    Express: We want Brexit!

    Also Express: No, not like that!

      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 Minimum distance* from the UK to Ireland is 1.3km (about .85 miles) between Magilligan point and Greencastle, so are they proposing to annex Donegal as part of Brexit now?
      Because Donegal is in the EU and the EU is less of a fan than you'd think of people annexing its territory.

      *Minimum distance by sea, obviously. Minimum distance by land is zero.

        @cstross Yay! Let's breach Article 38 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and jam the channel, what could possibly go wrong?

              @cstross Ah, I see. The real problem with Brexit was that they didn't Brexit hard enough.

              BREXIT HARDER

              @isaackuo NB: "withdraw from the ECHR" is a dog-whistle for "we want to reintroduce hanging and torture dissidents".

                      @markdennehy @cstross you think these people give a suffering fig for Nordie Land?

                      It didn't enter their calculations and machinations in 2016, it "robbed" them of their Glorious Sunlit Uplands in 2020, it is an irritation to them, nothing more.

                            @raymaccarthy @FediThing Yes, although adopting it is mandatory for EU membership: the Brexiters are somehow convinced that they want rid of it (despite it initially being called for by their object of veneration Winston Churchill.)

                              @cstross Ah yes, it's “The reason why Brexit didn't work is because it wasn't REAL Brexit." It's the right-wing version of the continually-moving-the-goalposts logic that has a certain class of tankie telling you that the reason the Soviet Union wasn't paradise on Earth is because it wasn't REAL Communism (that part at least is true, but …)

                              I assume the Real Brexiteers won't be happy until the British Empire is restored. Or not even then, because of course it won't be the REAL British Empire …

                                  @cstross I don't think that will cut it. I think true Brexit will be achieved when the UK bans all exchanges of any kind with the EU: trade, people, communication, including sectioning Internet cables.

                                          They're trapped by a politics of negativity. They don't want to build, nourish, invest, research, create. It's all ban this, cancel that, withdraw from any kind of cooperation, stop the boats, cut taxes, cut regulations. They're full of ideas to stop doing things or go back to an imagined past, haven't got the most rudimentary idea of a positive thing to start doing or a way to move forwards.

                                          Also they're super racist and creepy around women and children.
