if you knew a guy with a CCTV system in his house, he was either a paranoid conspiracy theorist or a guy in a mansion who sells cocaine

there is the third possibility which is domestic abuse and the cameras are there to monitor the people within the house. I think home surveilance systems should be illegal for this reason

he has entered the middle stage of savagery

I'm begining to suspect culture war bullshit may be deeply stupid

it's almost funny when they talk about money being tight after bragging about record profits

it's also kinda messed up to have people on a grading pay scale of how attractive they are

also it's a pain in the ass being nickle and dimed all the time.

What does that have to do with the EU though

it has to do with the fact that London wanted to stay in the EU and the fact people were frustrated and wanted to try something different.

Hasn't the UK become significantly poorer and had greater inequality since Brexit

yeah but we've also had severe mismanagement and the price rises of the Ukraine war since so hard to say definitively Brexit did it

Ireland's pretty well respected in the EU

no they aren't the only ones respected in the EU are France and Germany. EU couldn't give less of a shit about Ireland although at the moment they are a useful way to get back at the UK. This is not the first time European powers have leveraged Ireland against England though they didn't care about the Irish then and they don't now. After a while they will once again lose interest in Ireland

really depends on region. brexit was for most of the country just wanting to do something anything different. Large amount of frustration with Londoners being condescending to them while the parts of the country they live in suffer from underinvestment

a very strong part of leave was the idea that Britain will never be respected in Europe because we aren't on the continent and thus we're better not being part of any pan european movement. Also Poland wanted out of the EU too at the time

I'm not denying racism was a part of it but it wasn't all of it or even most. And it's not like the idea of European brotherhood isn't racially charged either

Name as many animals as possible in an elotted amount of time

the inteligent answer to this question is "no" anyway

I'm sure just a little more condescension and you'll win them over

I'd have more time for the people still on about this if they weren't so bloody patrician about it all the time
