To smoke a fag in British English means a very very different thing to in American English.

11·2 years agoProblem with that is FPTP. The UK like the USA is pretty much a two part system. Both of the main parties stuck with the will of the people narrative.
2017 they voted Theresa May to do Brexit
Only just, and against Jeremy fucking Corbyn.
People voted Boris Johnson in 2019 to “get Brexit done”.
At that point I think people just wanted it over with. Even remainers as the political paralysis was in and if itself starting to cause problems.

1·2 years agoExactly. Thank you.
It’s no wonder Leave were so aggressive with shouting down calls for a second referendum after they won It’s no wonder also that they made such a thing out of the will of the people. They knew full well that their margin was razor thin.
They knew as well that this razor thin margin was heavily weighted towards older people and that as each month passed (even if people couldn’t already see that Brexit was a shit show) that the majority was getting eaten away as younger people turned 18 and older people passed away.

31·2 years agoNo. 48.11% of us knew that. 51.89% were sold a lie.
Well, actually, probably a few of that 51% knew that. But a lot of thought (because much of the leave campaign literally said so) that we could leave and have some kind of EEA agreement.

2·2 years agoI don’t know how you got that from what I said.
A lot of what has happened in Brexit was what remain said would happen but were told during the campaign that what they were saying was “project fear”

106·2 years agoLeave won by a margin of 3.78%. There was also very little talk of leaving the single market. In fact much of the talk that there was of that came from the Remain campaign and was shouted down as project fear.

Every supermarket has this in the UK. Has for years.
But I gotta get my quid back.
Pretty sure it could be considered fly tipping.
England: oh I’m a lion
Scotland: motherfuck unicorn man
Wales: rawww dragon time
Ireland: umm rabbit?
WW2 was won with British Intelligence, American steel and Russian blood.

That’s the trap the restaurant uses to get out of giving 10% off.
