The most depressing thing about this is how humiliating it is for the U.K. This country stood in two world wars. Our Grandparents and great grandparents were the generations that fought shoulder to shoulder against fascism and to ensure our independence.
Now look at us willing to sell off our social health care and our standards so willingly in the name of lining people's pockets. People think it's patriotic. It's not, It's idiotic.
When we're out of the E.U we're intent on forming trade deals with countries like China, y'know... that country currently engaging in a literal genocide, complete with death camps. Did our parents not learn about Auschwitz? Where the fuck is the outrage? Since when did we become so morally bankrupt that we'd sell ourselves out like this.
It's like Britain has finally been defeated, not by its enemies but by its own morally bankrupt politicians. Fuck.

I came to London some 5 years ago as an immigrant to live and work. I can say that I've testified a dramatic change first hand to what brexit did to this country an society. Yesterday I've witnessed another xenophobic attack and aggression in a rush hour train, british guy to a spanish couple. Nobody stood up to him.
I wasn't involved but I felt the fear of racial discrimination for the first time and that somehow all other british nationals present were on his side just by being quiet.

To be fair, the Tories have been killing off the poor and disabled. 140000 deaths so far from austerity.

Yes, but think of the chlorinated chickens!
Progress is the new poultry-prophylactic, an edible disinfectant - who needs healthcare?
