    Because it's been gloomy and dark out all day, and guess what, so have I!

    i've said in the past i'm not sure i want to be part of England if it withdraws from the EU

    but now it's actually something that might happen i don't know how to feel about that

    it's really easy to say stuff like that when it's about a distant prospect
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well, I tend to get more depressed in winter.

    I guess that's seasonal gloom disorder or whatever they call it

    Oh yeah definitely

    me too, though the summer heat also fucks with me depending on how depressed I am

    Newcastle and Orkney both voted remain

    Neither of these is surprising, and apparently it was by a narrower margin than expected in Newcastle, so that's worrying.

    Matilda Wormwood is bi because the actress who played her is bi

  • "Yeah I've got seasonal depression. Is it a season? Then I probably want to die!" *laugh track*
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    seasons in the abyss

    Sunderland has voted to leave, by a huge majority.  Clackmannanshire has voted remain, but that's to be expected.  All fairly predictable so far.

    Good, now we can get back to calling # a pound sign instead
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    why would you call the hash a pound, that's just silly. what if you needed a pound of hash.

    symmetry is important
  • why do people wanna leave the EU again??
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Again, I'm just waiting for the dominos to fall over here.

    If the UK leaves, Scotland leaves the UK; if Scotland leaves, the Tories' hold is compromised. I am oversimplifying here, but I do think that, in the long run, even a "leave" vote will not last very long.

    Question:  What is, "Brexit", and why do I have the feeling that people here are not fond of it, whatever it is?

    I woke up with that word in my head.

    The United Kingdom is holding a nationwide non-binding referendum on whether to stay or leave the European Union, hence "Brexit"
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Non-binding in this case meaning "might as well be binding because not following the results would cause actual riots".

    afaik racism

    And some other reasons, but primarily racism
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Jane said:

    why do people wanna leave the EU again??

    Racism, xenophobia, the misguided belief that we will get more money somehow, a mistrust of regulations on corporate practices, and concerns that the EU is inhumanitarian and primarily supports the interests of large corporations sometimes at the expense of the British public

    mostly racism though
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    The EU has significant problems, but they ain't problems you solve by letting the Tories do whatever they like.

    Ah, of course, the lich's curse.

    one thing's for sure, David Cameron is crying himself to sleep tonight no matter what happens
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    He made his bed and then decided to set fire to it for some reason.

    I always forget that "Tory" refers to the British Conservative Party, because it's in USA history textbooks as the term we used to refer to British sympathizers during the Revolutionary War
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    a co-worker said to me yesterday that the question boils down to, 'do you trust Europe?'

    to which i said, do you trust the government we have?

    but actually from what i've been hearing a big part of the 'leave' movement has really just been about trying to stick it to the government and the corporations, Labour, David Cameron, everybody.  This referendum has kinda become an outlet for people's resentment over a lot of distinct issues.

    If London ends up actually saving us it's going to be the biggest national embarrasment ever.

    if Scotland leaves, the Tories' hold is compromised

    to this: if Scotland were to leave the UK, they'd take a large chunk of the left with them

    i really am not sure how you can say with confidence that this would compromise the Tories' hold on the UK
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Stroud voted remain. Good chaps.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    GOOD

    i'm glad.  From the way people at work were talking about it i kinda expected Stroud to vote leave.
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Also one of the highest turnouts in the country, at 80%.

    Can't believe the pound is now worth less than the yen, the Zimbabwe dollar back when it was silly, and most conch shells
