|
|
Can you sum up the situation that led up to the decision to hold the referendum, the referendum itself (project fear / kick out darky ) and the clusterfuck that happened afterwords in less than 500 words.
I have to give a presentation on British culture at a conferencey seminar type thing and want to do Brexit, as our groups are split in to EU and Non-EU applicants and there have been many jokes.
I also want to revisit the state of borderline race war we had back in 2016, now it is all quiet again ____________________ Top cat

I was being deliberately facetious.
I saw one video talking about "project fear" for remain campaigners, so was trying to represent what remain campaigners might crystalise leave campaigners in to.
Re: groups.
I am a Masters student in Germany. Germany pays for my studies (pretty much in full). This year non-EU students have to pay a contribution to their studies, and not a small one. I am still EU, but could easily not have been.
This has led to banter.
I have, along with other international students, been asked to present my culture. Trying to avoid a rant, and with such clear interest in Brexit, I will present that.
I just wanted some other sides of the discussion, as well as to see what other people (better informed than I [just for Borg]) would put as the most important factors.
Trevor has already added some really useful thoughts, thanks for that ____________________ Top cat

Oh, tish, you're being all irrational and Krautophobic just because they've tried to conquer Europe three times in a century, ongoing to this day.
The latest one is the most insidious, although their demographic gambit has rather backfired on them. Instead of a healthy young workforce of doctors and engineers to support their ageing population, they've got the same swarm of 65 - 85 IQ moochers and muggers as the rest of us. It'll be interesting to see how they offload or weaponise that lot, although we may not like their final solution if it involves visas and one way tickets to Treasure Island.
On a reluctantly serious note, I'd lump Brexiteers into:
Retirees who will never against trust the Hun and the Frog, with good reason.
Workers who have seen their jobs and wages threatened by migrants.
Rational phobics, i.e. anyone who has bothered to find out how the EU actually works.
Irrational phobics. All racialists did vote for Brexit.
Remoaners, I can't really fathom them, but they seem to include:
Yoofs and stuuudents whose optimism far exceeds their life experience, or the challenge of having to keep a roof over their heads (£85 to have mine sorted this morning).
Those who don't work for a living, or who have safe public sector jobs, have no idea who actually pays for their existence, and who therefore believe that they're all right, Jack.
Mumsnet progressives from the suburbs and Ruralshire to whom Diversity is still a welcome novelty, look at that lovely Nadiya from Bake Off, and who haven't experienced the scowling, insular, hostile, jabbering urban ghettoised variety yet.
Ideological globalists other than the above, i.e. those who have no excuse for not knowing better.
If I had to pick one word for each camp, I'd go with "makers" being for Brexit, and "takers" being for Remoan. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
