Merry... Brexmas?


Well... wow. It actually happened? Well. Sort of. But not really.

Alas. On paper, Brexit has been delivered.

The most terrifying part of the "victory" speech was hearing Boris Johnson proclaim that "Britain can now make it's own laws" which given the tyrannical shitstorm we've seen throughout Covid is fucking horrific.

What was supposed to be one of the highlights of Brexit, being able to Govern ourselves, has now become an alarming prospect.

I'm also hearing that Gibraltar, Northern Ireland, and the Fisheries have all been fucked over in order to get this "deal" delivered before New Year, along with seed farmers and no doubt many other industries. Ironic when all along we'd been supportive of a "no deal" rather than a "bad deal". 

At least we've reclaimed our spot as 5th strongest economy, with a forecast that UK GDP will absolutely bury France by 2035.

Rule Britannia, I guess? Perhaps.
