    @cstross @FediThing but instead they’d have British rights, at the sufferance of whatever British Bill of Rights parliament saw fit to pass. Which would be inherently superior to the current arrangement because it has British in the name, obviously

      Today's headlines in the Daily Express!

      The "Give Us a Proper Brexit" crusade calls for leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), slashing red tape for businesses and enforcing a 12-mile exclusion zone around the UK for British vessels only.

      Brexit is a utopian revolutionary project, and like all URPs it can never be achieved! Juche Britannia! Consign Earth to the Dustbin of History! The People Struggle for Brexit! &c.

      Revolutions are *hungry*.

      @cstross Was that only British flagged vessels within 12 miles? Because that would be rather problematic for things like international trade, ferries....

        @rogerb @angusm @cstross I remember that situation being part of a novel setup. Can’t remember the title, I think it was a late A.C. Clarke work. The UK governor used the title of ‘prime minister’ though.

          @cstross
          It won't be a "proper" Brexit until they kick out all those damn immigrant Normans. And maybe the Angles and Saxons too.

                @petealexharris @Remittancegirl @angusm @cstross Quoting Sergio Caneva, writing in 1973, describing Italian Fascism in his book documenting the history of partisans in the Veneto (my translation).

                “Fascism was neither an idea nor a doctrine, it was just a big cloud of soot created to defend the interest of the land owners and industrialists ... with the abuse of the word ‘fatherland’.”

                History rhyming and all that.

                Yep: "Fascism is the continuation of capitalism by undemocratic means".

                  @winden @cstross And they took us down in the Republic of Ireland with them. I’m still not over it.

                      @bruce @angusm @cstross well can we at least tie people we don’t like across cannons and fire them? Land of hope and gory.

                      Shooting human limbs out of cannons would do a lot of damage to enemy sails.

                      Just something to think about.
