I haven't been keeping up with the British election/fallout, we've got our own thing going on here in Canada. What happened?

Someone who isn't posh won leadership of a political party run by posh people.
So the posh people are freaking the gently caress out .

Genuinely loving seeing the new labour guys poo poo their pants as they puzzle over why Corbyn is so popular

"He wants to help the PEOPLE!?! Why should one want to do that?"

New Labour minus the Iraq war was good. Not only did Labour win 3 elections, but they instituted real positive change in the country,

I'm sorry mate, but they hosed the country over with PFI's.
Privatizing the NHS, schools, railways, and everything you can think of and hiding the costs of it for 20+ years of the PFI contracts.
Only positive changes Labour did was to their own private fortunes.

One Island One Government just makes sense IMO

In theory, maybe.

Im from NI, and from Catholic side so I should be in support of a united Ireland.
But its not going to work, without making the people in the north amd south poorer.

In reality the rest of the UK don't want us, we bring gently caress all apart from headaches.
And the south don't want us as theres a gently caress ton of money needed just to change it over. The unemployed that will be dumped on them, roads, education, laws, all need to be changed etc.

Some dumbasses think that putting an Irish flag up at Stormont, changing the road signs to half irish and forcing primary school kids to learn irish will solve everything.

You'd end up costing us a fortune because your economy is somehow worse than ours so we're perfectly happy to let you remain a part of the UK so that they can use their money to prop up the whole facade up there.

Yup.
Our economy is only worse because of the unionist led government had a great idea 70 or so years to 'starve' the west of the country. Where all the catholics are.
Little money for roads, most of the trains stripped out, phone and communication lines totally ancient, the west is nothing but sheep/cow farmers and the unemployed virtually.
And the brain drain is huge, 2/3rd of graduates never stay in NI. So the country is getting dumber too.
We are hosed, WW3 would probably be a benefit to us.

When you're rich this is the sort of thing you do for laughs.

I believe it is an old Bulingdon Club initiation hazing.
Young Cameron was such an oik back then, but once he put Percy into Porky, he became one of us!
