Not sure if this has been posted already:
"The UK government’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee has launched an inquiry into the impact of Brexit on the creative industries, tourism and the digital single market."

i just watched Winter on Fire (which btw was excellent!).. but isn't it funny that Ukraine just basically had a revolution so that they could join the EU and the UK just voted to leave the EU?

sorry. image
- this is ridiculous. So the conservative steamroller kicks into action?Ianbolton
- Is it true David Cameron has been the worst prime minister - EVER?!Ianbolton
- The way things are going, the UK will be pining for the time when Cameron was PM. May is a monster in kitten heels.face_melter
- ^ agreed.mugwart
- ^ agreed also. Eventually turning the UK into a horrific place for any kind of social movementIanbolton
- yep - Cameron was a little puppy compared to this breed of tory scum.fadein11

Not trying to cause upset in the digital echo chamber - but the whole thing was pretty much about reducing immigration. How do you think they were going to deliver that?
It will involve documenting who is in the country and whether the country needs their skills.
I'm not sure how else they could reduce the numbers of overseas workers if they don't know who or where they are.

- Pretty sure the UK already keeps track of who is working in the country, no? This seems more like a public shaming of foreign workers.yuekit
- Clearly not (esp. EU) otherwise they wouldn't be asking.kingkong
- The whole thing was about money, as it always is. The people didn't decide. The exit plan was already in place... Obviously.********
- Golden Sachs, amongst others, want to keep their money in London, in the pound, without the grip of Europe because...********
- ... they know the euro is failing and Europe is falling apart. It's time to wake up from the theatre show, sheeple.********

- how does Europe have a grip on the pound?fadein11
- we opted out of the euro to prevent a grip of our currency. please enlighten me.fadein11
- @kingkong I have trouble believing that considering what I've heard about how the UK deals with people overstaying their visa.yuekit
- Every government keeps close tabs on who is in the country. The only ones who might get away with it are low wage workers working under the table.yuekit
- If you fail to understand how Europe has an effect on the pound, there's no point me talking with you. But I already knew that.********
- nope - I am fully aware of how Europe has an affect on the pound - as it will also do post brexit. Your point about Europe's 'grip' on the pound make no sensefadein11
- in this context.fadein11
- I didn't directly say Europe has a grip on the pound. The grip is on the country. If you fail to understand how that effects the pound... well you're a cunt********
- "Golden Sachs, amongst others, want to keep their money in London, in the pound, without the grip of Europe" - must have misunderstood your clear statement. Nofadein11
- need to call me a cunt though.fadein11
- You did missunderstand, and there is always a need to call you a cunt you big flappy labia'd detritus - filled - vaseline smothered supercunt********
- is that your trademark with your middleclass stoner friends? coming up with elaborate insults?
voted leave = cunt.fadein11 - hahaha, love it. Only idiots make so many assumptions.********
- I have a lot of friends in Brighton ;)fadein11
- anyway jog on - you cannot have a civil discussion. laterz.fadein11
- I can and do, often, just not with blatant idiots like you, is all. I shall jog merrily onwards now, dear sir.********

The thing that really pulls my plums is the way that the govt feels that it has (and, in the absence of anyone challenging them, it has) the freedom to speak on behalf of all brexit voters and, by extension, on behalf of everybody.
'The referendum result clearly shows that the people of Britain want so and so..'
Fuck that noise. The one thing definitely missing from this is clarity. Less than a third of the population voted for Brexit and those that did so voted for a number of reasons, immigration being one - and within that there were multiple viewpoints. Some dipshits voted brexit because their local council had reduced wheelie bin collections to tri-weekly.
Basically; you voted for some intangible concept, now we're going to decide what it was you were actually voting for.
That shit needs a mandate.
- Yup. 17 million voted leave, 16 million voted stay. And only 36.9% voted Tory at the GE. But 'the' people have spoken.monoboy
- and 'the' people said... 'we're sick of foreigners coming over here stealing our jobs and claiming our benefits.'monoboy
- and NOBODY voted for this govt. They just happened to be the most buoyant turds in the bowl.Fax_Benson

What's really scary is the possibility Deutsche Bank might collapse or require a bailout so big it brings Germany to it's knees and the Euro with it.
What will follow will be the breakup of the Union and decades of decline or worse.
And the Brexit brigade will be cock-a-hoop with I told you so's.
You can bet your house on the fact Tory backers in the city will be doing everything they can to bring this about.
All the time whilst hiding more and more wealth offshore. Why do you think the FTSE is rallying?
I smell shite.
- Oh, that apple tax bill for €13bn strangely coincided with a fine of $14bn from the US.

shame the UK decided to leave when progressive movements like this are happening.
- yep.fadein11
- A movement made up of bellicose self-promoters? I'll be surprised if this achieves anything, ever.detritus
- ^ what? Noam Chomsky? Brian Eno? really?fadein11
- Yep. Yep and yep.
Yep.detritus - hafadein11

May just said this in her conference speech;
"If you believe you're a citizen of the world, you're a citizen of nowhere"

Merkel: EU market access and freedom of movement inseparable
- She'll be gone this time next year, and Europe along with it if she continues to ignore the reality around her.detritus
- Aye. Whatever your opinion of the EU, the fallout from that could be catastrophic.Fax_Benson
- detritus1
- There's a balance where nationalism's concerned - hers appears to be tipped well the other way, which is just as dangerous, imho.detritus
- btw, I don't agree with the 'white guilt' title on this video - this was just the first YT result for 'Merkel german flag'.detritus
- she gives most of her speeches in front of the German flag. I think she just hates naff little flagslowimpakt
