Let me guess: ‘Hitler: Have the left pushed an unfair picture is this misunderstood leader as part of their undemocratic agenda?’
Theresa May is fucking terrible:
That’s an #unpopularonion all right
Such a thick of it quote: “I’m interested in all these terms that have been identified – hard Brexit, soft Brexit, black Brexit, white Brexit, grey Brexit – and actually what we should be looking for is a red, white and blue Brexit,”
@Sketches
is Julia Hartley-Brewer a real person? jfc…
French?
i never realised how awful she was until recently - not sure if i’d just never noticed before if she’s just really stepped it up. maybe she just liked all the attention after the Owen Jones row and decided to make a go of it.
American Brexit, stay away from meeeee etc
I ventured onto the DM site recently. It really is hellish. Every article about Brexit is full of people saying ‘we must leave now!’ and ‘they need us more than we need them’ and so on. It’s frightening. Every single indicator suggests at best (soft exit) we will be somewhat worse off and hard brexit means the country is fucked.
Do these people not know or not care? I think it’s a combination of ignorance and arrogance. I actually saw an article in a tabloid saying we don’t need the EU we can strike up deal with places like Peru. Pe-fucking-ru?!
Outrageous! No deals with countries containing the letters E or U! Brexit means brexit
A lot of people in this country think the British Empire was a jolly good idea all round. No surprise they have deluded ideas about our standing in the world.
Arron Banks mansplains Roman history to famous ancient history professor Mary Beard (the same one who got complaints a few years ago that as a 50+ woman she wasn’t hot enough to present her tv show), after he claimed the Roman Empire was “destroyed by immigration” and she told him he was talking out of his arse.
“Ukip donor Arron Banks has taken the bold step of challenging Cambridge University classicist Mary Beard on her knowledge of Roman history, citing his schoolboy studies and Russell Crowe Hollywood epic Gladiator as his sources.”
Tired of experts I guess.
Kinda understandable when we don’t teach colonialism and the empire to kids in schools (or on TV really) for what it was and that’s most people’s main understanding of history.
We can peddle asparagus to Peru
We can certainly send Paddington back there
People seem to assume we’ll forge deals along similar lines and of similar value to what we have now. It’s a very naïve assumption. Of course people like Australia and Peru and whoever will give us deals, but it doesn’t mean they’re going to be any good. That especially applies to negotiations with the EU. If we had a group of people who knew what they were doing, were well informed and understood the intricacies of EU trade deals, then I’d maybe have some optimism. But alas these people are the people on the opposite side. David Davis is currently fighting our corner over there and it wasn’t until a few months after the referendum he found out that EU countries can’t do individual trade deals with other EU countries. That is what we’re currently working with. Sigh.
If Brexit has taught me anything it’s that the cabinet look absolutely hapless at negotiations and the EU are going to make them look like absolute tools.
Haha wow, Buzzfeed picked out some even more embarassing comments from him:
Including: “I’m not a fancy academic like you but that’s what I remember from my history lesson ( when schools taught history )”
dont know if more annoyed about the mansplaining or the fact someone made a video of a twitter conversation AND made me watch an advert to see it
