Glad to see that Johnson's #Brexit cakeism is alive and kicking after nearly a decade.
@ToruOkada isn't the way to fix brexit is to un-brexit?🤔
@singlemaltgirl This has been categorically excluded by both Tories and Labour. The will of the people!!1! So, we have to celebrate the 0.4% gain by exporting stuff to the opposite side of the globe while pretending that the losses don't exist. You just have to look at it from the correct angle - the reintroduction of roaming charges has to be interpreted as an increase in GDP, not as an additional cost to mobile phone users.
@ToruOkada so just ignore reality and do the mental gymnastics to justify stupid?
i don't get it. can't they just do another referendum? b/c will of the people! can change....
hell, the french in our country do a referendum every 15 yrs or so to vote on separating from the country. sometimes they come close. it helps them gain concessions from the feds.
in any case, if the will of the peeps is so important, they could vote again, no?
@singlemaltgirl True in theory. However. Although the British people could (and did) vote to unilaterally withdraw from the EU, they cannot unilaterally vote to join, as all other EU member states would have to agree on this. And after the burned-Earth strategy of the Brexit campaign ("EU citizens are citizens of nowhere", "the EU tries to unify Europe just like the Nazis did"), well, there is not much goodwill left. Plus, the UK would not regain all the benefits they had previously.
@ToruOkada that's a shame.
@singlemaltgirl Shrug. Actions have consequences.
Although I was devastated for years because I felt betrayed by the English people, I live now as a consequence in a beautiful sunny flat in Athens with a massive balcony instead of a moldy, overpriced, mouse-infested hole in London. Lemonade anyone?
@ToruOkada 😊 👏🏾 😊
