"The government has privately conceded there will be post-Brexit checks on goods crossing the Irish Sea, months after Boris Johnson insisted there would be no such trade barriers."

Labour just isn't authentic anymore. People don't believe it. It's got nothing to do with the average person in the street. It's socialism done to the people, not for and by the people. It's a crutch for the fragile identities of Momentum activists.
I've said it before but these people go to university, choose left and think doing so deserves the gratitude of the working class. They're so busy claiming to be fighting the forces of capitalist oppression they don't even notice that the people they claim to represent don't give a shit about that worldview. People see through it and don't want to be treated like needy plebs by overgrown students playing politics. It's where working class conservatism comes from and this Corbynism has always pretended that such a thing doesn't exist.
Corbynistas have stolen the keys to the Labour party and crashed it into a ditch. And now it's full of twats and stuck in a ditch.

- I think you're right.
A lot of those people would feel as awkward as Boris in communities outside their bubble.PhanLo - they go to rallies and marches and do whatever the fuck activists do and it FEELS authentic - it's a lot more than I do. And that's the point.Fax_Benson
- There is also communities that are so fucked up over generations that it would take a long term plan to fix them. At least where I live anyway.PhanLo
- The English don't want to be part of Europe. Why's that so hard to understand?Khurram
- Labour's fault was ignoring it's instincts and pandering to the Europhile urban intelligenstia.Khurram
- Sitting on the fence on an issue over which there should have been no equivocation.Khurram
- Best part was seeing the grin wiped off Jo Swinson's smug face. "Oh we'll just cancel the democratic will of the people cos we don't like it" Umm, no.Khurram
- Time for Scottish independence, a united Ireland, and the final retreat of the 400-year-old English empire.Khurram
- England is going to get colonized by America, completing the total reversal of the British empire.yuekit
- Ok, that might not be good... Shit :-/Khurram
- I heard someone argue that the American Empire is just the continuation of the British Empire. Like when Rome relocated to ConstantinopleKhurram
- Britain was never run by Europe, will be fun paying 2 grand for an ambulance in a few years.PhanLo
- Labour hasn't been authentic since 1997 or longer. Blair got in because he made a deal with Murdoch and look what happened...fadein11
- This was an election based on Brexit and if it had been Corbyn's choice he would've backed leave like he has for most of his political career like his mentorfadein11
- before. The only authentic part of Labour was probably Corbyn, the rest were middle class, well to do North London momentum types. They never spoke to thosefadein11
- who traditionally supported the party. I agree with a lot you say but Brexit killed it, his fence sitting for 3 years to appease the other half of the party. Iffadein11
- he'd risked all and 100% supported the 'will of the people' like he wanted to deep down the result would have been much closer but still a defeat,fadein11
- because the establishment always wins elections in this country. What shocks me is how this new swathe of people engaging with politics seem to have no ideafadein11
- how politics or elections have always worked in this country. if the activists had spent less time blaming the BBC and talking to the voters who jumped shipfadein11
- things may have been way different. Social media is unbearable right now. Some of the pages I follow have gone into full meltdown over the result.fadein11
- I have no idea what the answer is but it certainly isn't Boris or should I say Cummings because he's in control now.
There is talk of a calmer more moderatefadein11 - Boris now he has his mandate, let's hope so.fadein11
- sorry for going all noteboy here, just back from a xmas do ;)fadein11
- Corbyn is the archetypal middle class, well-to do North London pseud playing at working class politics. He's authentic in and to his own worldFax_Benson
- 36 years of backbench activism? wow, how do you get authentic then?fadein11
- disclaimer: I am not a Corbynista. But he seems the real deal to me (in terms of genuine lifelong socialism) aside from not actually being down a pit.fadein11
- he's an authentic backbench activist. Maybe the most authentic ever. It hasn't helped. He's committed to the activism, not the action.Fax_Benson
- And that is why he should never have been leaser. But who knows what difference it would make, the leader certainly doesn't run the Labour party anymore.fadein11

