Why is she a Brexit candidate anyway? Surely any Communist would want to take over large Governmental bodies that cover a number of countries.

RCP / Living Marxism / Spiked have never really had any ideology. They are just contrarians for the purpose of getting attention.

Fair enough @Wij. I'd not followed whole thread. Agree (though @Gwadien doesn't, unless that form of disgusting speech isn't on the list he thinks should be criminalised).

Yep - part of the point of not criminalising speech is that people are free to ensure they're hoisted on their own petard.

Been wanting to use that turn of phrase for a while :)

Posting on social media after Friday’s milkshake throwing incident, Mark Meechan, who was fined £800 last year for breaches of the Communications Act after teaching a dog to give a Nazi salute, said: “Anyone that comes at me with a milkshake will need the straw to eat their meals for the next few months.”


Is that a threat of violence?
Hmmm carefully crafted to loophole out.

Where does it suggest communism?

It suggests a European wide minimum wage, which would suit you, because it would mean that people wouldn't have to travel across the EU for work.

Transferring of cheap labour is for the rich.
Cetain people sell it to themselves as middle class aspirations of bettering themselves by being all European and trendy.
The vast majority of it is poor people.
Highly trained people can travel the world..you dont need an EU pass.

Whut.

Voting for a banker who tells you he's for the people is for the rich.

Can't wait to be the first country in history to reduce their minimum wage ;)

I hate my country so much that I have to bring up an entirely different measurement to try and pull it down.

GDP is an "entirely different measurement"?

Funny that you want the guy who sunk your 5th largest economy bullshit to kill himself :)

We are the 5th biggest economy.
If you want include a collection of countries as being bigger, then the world is the biggest economy.

Yes but its utterly meaningless. A "fact" with no value.

I see the marketing gurus and the focus groups have come up with a new word for that stupid peoples vote.

Now its the confirmatory vote.
They might pull it off, but all they are doing is confirming to the people watching all over Europe is that democracy has no place in the EU.

We'll just propoganda the fuck out of the result and ask again.

You’re missing the point. There’s three main regulatory frameworks in the world. The world won’t acquiesce to a 4th that is tiny in comparison.

Lol..except when others overtake us.
Then the remainers are all over it.

Yeeeesss....that would be because going from 4th to 5th has context, but even then it only has value as a statement if you say why.

"We're the 5th largest economy" on its own, does not have any worthwhile context.

As the productivity and intellectual capital advantages of the West level out with the rest of the world, then scale becomes the only real differentiator of economic power*. Saying "we're 5th" (or tenth or twentieth) doesn't mean much when first to fourth own 90% of everything. It's like being second to Amazon, you can make a nice living for a while but eventually everyone's gone to Amazon anyway.

(*yes there will still be affluent small countries who have a niche because of some specialism like commodities, desirable property or tax, but Britain isn't one of those countries, we're the M&S of the global economy; valuable to us but small fry and easily substituted to everyone else).
