Wasn’t it what the big lie was to get Brexit done, that the government was only going to grant visas to foreign workers if they were going to earn at least £75,000 a year, bragging that they would only be importing high end skilled workers.
UK already had these workers they need now from EU member countries, but kicked them out with Brexit!
What a bunch of lying cunts.
Many fuckers in the UK fell for it too, just like they are falling for all the propaganda on Ukraine now.
Right now I can't be assed to go over the same ole Brexit arguments. The fact is it was a national referendum and the vote was to leave. There was then a 4 year period where those who disagreed fought tooth-and-nail to overturn the decision. True "democrats" to a man.
Again - I haven't looked it up (Lordo never does though!
) but don't think anybody got "kicked out". There was a system where EU people who were living and working here could continue to do so. The idea seemed to be ending the previous situation, where anybody and his family from the EU had the absolute right to just turn up. Nevertheless, it's a complex argument.
As far as "
falling for all the propaganda on Ukraine goes". That's condescending.
There's always and will always be propaganda from every side in a war. All we can do is to try and make as much sense as possible to discern the wheat from the chaff.
Team Russia shout down anything they dislike that comes from the Western MSM. Although, they're not averse to using stuff which suits the approved agenda. Lordo's perhaps the perfect example. He links to BBC articles almost daily, in order to support his view. When there's one which doesn't fit it becomes the "British Bullshit Corporation". Here on Earth that's referred to as H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y.
The Western MSM though has brought down Presidents and PMs, sent members of parliament to prison for abuses. You can find many examples of how investigative journalism in the West has brought about significant and important changes. So - sorry - no. The idea that a simple "The corrupt/criminal Western MSM" in some way sweeps aside absolutely everything that comes out of it (except as previously mentioned - where it fits an agenda) is really just a way of conveniently avoiding having to confront those issues.
In fact, I would argue that the opposite is more usually the case. Team Russia will accept absolutely anything, unquestioningly, that comes from that direction. Another thread though I think.
Russian media I'm sure will be generally acknowledged for what it is - totally state controlled. Independent media - in my experience - needs careful evaluation. If it's a site with an overwhelming bias then it clearly tends to be anything but.
I'm peeing into wind I know but do the "cunts" and "fuckers" really add anything to points being made?
