Brian Eno and Johnny Marr urge UK citizens to vote against Brexit

From Uncut:

Quote:

Brian Eno is among a number of musicians to urge British citizens to vote to remain in the European Union at Thursday's referendum.

Posting on his Facebook page, Eno wrote, "I have a lot of misgivings about the way the EU is run, but they don't make me want to ditch the whole idea. I feel the EU is one of the only restraints on the kind of neo-liberal market fundamentalism that has seen inequality rising throughout the world. I feel that it has been a net force for good in promoting enlightened social and environmental agendas. It could and should be doing a better job at all these things, but to do any job at all it needs our support."

He added: "The only good outcome of this referendum is that it might remind us what the original mission of the EU was, and might motivate us to actually make it happen."

Meanwhile, Johnny Marr has spoken out about the tactics of the Leave campaign, comparing UKIP's "breaking point" poster to Nazi propaganda.

One dire consequence they could warn people about: if you vote to leave the EU, we will do a joint album and tour together.

To fans of Eno and/or Marr: This was a joke on my part. You know, joke. J-O-K-E.

The results are trickling in. You gotta love the names of some of these places: Clackmannanshire votes to remain!

FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Racists and morons have destroyed the future.

Gotta love David Byrne, telling it like it is, bicycling through Midtown and whatnot.

I'm hoping that this will show to the rest of the world just how unimportant the UK is. I mean, they still have a QUEEN for fucksakes and so little influence regarding anything anymore. The sun has truly set on the English empire now, roll up the rugs, put a fork in the bangers and squeak, it's all over now

I had a lot to say on this when I saw this thread at work this morning but I ended up instead drowning the sorrow and wrote some songs on it and now I can't remember what I thought. It's bed innit? *bad. But not as bad as we know it. The main points I remember are: do not agree with Farage I mean anything the right are happy with must be wrong, right? There are some +'s (lolz) to this though just look at Sweden (or is it fucking Norway? it's norway - same fucking place). They ain't so bad are they? Switzerland!! still own fucking time for cunts sake. Merkel is fucked, what's she gana do nuw she can't tell us how much our booze costs whilst riding us up the arbeit macht frei train depot the fucking mong.

I just blasted this oot the ghetto blaster seeing as it's like one of da best tunes evas and now the neighbours are pissed off but i don't think they have any right to be ...now. One's black and one is a cypriot. Am i now allowed to go and tell them to get the fuck out or what? lolz

If the majority of the UK voted for these racist degenerate FUCKS it sure as shit could happen in the US, where the whole political spectrum is much more askew to the right. And apparently you can't trust ANY fuckin' poll anymore, as people wuss out and don't say they're gonna vote for the UKIP or Drumpf.

NOW I'm scared.

Yes Minister — Why Britain Joined the European Union (do you know the name of the show by any chance? is it yes minister?)

Rich, self-interested, liberal, pious EU luvvies patronise ordinary, hard working people with their arrogant, hard left, propagandist bullshit and the people respond with fuck off! Brilliant.

It was a victory for democracy. Clearly the users with a copy of the Guardian( The Morning Star for the middle classes) shoved up their ass would rather we lived in an oligarchy or dictatorship. The EU is the fourth Reich in all but name.

On Wednesday, an unsigned editorial in Sweden's largest daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter called referendums "problem-laden" and stated it was best to allow politicians decide instead of asking for people's opinions. "To appeal directly to voters is particularly problematic in this kind of constitutional issues concerning these fundamental rights and sovereignty," the newspaper wrote

The Queen stabilizes the whole sinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top. The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Ingloriously foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empire”

While you're at it, Theresa May, why don't you make Nigella Lawson and Otis Ferry directors of PETA UK or something? Mother-FUCK!

Do the people who are continuously pitifully whining over the EU referendum result know the definition of democracy? So many assholes have protested over it and it's simply because they can't get over the appalling fact that others, namely the majority, disagree with them. They can't stand being beaten, they're that far up their own ass.

A better one: This is like making Marine LePen head of UNHCR.

John Kerry must be fucking FUMING at the prospect of having to deal with this assclown.

From The Washington Post. Boris on the Middle East:

Quote:

Johnson has controversially bucked the Western trend and praised Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for battling the Islamic State, no matter his parallel campaign of violence on Syria's civilian population. He also hailed the "ruthless clarity" of Russian President Vladimir Putin's support for the Assad regime. In 2006, he wrote an op-ed laying out the logic for giving Iran a nuclear bomb.

On Africa:

Quote:

In the past, Johnson has had to apologize for referring to Africans as "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles." He even once suggested Africa would be better off if it were still administered by the former colonial powers.

On Hillary:

Quote:

Foreign affairs commentator Ian Bremmer quipped that British-U.S. ties with Johnson as foreign secretary will go from the "special relationship" to the "special needs relationship." That's because the loud-mouthed former mayor has said some unsavory things about American leaders.

In a 2007 Daily Telegraph column that he wrote about Hillary Clinton's first presidential election bid, he described the potential future American leader this way: "She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital." He then went on to suggest that Americans should vote for Clinton, if only to bring her husband back to the White House.

"If Bill can deal with Hillary, he can surely deal with any global crisis," Johnson wrote.

On Obama:

Quote:

The new foreign secretary was also recently accused of racism after writing another column critical of President Obama. The president had waded into the debate over Britain's place in Europe, urging British voters to choose to remain in the European Union

This angered Johnson, who wrote an op-ed in the right-wing Sun tabloid that piled into Obama, while fixating on the president's supposed contempt for Winston Churchill. (Obama has insisted that he has great respect for the late British prime minister.)

Johnson claimed the "part-Kenyan president" harbored an "ancestral dislike of the British empire — of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender."

Maggie May (surely I can't be the first one to call her that considering the past 36 hours or so) has to be out of her fucking mind — first day in office and she chooses THIS GUY to be her FOREIGN MINISTER? Jolly good this shit's gonna be.
