Well, for one that article is from 2001. I checked his wikipedia, no update on his appeal to the HR courts, so I assume it just fizzled.

Thank you.

So criticism of the EU is against the law and has been since 2001?

Conservatives won in a landslide last night in the UK, so apparently that's going to mean Brexit finally happens.

Boris Johnson is their Trump, so as you can imagine this is not popular among the left side of the political spectrum.

Has England exploded yet?

My prediction continues to be "everything is gonna be fine," and shit will drop out of the news cycle when things are, actually, fine.

We're in the transition period, which apparently means "nothing has changed"
The United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union (EU) on 31 January 2020. A transition period is now in place until 31 December 2020. During this period the UK must comply with all EU rules and laws. Virtually nothing will change for businesses or for the public. There will be changes after the transition period, whether or not an agreement is reached on the new relationship between the UK and the EU.
Come back in a year, I guess.

Lots of people are saying it's the Muslim immigrants doing these things. Is the race of these gangs mentioned in the article?

I don't recall, but it's a white kid in the picture.

Race never gets mentioned unless they're the victim or the perpetrator is white.

That was a big part of brexit, at least according to common perception. Tons of Syrian immigrants being shipped in, and bringing their back assward culture with them.

"UK's Trump" resigns, but stays on until replacement named.

I legit do not understand the English political system. It seems to be an absolute mess and worse than ours, which is saying something.

Yeah, the whole "call elections when you want" system and all that is really weird.

Not even remotely shocking. Very similar to things here.

What we should do is create some entity that we could send money to annually and/or when we buy things. Then they could take that money and manage public things like that.

If only something like that existed.
