(And if I was on the Leave campaign, I'd make sure I'd be telling everyone that we'd have to join the Euro because nobody on the other side can say "ssshhhh don't worry we will just find a way to avoid the adoption criteria" because the EU also speaks English :P)

The problem is that applying countries need to now *commit* to joining it. And that means in any referendum campaign the government will need to say they're committing to joining the Euro.

Be fun to see how "and commit to the euro" will go down. :p

(Admittedly on our end we need to turf out the Nazis and their EPP collaborators, but the UK can come back when it has learned to embrace international union and accept the responsibilities of being in one, not just because it misses the benefits.)

If the current "Rejoin" narrative is "so we can control immigration better" then the UK can fuck off tbh.

Oh yeah is anybody else at that age where something is wrong, and a good set of blood results frustrates you rather than relieves you?

After weeks of symptoms, blood tests, urine tests and an ultrasound that explained absolutely nothing about certain symptoms except to dwindle it down to treatable condition vs cancer, I am rather relieved a CT scan today showed it to be the first one. Never turn 40 kids. Not worth it.

I only sign into Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family and every time I do my feed is filled with far-right bile. Previously you'd have stuff catered to your own tastes. Now they throw stuff at you to get you riled and mad because that's where the 💵 is. And it is profoundly dangerous.

Der Ton ist gesetzt. Eine Koalition unter Führung der Linken müsste sich darauf einstellen, dass das die ganze Zeit so weitergeht. Ampelbashing lässt grüßen nur in gesteigert. Dabei geht es aber gar nicht per se um Die Linke, sondern eher darum Konservative für Bündnis mit AfD zu gewinnen.

My problem is that the last bit always comes last. And I have to be extremely generous to interpret this stuff as "thinking of the migrants first". The argument that rejoining the EU means we can keep more foreigners out is especially disingenuous. Sorry, but this is just all dog whistle to me.
