Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

I quite like Michael O'Leary sometimes. Or maybe feel a grudging respect is closer to the mark.
In shock news another Brexiter reaches yet another new low level of intelligence.
Are they supposed to pick up all people sailing in the channel and take them to Rwanda?
Permitting foreign ships to abduct people in British waters is what Brexit was really about.
Yes. After they've kidnapped them then they set sail to the nearest Rwandan port.
If you are Rwanda you accept and pick up english looking fishermen.
Why are you focusing on technicalities?
We've had some insane propositions from the Brexiters over the past six or seven years but this is near the top.

It is the most insane because it's based snatching people without even have a clue about their identity. The concept is amusing but the fact that a former MEP proposed it is a bit frightening.
I'd love to see his proposed route to take them 'straight to Rwanda'.
It is even more frightening when you look at some of the responses of the tweet. Brexiters and other idiots seem to think it's a good idea.
Here's a response from Habib

One tiny, trifling detail - Rwanda is landlocked. Bit hard to go straight there via a ship.

I’m replying to the Alliance MLA who was daft enough to like your idiotic tweet.
Being land locked does not prevent a country operating or owning ships. Neither does it prevent them taking their cargo back to their country.

Disgusting that you choose to refer to human beings as ‘cargo’ Ben. While you’re at it you should also change ‘illegal migrants’ to ‘people seeking asylum in the U.K.’ it’s more accurate and less dehumanising that the term you used.
Australia does this. We either push the boats back to another country or take people to Christmas Island then onto offshore detention in places like PNG and Nauru. I believe you got this horrendous idea from us. Every single person arriving by boat is treated as an illegal (not a refugee) and even if later assessed as a refugee they will virtually never make it to Australia and in some cases stays in offshore detention for many many years. The idea is to make trying to get to Australia as a refugee worse than going elsewhere or staying where you are and being persecuted to discourage arrivals.
We all want to be in control of our borders but there has to be a better middle ground than shipping everyone off to indefinite offshore detention in third world gulags (sorry PNG but that is in effect what they are).

I keep forgetting that Australia does that.

Pretty comprehensive statement on the damage Brexit has done to the UK.
Shame it will get little media coverage due to other events.

Still recall Sunderland being first to report they had voted for Brexit. What were people in the North East thinking?
Topical given the RMT's open support for Brexit.
Yeah sounds like a great plan I'm sure the land locked country of Rwanda have a fleet of ships they can send up.
This project fear is really getting out of hand, if everyone just stopped moaning about petty things things like being able to pay their rent, electricity or buy food and be positive about Brexit then I'm sure it would be a roaring success.
Imagine Nelson flagging Victory with another country's colours. The Royal Navy must be happy about this idea.
Great patriots these brexiteers.
Love the irony by the way. Made me smile.
That was the problem... they weren't thinking.
Just like people voting for trump, or boris, it represented a change from the norm which some of the working class areas were desperate for. Desperate people do desperate things… usually without thinking it through
They shouldn't be solely blamed. The vote was won by well-off older people living in the South.
Yeah, not blaming them particularly; just think people in those areas should have been more acutely aware of the impact of losing EU funding and access to EU markets.
It is easier to understand, even if it is not more palatable, why the older, more well-off folk down south did vote to leave.

Pretty sure that's one of the main reasons the Tory's want to get rid of it.
Rees-Mogg claims new online dashboard will help public nominate retained EU laws that could be scrapped
Jacob Rees-Mogg, the minister for Brexit opportunities, is making his Commons statement now.
He says Brexit was never an end in itself, but a means by which the UK could achieve great things.
He says the goverment wants the country to be the most sensibly regulated country in the world.
Lord Frost, his predecessor, launched a review into retained EU law, he says.
Rees-Mogg says not all Brexit freedoms can be grasped at once.
He says the public has great interest in what laws can be repealed. He says he is grateful to the readers of the Sun and Daily Express for the many suggestions they sent in.
The government is today launching a dashboard with details of more than 2,400 retained EU laws, covering more than 300 policy areas, he says.
He says the dashboard will keep a tally as retained laws are removed.
He says he is again inviting the public to share their ideas as to what EU retained laws should be retained, amended or repealed.
He describes his dashboard as “the supply side reformer’s El Dorado”.
And he also says it is good that the UK left the EU before it decided to mandate what sort of phone chargers firms should use. That is a typically short-sighted EU law that will reduce innovation, he claims.

You know you're in trouble when readers of the Sun and the Express start deciding the laws of the UK.
I'd say so yeah.
The UK is imploding slowly isnt it.
What’s slow about it?
Once they get rid of the Human rights Bill we are back in the 1850's where nobody gave a shite if a kid died stuck up a chimney or starved to death on a street corner.
Back to 1706 when Scotland becomes independent
But Scotland wont be allowed to rebel once they reverse the common folks right to vote.
