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.

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

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.

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.

I strongly recommend his excellent book How Music Works.

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.

The Real McCoy 06.28.2016 12:51 AM

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.
