torture

Ultimately you can't stop big tech or foreign nation influencing your stuff

better deterent

The government was giving out pro remain leaflets, how is that fair to the referendum vote?

Just focus on domestic on what you have power over

Deeeeeaaaaaalllll weez

I’m not sure how “big tech” was backing one side or the other tbh.

yes u can samaritan; they are called tariffs

To what extent does everyone think the EU itself tried to influence that vote

I mean it makes sense they would try since its about them

@Samaritan - England could easily push for their own tech industry.

As an American, our tech industry really needs to get BTFO'd on the global stage. If that means India, England, France, etc, all get their own tech industries leaving America in the dust, that is a price I'm willing to pay.

well that was why brexit was naive

I didn’t see any particular side being pushed to me personally during the vote and lead up to.

EU is just mad the UK won't be paying alimony anymore

In America I remember brexit was for right wing white nationalist, same with trump, same with le pen

you can't play poker if the minute cards are dealt everyone knows your hand

@Arthur Grayborn Yeah I agree with that but idk how to get that to happen

the EU knew the divison in the UK and used it

"White Nationalist"

"Too many Polish people are entering our country!"

Clearly the Poles aren't white. Unless they're American.

The Yanks need to break them up.

this isn't the 19th century anymore

Finally someone who doesn’t speak shit.

you can't expect to negotiate trade dells when people know your hand is weak

Problem with them being broken up is

Arthur is a good lad.

Why would they willingly give up their monopoly

When I'm not having a Megamind moment, at least.

They wouldn’t.. Hence the government intervention.

Unless you’re talking about America?

Well we get what you meant now back then @Arthur Grayborn

Why would any self respecting Englishman tie himself to the frogs and autists?

Through unified international pressure.

We're all living in Amerika.. Amerika.. ist Wunderbar

Who's the autists, Germany?

Yes

The kind the EU could provide.

England could easily run a government investment program.

Top 500 computer science and engineering graduates get funding to start their own tech company, and the government will actively help promote it just to break England free from the influence of San Francisco.

After five years the government sells its shares in the company, regardless of current market conditions.

German society is built by autists for autists

EU is like Fourth Reich (lite)

My point is we can't sit here and say we want to support our own tech industries over foreign ones while also asking the US to break out their own industries in the interest of foreign nations against their own interests

What's boris's big tech push, batteries? Or was it solar cells?
