Just one more useless fucking fence sitting post to do with the EU vote. I'm sure you'd rather gouge your own eyes out rather than read another one of these but I'm feeling kind of disgusted by everybody in this argument.
I've heard some of my favourite speakers and writers come out with the most childish whining about this. Let's not kid ourselves that only one side has been acting like complete tossers because let's face it; both sides have and they always do when these things pop up. It happened in the Scottish Independence Ref and it's happened now. Just one of the many reasons I wanted to punch my screen out the moment I saw Alex Salmond's stupid fucking face appear again along with rumours of "Indyref2". Because that's all I wanted. My country once again at war with itself. Maybe this time we'll regress back to throwing spears and impaling our enemies heads on pikes.
Voting leave was never going solve the immigration problem. Yeah we'd have the freedom to tighten our borders a bit more but who the hell said that we even would? Our government is filled with Eton wankers and fox hunters who'd suck off a corporate CEO before you could say welfare cuts and you think they're going to cut off a supply of people who'll work for tuppence and dust? I'm not anti-immigration, and neither am I completely deluded that allowing large amounts of economic migrants using the situation in the Middle East as an excuse to gain refugee status isn't going to cause some kind of massive cultural rift, but voting leave nor remain was never going to help that.
But let's not leave out what the EU is planning after all this. They're well poised to make a fucking example of us, which kind of says a lot when you think about it. Far be it from me to use a spousal abuse analogy here but I think it works, don't you?
Meanwhile my own generation is making remarks about banning the elderly from voting, because that's how you make a great society; discrimination and general fascism. Tell you what; maybe if most of you actually went outside and voted then you wouldn't be moaning on Facebook about "muh footure". Ah who am I kidding? Of course you would. That's what you're good at. It's what I'm doing right now at 4 in the fucking morning.
More attacks on democracy, from the Lib Dems of all people, whose plan is now to try and push our way back into EU like a battered spouse who realises the pain and abuse is all they know and that the outside world is scary (there's that analogy again) just because 48% of the country is in a sulk. Well shit! We took a vote and it didn't go our way! Time to veto it and render the whole process pointless! Fucking hell, at least when the current government went to bomb Syria they didn't even bother to insult us by putting it to a public vote. They just went ahead and did it. Apparently if the Lib Dems were in power they'd have us vote on it and then when it came back a majority "NO" they'd go ahead and bomb anyway because the minority were a bit sad it didn't go their way.
And really? Are people actually surprised that Nigel Farage, a man who probably lives in an African river and mauls baby zebras for sustenance in his spare time, lied about something? What you thought he wanted to help the NHS? Good god man! How many times have you been sold the Eiffel Tower? Farage is part of that charming group who would like to follow the American model of having thousands of us die every year due to lack of health insurance and privatise the health service. And you thought he wanted to put 350 mil into the NHS? I'd tell you to shoot yourself but you'd probably miss and kill your dog.
I've said on many occasions, no matter what the result we have to work together to pull through it. But I'm starting to wonder whether we can.
Warren Ellis said in his recent newsletter that he actually had nothing hopeful to tell us at time. I think he's right. I certainly can't. Not now.
I need a fucking drink.
