From all of his posts...i believe that Yurimon now lives in the UK.
- and you haven't seen the Toronto drinks thread :)sted

- Yurimon = God.

Strange world we live in where the progressives prefer global banking elite ruling over national democratic self-governance.
- I agree but the problem is uk doesn't have the leaders/rulers to be able to handle this transition.mugwart
- national democratic self-governance sounds good on paper. we've just shat on our paper.Fax_Benson
- Gross over-simplifications about complex issues like this post can help explain why the UK just voted to cripple itself.nb
- Right, because labeling half a country racist, xenophobic idiots is the rational way of looking at complex issues.IRNlun6
- Varoufakis would agree with this "oversimplification"pr2
- They did already have national self-governance, just with some compromises in exchange for economic access.yuekit
- It's really economists and classical liberals that would most strongly favor trade deals and trading blocks like this, rather than "progressives" whatever thatyuekit
- Strange world we live in when calling someone 'progressive' is deemed to be pejorative. Like the opposite is something to be proud of.face_melter
- IRNlun6, an intelligent voice on the subject, finally..set
- farage is an ex banker, the UK has an entirely unelected chamber, who voted for Boris to be next PM?lowimpakt

- 'Spinners'!Nairn
- My dad worked for Coke in the 80s and every year hed bring us in to get a spinner or we'd find one in our lunch, between that and half-fill cans - mad perks!kingsteven
- I still remember standing out on our second-storey 'playground' under a grey Gibraltarian levante sky, watching in awe the Prof Coke SpinnersNairn

- There won't be any Kebab Shops after Brexit.PhanLo
- u are in the kebab shop but u can´t afford to buy anything would be accurate.neverscared
- In the kebab shop at 9pm with old racist people while getting texts from the guys who stayed in the bar, who are all getting blowjobs would be accurate.Hayzilla

for some reason I started a strange conversation about William Rees Mogg in the UK elections thread. Whilst looking for a link re that topic, I discovered the names of his kids are even more Rees Mogg than I could have imagined.
- Christ, that's borderline Spanish levels of superfluous nominative insanity.detritus
- Aww, his daughter gets just the one name.monoboy
- hahahaha and Marycolin_s
- how on Earth does a post like this get downvoted? fucking -1s from miserable cunts.detritus

can anyone give me one good thing that's come out of brexit? i can't think of anything
ok so we have annoyed the french fisherman which i suppose will give some ukippers a hard on, but really is that it?
i guess the paperpushing jobsworth bureaucrats will be really happy as they can now disallow goods in to or out of the country because some form or other is incorrectly filled out.
but otherwise
travel to europe is more difficult / expensive
trade with europe is more difficult /expensive
in fact most stuff is now more expensive or not available at all
pesky immigrants coming over the channel in 3x the number
etc etcwhere's the upside to all this?
- zilchfadein11
- the fishing thing was always weaponised (sovereign waters etc.) but it's such a miniscule part of the puzzle lol, apart from the fishermen who voted for Brexitfadein11
- and now regret their decision. Should've done their own research. 90% ish of our fishing is sold to EU lol, just absurd.fadein11
- Wasn’t Brexit originally devised as sort of a political trick but then it backfired? I mean, was there ever a real expectation that it would be good?nb
- obviously, it was mainly an attempt at appeasing a huge part of the conservative party, was never expected to backfire and it did terribly. Unfortunately wefadein11
- had a Brexiteer in opposition at the time also.fadein11
- i have no idea, that's why i'm asking. i see no upside at all, just worse.hans_glib
- i'm trying to understand what sort of utopia brexiteers thought they were getting. i mean we can easily take the piss about blue passports and the glorious £hans_glib
- but i don't believe that even the most stupid ukipper thought that was the end game. there must have been something elsehans_glib
- relentless anti EU media and fake promises were strong, those people are dying out now, there may be hope in the future. But surely remain and reform was alwaysfadein11
- the best option. Everyone knows the EU has problems, even the most staunch remainers.fadein11
- The flood of turkish immigrants was a huge driver as well... utter nonsense, still makes me angry a bit lolfadein11
- Depends how you define success. Out and free to act the cunt without the ECJ, ditching Human Rights Act, first tangible step in collapse of the EU is jackpotFax_Benson
- for the brexit ultras.Fax_Benson
- They were never bothered about trade deals or fishermen or the life chances of young people. More Fish! was easier to sell.Fax_Benson
- yupfadein11
- come on, look how fixed our cuntry is. We have control of borders as Priti Patel can now sink migrant boats. Also, Wetherspoon's is better nowIanbolton
- A lot of people have shut up... as they have egg on face.shapesalad
- I still find it absurd that our miniscule fishing industry is such a driver of political opinion when our main contribution to GDP is financial service andfadein11
- money laundering.fadein11
- and vape shops, why aren't people getting worked up over the now struggling vape shop sector. Bizarre.fadein11
- Brexit folk when told that their lives would become worse after leaving the EU said they'd be fine with it. Because eventually, Britain would be ledge againPhanLo