so, what the fuck is happening?
Are they out and trying to negotiate the terms of the exit
or
is there a possibility that they're not out and stay in the EU?- We are pretty much out, just gotta grease up the deal a little so it passes another commons vote, AKA polishing a turd.
Staying in is highly unlikely.fadein11 - ok thanks, it's the "pretty much out" that's still confusing, what would it take to stay? another referendum?_niko
- yep, a peoples vote on the deal which doesn't seem very likely but I may be wrong, anything is possible in this shitstorm!fadein11
- Possibly the first one.
Also, possibly the second one.
Probably some other level of clusterfuck.Nairn - What fadein11 said. Also, he might be right, or he might be wrong. Both are for certain at this point.Krassy
- FYI guyz, our southern border is pourous if you need a safe country to migrate to. We also stop selling booze at 4am here, none of that 11pm shit.robotron3k
- My local offie's open 24 hours a day, robo.
NY & LDN are 24 hours cities - I betcha there are a load of places across the US where booze shops shut before 11pmNairn - And mine. Oh robo, you big pratt.fadein11
- no deal + panic = side deals. we'll probably be in a better position although may wont be able to hide behind decisions like giving away gibraltar and fishingtrooperbill
- wut? Literally - wut?Nairn

Is Brexit British nationalism and arrogance?
The EU was supposed to be Europe's answer to the USA.
Arizona, Portland, Kansas, etc. are NOT looking to separate from the USA...
.......can someone explain?
- I doubt itFax_Benson
- it's not so linear I guessoey
- @oey go on then? we'll comprehend the non-linear concept just as much. Is the EU not needed? It's 2018 after all. Times have changed.chukkaphob
- @ chukka sorry what? I think it's needed. I meant it is not linear in british nationalism and arrogance.oey
- and in Arizona, Portland, etc...people speak the same language, there's different ethnical groups but are basically all americans...oey
- and in Europe you know...200 something years of history against centuries and centuries aof identity building.oey
- I understand your question and point, and there's something of that actually but it doesn't end there.oey
- We the people never asked to join an EU superstate. We did vote to join a tarrif free trade zone. thats the difference.trooperbill
- @oey thanks for the points madechukkaphob
- @trooperbill I see that point, yeah. But what's the alternative? How's Brexit better? In a sense it's alienating everyone and asking for bigger tarrifs, etc No?chukkaphob
- lol fax, very dryNairn
- LOL @faxchukkaphob
- Britain has always been in the EU halfass because they never gave up control of their currency, just like Hungary and Poland. You guys didn't commit.robotron3k
- Fascinating insight again robo. Regular oracle.Fax_Benson
- @Robo currency? or nationalism?chukkaphob
- @chukkaphob would you want to be forcably entered into an agreement with no way out of it? its the principle of the thing.trooperbill
- Obviously Hungary and Poland are nationalist and protect their currencyrobotron3k
- Keep it up and Cali's going to get tired of paying for the rest of the US. The entire west coast could leave and come out ahead at this point...zarkonite

We've got drunk and stormed out of our own party only to realize that we've gone through the wrong door and are standing in the dark in the shoe cupboard. Going back out now, with everyone talking about us, is obviously not an option, so we're going to have to tape up the gaps around the door frame and wait for the oxygen to run out.
- hahahaPhanLo
- lolfadein11
- it's happening and I have prepared myself for the worst (expensive plumbing and unpicked fruit). Let's hope the EU feels sorry for the half of the country andfadein11
- helps us out a little.fadein11
- You forgot to mention that before we stormed out the p-p-p-party - we all danced like PM T.May in Africa recently.shapesalad
- lold_gitale
- so what happened to the UK, grandad?
well, one night back in the 20-tens, they suffocated themselves in a shoe cupboard out of pride and stubbornnessFax_Benson - lol fax, you do make me laughfadein11
