Hilly pretty much tagged everyone I was going to ask.
Every time I hear someone ask a politician if they are scared of no deal brexit I want to answer for them – no, they are rich and in power they will survive almost anything.
Come to the UK! We’re got universal healthcare, and lots of tea!
I want to so bad, but honest question (from an American who’s been so overwhelmed by my own awful hellscape of a political climate that I’m not as up to speed on what’s going on elsewhere): what the hell is going on with Brexit?
Don’t worry about it; you have my deepest sympathies for having to deal with all the horrible things going on the USA at the minute.
But here’s the thing;
No-one knows what the h*ll is going on with Brexit.
Our government don’t know what the h*ll is going on with Brexit.
The people negotiating with the EU don’t know what the h*ll is going on with Brexit.
Even I, with my obsession with politics and current affairs, have no idea what the h*ll is going on with Brexit.
Basically, nobody knows what Brexit is, how we’re going it, what will happen with it, or how much things will change.
As far as I can tell, we’re either going to have;
A ‘soft’ Brexit, which keeps close trade links with the EU (which is supported by virtually all large political parties aside from the government, but which many of those in government don’t want). Considered by many people to be the more ‘sensible’ option.
A ‘hard’ Brexit, which gets rid of all existing trade links with the EU, and means having to draft up completely new deals with other countries. Many in government (especially the more right-wing politicians) want this because they can rid of laws protecting workers rights, trade union rights, and other basic freedoms (including the Human Rights Act). As far as I’m aware, this is what will happen if the UK doesn’t finish negotiations by 2019/2020, although I’m not 100% sure.
But on the plus side, we’re got a resurgent Labour party, which is headed by one of the most popular leaders in the countries’ history, standing on a platform of social reform, creating a fairer, more equal society, and getting rid of austerity. So things aren’t all bad over here.
@jaybird1306 No problem! Happy to help! (sorry for the very late reply; my notifications have been playing up).
Gotta go out on a limb here; I don’t think the BBC like Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party that much.
Understatement of the year. They know he’s a threat to them and the capitalist political establishment. The smears, the lies, the wild claims are just going to get worse and worse.
First, they treat you as a joke and laugh at you.
Second, they get annoyed at you but underestimate you.
Third, they become terrified of what you can achieve, and try to discredit you.
Fourth…well, we haven’t reached that stage yet, but I hope things turn out for the better.
Gotta go out on a limb here; I don’t think the BBC like Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party that much.

What I like about this post is that I can imagine many of my non-British followers confusingly googling ‘Jeremy Corbyn’ just to find out who on earth I was talking about.
I know nothing about british politicians but i’m here for ron casually doing Stuff like lifting thor’s hammer and not giving a shit
Oh snap! Daamn! She told us! SHE TOLD US! Look at these fucking trolls,
(Gateshead) So many trolls! Block them all on twitter when they criticise your hypocrisy. They’re just trolling you.
(Glasgow) For the many, not the few?? The fuck does that mean?? Surely just write a couple of books and earn millions of pounds, you lazy sods! How can you buy into this? You trolls!
(Johnny D*pp) So misunderstood. Just a good guy. Definitely doesn’t look and act like a troll.
Anyway, the point I’m trying to make it that JK Rowling is right! All of Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters are trolls and they’re too stupid to understand! Real! Life! Where you can write some books and earn millions of pounds and live in enough comfort to tell people who are on their last hope and who have finally found hope in a politician that they’re just fucking trolls. And you can say “Look how good I am, I donate to charities” but you’re against the working people getting pay rises, the rich being taxed because it effects your personal wealth. Then you have the hypocrisy to say you’re a feminist and at the same time defend a proven domestic abuser.
So yes, thank you JK Rowling for reminding us good for nothing trolls that you are indeed correct. We shall now go back to trolling and change the country for the better.