- lol, basically keep voting till you get your desired result. dumocracyyurimon
- @yuri, the petition was started by a leave voter...kingsteven
- ^ ...before the actual vote took placeProjectile
- thats not the point.yurimon
- When something like this was led by a massive lie and is a few percentage points, I'd say you've got just causeformed
- Lefties were too busy loving themselves on Twitter and forgot to vote hahaDillinger

Is anyone here directly affected by this? Other than simply by living in the UK, I mean?
Does anyone think they will lose work because of the ensuing separation?
- economically, almost everyone on the planet is being affected by thismonospaced
- It could have some major impact on global stocks. I posted something earlier about that.mg33
- it is having major impact on global markets and has been since the vote came inmonospaced
- I couldn't find digestives in my supermarket.Beeswax
- no you have 2 years left.yurimon
- The main thing is my Swedish residency status, but that is almost safeguarded by virtue of me living here for 8 years, which means I can apply for citizenship.face_melter
- dollar went up a lot compared to the peso, great for me! great for Mexico too, more tourists (not too thrilled about that myself)moldero
- I get paid £pound Stirling and live in France, so took an instant pay cut this morning...WhiteFace
- I heard through recruiters of hiring freezes throughout London. I'd expect a recession this/next quarter.LukeO
- why would they stop, they still have access to markets right? doesnt sound rational.yurimon
- That's why it's called "panic." Is panic ever rational?ETM
- We've had the quietest period I can ever remember at a place I work, clients putting projects off due to this vote and uncertaintyRanger
- Though the assumption was always that we'd remain in and projects were just holding off to keep clients hq happy. Fuck knows what happens nowRanger
- this prob the best time to make money in the UK. i might just drop in to set up a co.yurimon

'For a start, tourism will be booming'
As a result of what, exactly. Please, do explain the logic underlying that conclusion.
'France and Germany will be falling over themselves to do business because their economy relies heavily on the UK buying their stuff'
Err, no. In order of exports, the EU's largest trading partners are the United States, China and Russia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li…'London is still financial capital of the world'
That would actually be New York City. Not London.
'Multi nationals will still go there as they speak english'
Not with a crippled British economy they're aren't.
'No longer get told what to do by unelected people in Brussels'
Correction: MEPs are elected.
'Get to control who comes into the country like Australia'
You were always able to anyway. The UK was never in the Schengen zone, and even EU nationals had to present ther passports. Nothing here changes.
- They might be falling over themselves to buy up more of our assets if the pound is 25% downRanger
- You need a safe space with fluffy kittens and calming musicDillinger
- The libtards are pissed todayDillinger
- And you need to actually stop talking bollocks.Continuity
- The city of London is the financial capital of the world. But technically that's not England.set
- I've challenged your 'facts'. So far, I've seen no counter-points. Just a clutch of ad hominems. Since that's the status quo, feel free to lick my taint.Continuity

Ho on Earth did they not have a doc with two layers, one for each candidate, ready to go? Why edit One? f'ing hell.Nairn - i can only assume the original was created by a designer and later modified by an intern - paint over text with a soft brush and add new text on top? madness!kingsteven
