@xs4me2 pw;dr

Slightly surprised that this is the Torygraph!!

If they criticise one part of Putin's project, Trump, how long until they criticise another part of Putin's same project, #brexshit ?

Or are they just hoping and expecting that their readership aren't bright enough to make the connection?

@uk A #brexshit benefit! We get to keep all our good British stuff rather than letting those nasty forrins have it!

@moldova Eh? But Britain didn't sanction the pro-Russian groups who interfered in the #brexshit referendum? Why pick and choose like this?

@Sustainable2050 Like economists and journalists assumed that some people cared about the economics of #brexshit

Putin's 17.4m #brexshitters didn't give a shit about economics, they voted to fuck up the lives of people they hated.

Isn't it the same with Putin's Trump's voters? Immigrants and "woke", rather than immigrants and Europeans, but same difference really.

@wood5y It hasn't failed. It has succeeded in its objective as set by Putin - fucking up the USA. Just like #brexshit.

@Judeet99 We still maintain the #brexshit cupboard. Which came in very useful for the first few weeks of lockdown until we could get a supermarket grocery delivery. (The only fresh veg we had in the garden at that time of year was stinging nettles, so stinging nettle soup was made.)

@Geri Since #brexshit my savings have gone into a euro-based tracker. Have to check that later today but at a guess (or perhaps "hope") it hasn't done as badly as some others.

@artemis I went on a jolly to Japan - a bunch of British local government people doing a tour of various Japanese local governments.

We started off being very polite, not raising any "interesting" topics, not giving any "interesting" answers.

But towards the end of the trip we'd become more honest. So when the population decline question came up - they raised it, not us - we felt able to say "ah, we've got a solution for that, immigration" (this was before #brexshit ).

Dead silence all round followed by a change of subject.

@Palky55 @ChrisMayLA6 @BylineTimes Oh, they did. An editorial during the 2017 general election campaign recommended their readers to vote for a party which had "getting #brexshit done" in its manifesto.

@Palky55 @ChrisMayLA6 The Guardian hardly helped themselves when they chose to support #brexshit. That's when I decided that they'd never again have any of my money.

@sjwrenlewis But we've already decided that our neighbours are wrong about everything, that's what #brexshit was about.

@marchforrejoin.bsky.social Yeahbut as #brexshit was a Putin project the "cost of Putin" *includes* the cost of #brexshit and is therefore *greater* than the cost of #brexshit, which is a wholly contained subset of the cost of Putin.

@marchforrejoin.bsky.social "Brexit hurt our economy more than COVID and PUTIN combined"

Um ... no.

#brexshit was, after all, a Putin project.

@MaryAustinBooks Yeah, we did that with #brexshit. Went on all the demos, millions of people, great fun, made fuck all difference.

@mc Sounds like yet another #brexshit benefit. Sorry about that.

@brenttoderian.bsky.social As we've been saying in the UK since the #brexshit vote:

"Sometimes, just sometimes, you get exactly what you voted for. It is, to be sure, only a small risk, but it *is* a risk."

@BremainInSpain Yet another #brexshit win! We're keeping all our good stuff instead of letting those nasty forrins have it!

@Snowshadow What, in an attempt to avoid paying import tariffs on them?

(Before #brexshit I was used to the idea that you could take whatever food you liked across borders. Until I visited Oz, that is, and discovered roadblocks that confiscated food that you tried to take from one part of Queensland to another.)

@georgetakei And just like #brexshit, he'll blame it on non-believers "talking the economy down".
