"Trump and Brexit made the news fun for a while, and Chapo was doing its thing and being actually quite funny. Now its all just so dreary, depressing and repetitive and im feeling myself disengaging more day by day."
"furthermore, one of my supervisors is this dude whose got insane little brother syndrome who tries and fails to impress the owner of the business, and he's also extremely stupid (voted for Brexit, regrets it, though now will vote for Reform because he has this strange and deep resentment)."
"The degree to which they fucked up achieving Scottish independence in the 2010s despite everything being arrayed in their favour (massive SNP majority in Scotland, massive Tory majority in England, Brexit etc) is mad when you look back."
"I know you guys mentioned getting her on, on the last pod to talk about Brexit/Corbyn/the election."
"I've thought about the reasons for why this is happening, and I think that frustration has been simmering for some time. I think Brexit was an expression of anger, and I feel that many people in the UK seem to feel that the social contract is broken."
"Brexit was a such a stroke of genius, we are so back 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧"
"Convincing enough people that European immigration was destroying 'British values' and then importing immigrants at a much higher rate from Asia and Africa is an incredible heist."
