People were given a binary choice to a people that had suffered years of austerity whilst in the EU. The only industry flourishing was food banks. 

 

An awful lot of the country wanted to give Cameron/Osborne/Junaker etc a bloody nose and that's exactly what those politicians  got. The get em out brigade did play a small part but 11 million people are not racist, they just thought fuck this let's roll the dice.

austerity only began in 2010?

That needs correcting to "A people who were gullible enough to blame the EU and then vote for the sole architects of austerity".

David Cameron strolled away whistling a happy tune, to a lucrative life of directorships and public speaking.

 

George Osborne walked straight into the highly-paid editorship of one of the country's highest circulation newspapers.

 

The rest of us got austerity on steds and racism unleashed, for six years and counting.

 

Hooray for the 51.9%!

This point still stands. The Tories, not the EU, were the architects of austerity in the UK and gullible cunts gave them free rein.

They were out. All PMs go on to earn pots of money. 

 

 

If theyd have won their is a possibility they'd still be here today, or if not the Tories would still be in rude health.

In what ways would life for working class people in the UK be worse today if Remain had won?

Impossible to say but if you take the six previos years of austerity as a template then who knows. Cameron and Osborne would have went into overdrive. The EU didn't give a fuck about the damage to our public services or our vulnerable. They agreed with it.

Austerity, like most economic and social policies, were entirely the responsibility of the Westminster Government; you might as well blame Eurovision or UEFA for austerity, because they had just as much influence on those decisions.

 

If Remain had won, there wouldn't have been any grounds for the chicken coup against Corbyn in 2016 (although the gobshites might have found some other excuse).  The next General Election would probably have been 2020, by which time the public would have been sick of Cameron and the Tories would not have had "Get Brexit Done" as an election-winning slogan.

 

We can't know what would have happened if Remain had won, but there are reasons to suspect that working class people would now be better off. I can't think of any reason to think we would have been worse off.

Loads of tweets popping up about empty fresh food shelves in supermarkets over the last week or so. Apparently our European neighbours aren't suffering from the same problem but I can't put my finger on the exact reason...

 

"Remoaners hiding fruit & veg! Rule Britannia! Get em out!"

I thought that on Saturday, there was loads of stuff missing in the veg and salad section.

The rationing of fruit and veg is obviously global headwinds (©️ BBC Propaganda News) and nothing to do with Brexit...

Apparently it's due to weather conditions across Spain and North Africa.  It even reported this on local radio news this morning for some reason. Pure propaganda imo, brexit can't be allowed to be the cause of any adversity, it's either covid, Putin and now the weather. Next they 'll blaming the horoscopes.
