Brexit betting thread
 

I can’t stop watching this shitshow

My money was on the Brexiteers ruining the UK and crashing out without a deal but I feel a little uncertain now.

Surely they have a strategy for any contingency if they’ve taken it this far already, because why would they do it otherwise. But then if they were blinded by their overconfidence does that mean we’ll watch some of the most arrogant and entitled people to roam the earth have giant sloppy servings of humble pie rammed down their throats

Can’t turn away

what a fucking trainwreck

It’s like Trump becoming president. I’m morbidly curious about how horrible it’ll be. And I’m betting it’ll be a similar total catastrophe.

Relevant:

Poll: 51% of Northern Ireland voters back united Ireland, according to Lord Ashcroft survey

Apparently not. Incredible election result.

Putin Wins!

Surprise, surprise: Anglo-Saxons are dumb as fuck on both sides of the Atlantic.

Scotland isn't going to stay in the UK after this.

buh bye United Kingdom

I should start borrowing a tremendous amount of pounds this instant.

sad

fuck humanity, again and again, fuck it

now there is a higher chance of the UK becomeing a loose affiliation of like-minded countries. Scotland will likely have a referendum, there is a high chance of a split with the UK and joining the euro after another scottish referendum. An author prohesized a huge crash in 2025 (forgot the name) and the europeans returning to their national currencies. I kinda doubt that but ok...The Brexit is overhyped. There will be a customs agreement, I am sure. Will the UK suffer? For sure, but it's not the end of the world as we know it :) And we will feel fine.

at least we finally know the British are just as fucking stupid as Americans

We saved their asses in Dubya Dubya Two and this is how they squander it?!

They copy our popular culture, they're gonna copy our healthcare, they obviously copied our language… when will it end

G-d save the queen

here's for trump's second thing how do you call it trumps second amendment naked nudity porn pornography

like i said, its an anglo-saxon thing. they should just nuke themselves and do the world a favor. or move to mars.

We basically live in a dystopia

it appears to be a Boomer problem. same as ours

so we need to nuke a generation, not a geographical location?


interesting.

Wait, does Boris Johnson have the nuclear launch codes or does the Queen

Or do they have to turn the keys together

England only has a couple hundred nuclear warheads and most of them are powered by Bovril and nostalgia for life during The Blitz.

Answer the goddamn question. Who's got the football?

It's called the "nuclear soccer ball" in Britgland.

to activate the warheads the queen actually has to place the royal jewels into their corresponding receptacles on the british supercomputer while david cameron simultaneously puts his penis in a feral swine

Okay, I'm buying this

Word is the swine is located somewhere in Scotland and only a handful of people know its precise location.

I was reading about it and the British government's own fact sheet on nuclear deterrence has to state that they do have a few nukes, the country isn't just protected by the US, and they don't need the US's permission to launch their missiles

I'm pretty much against all military action/flexing but that's hilarious

We can use nukes if we want to!

mom says it's my turn to use the nukes

They've also pledged not to use them in a first strike, only in retaliation for a nuclear attack

During the Cold War the Russians built a system they call The Dead Hand whereby, during a confrontation, the entirety of their nuclear arsenal can be unleashed automatically toward predetermined targets even if no one is left alive to authorize it

You think the Brits have something that fucking cold? I don't…and that's why they will always lose

Its sort of like the nuclear version of The Stranger.

damn it feels good to be a slav!

Brits and Americans obviously vulnerable having allowed a doomsday gap to emerge. Lacklustre defence policy indeed

Announcement that a major cabinet reshuffle will be announced in February. Can Rees-Mogg survive?

Place bets now

probably gonna be prime minister
