Europe has evaded classical market economy by importing more people who'd work for lower wages at the slightest hint of any labor shortage.

Pre-immigration such people would be called scabs.

Now that you have Brexit, raise the wages. That's why people voted for it in an unusual recognition of their self-interests.




If you fancy annoying people go to a UK subreddit and claim Brexit was about workers rights, workers compensation and was humanitarian issue to help those most in need.

Hilarious results will follow.


Only masochists go near that sub, it's pretty much the most miserable place on the entire internet.


Which one? UK, UKpol, and even AskUK all creep there on occasions.


UK

UKpol is not far off nowadays either, that one didn't used to be so terrible.

Never really read AskUK but I don't doubt it's similar. The only way forward is to keep it casual.


Not sure how /uk works, but /Canada is basically made up of people whose own metro/regional/provincial subreddits don’t have a critical mass, which basically makes it representative of low-population density areas in low-population density provinces.


/r/UK is mainly full of people who hate the county but are too young or unappealing to other countries to leave it.

Its a weird British-themed sob fest


What a googly of an observation.. I cant tell if this is trolling or not!
