFW! —————————————- Nouel: She sings along to a sailor’s song in a dress that she made. When she’s gone, sing along but it doesn’t sound the same. Oh Nouel, you sing so well. Sing only for me. Fickle and changeable, the word may always be. She speaks a word and it gently turns to perfect metaphor. She likes to say: “I only play when I know what I’m playing for”. Oh Nouel, you know me well and I didn’t even show you the scar. Fickle and changeable, semper femina. I pulled a thorn, from her tiny paw. Her feet were unclean. Fetch water, bless it twice and hand the sponge to me. I’d do well to serve Nouel, whatever service I may be. Fickle and changeable, weighing down on me. She would like to be the kind of free a woman still can’t be: alone. How I wish that I could hit the switch that keeps you from getting gone. Oh Nouel, it must hurt like hell when you’re so afraid to die. Semper femina, so where am I? She lays herself across the bed; L'Origine du monde. Slight of shoulder, long in leg and her hair a faded blonde. Oh Nouel, you sit so well, a thousand artists’ muse. You will be anything you choose. Fickle and changeable are you and long may that continue. —————————————- EDIT: changed my embarrassing “armchairs” line to the correct lyrics lol. Many thanks to pattysimcoxforcarnivalqueen for helping out :)
