"No cookie messages." Sorry guys, can confirm, you'll still get those even if you're not in the EU. What an extremely odd thing to be upset about.

I'm glad we stoked the fires of fascism and have people being murdered on the street for being immigrants and supporting immigrants so we could get back inefficient light bulbs.

Thanks for using a picture of a striking Junior doctor with the phrase 'End Working Time Directive', Telegraph. Comforting to know that one of the benefits of leaving will be working more 90 hour weeks.

Okay, so maybe less GMO restrictions will allow us to have better foods, but what exactly are paper licenses, blue passports, and no EU flags going to do? Were the flags going around smothering people? Also fewer chemical restrictions and better herbal remedies from the paper and government that supported banning anything that has an effect on the nervous system.  (Also thanks all.  )

Angepain posted:well herbal remedies don't have any effect on anything so Ma huang tea is good for clearing sinus blockage and tight chest, not because of the ancient Chinese magic of herbs, but because it contains a bunch of epedrine, pseudoephedrine, and norephedrine. Which seem to work better in the proportions provided in the plant, but that's likely a happy accident rather than nature being special. Similar seems to have been found for medical cannabis, which has found many of the medical suppliers switching to straight ethanolic extracts over synthetic Δ9-THC, at least until they're allowed to run bigger scale trials to figure out what's going on there. I'm guessing the Telegraph is more enthused to be able to sell credulous readers aqueous extract of Camellia sinensis with Saccharum officinarum juices for a 500% markup than anything scientifically interesting though.

I think we should give green passports a try, South Africa and Namibia have them. So do many Islamic countries so it gives the UKIPs something to over.They look very executive like those wood and green leather desks you used to get.

"Keep paper licences" with a picture of the counterpart? Who the gently caress wants that? I know my dad throws a fit every time I suggest replacing his old style paper licence because it's in at least 8 separate pieces, but that's because he resents the concept of paying for things (even though he'd only have to pay for a photocard twice before becoming exempt due to being over 70  )Also what's this blue passport thing?

Its where the colour of the passport is navy blue rather than burgundy. It's how they used to be. Also the paper driving license has already gone.

I like how folk get all dewy-eyed and nostalgic for something as irrelevant as the colour their passports (or neighbours) used to be, but not things like the post-war concensus or British industry or anything else that might help us reclaim real self-respect as a country.

Gonzo McFee posted:Can't wait for all the reports of house fires from these high power kettles going kersplode. There's literally no difference in fire or explosion hazard between the weediest sub-kilowatt travel kettle and a huge fuckoff tea urn that needs a 20A supply. Having a heating element in water is always a hazard, the power only changes the size of the fuckup, not the nature of it, and even a little one-cup boiler going bang in the same room as you is going to change your plans for the next couple of weeks. Now when we say to China "Hey guys we're willing to buy any old poo poo, no need to even forge the CE mark" and they start selling us baby electrocutors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIUJWIT9GrU with "BANNED IN THE EU!!!!" stickers to lure in the idiots, that's a different matter. Actually... yeah bring it on China. Sell us all of your most horrifying stuff and make sure you let everyone know that it's BRITANE STRONK TOO POWERFUL FOR BARMY BRUSSELS, let physics and Darwinism do it's thing, and we'll be a much less lovely country within a few years.

It's funny really because red is associated with Britain/England whereas blue is more normally associated with the USA and France (and republicanism in general).

Whoa Iv been watching the yank elections for the last few weeks and its 'orrible to come back and check out UK politics again. Even if trump wins they won't be as big a gently caress up as us. The PLP now seem to have decided along with much of the media the only sensible thing to do is leave the single market and blow our brains out over impotently trying to stop foreigns getting in. It's weird after seeing how dumb American politics is you turn your eye back home and our politics has chronic inbred brain damage.
