hey guys! (yes i'm back-ish again)
Dammit, i note this has turned into the "rake over the Peaguy affair" thread . I was really curious about Brexit opinions.
However,many thanks to Benjaminbreeg for posting the Chomsky vid. I shall check that out. I'm pretty damned sure Chomsky's opiinion about itt will worth listening to, unlike most.
For the record, I voted Exit myself . There are some very rational ( mostly left wing) reasons for leaving the EU, but they got totally buried under all the emotive crap from both sides. Luckily I'm old enough, and near enough the bottom of the social heap, to have seen exactly what the EU has done for Britain.
Sample argument: we badly need to turn the tide re. the unending privatisation of our industry. EU won't let us. Neither will the Tories, come to that. But now we're out of the EU, there might be some point in electing a socialist government, at last. We might even find left wing acting as if they'tre left wing, . That would an eye-opener for all those under-fifty kids. They've been brought up to believe that socialists are just tories who wear red ties.
