Remainers were the most deluded, thinking they were already in the sunlit uplands, when in reality they were just giving up sovereignty for pet passports and mobile roaming whilst 25k lobbyists in Brussels shape policy and decisions at the top are made in secret

And that’s not even the Antici secret notes from the Council meetings.

Facts > feels, most of you don’t even know how the EU works, and given an actual chance to do something revolutionary cowered like chicken littles because of a threat to Thatcher’s neoliberal single market?

Imagine voting for the status quo, lol.

Sure, we should have stayed on the single market, there was no need for any disruption

But there was no way out of the environmental disasters that are the common policies without leaving the EU.

But, Tories gonna Tory

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
