Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Honestly, IMO Britain needs to just let go of this 'special relationship' nonsense with the US that we seem to think we have. It only applies when the US wants us to join in one of their wars, or hassle Europe about something which we can't even do properly anymore since we left the EU. Otherwise the US really doesn't give two shits about what we're doing.
We're a European country, not an American state. We should act as such and move closer to being part of Europe, instead of trying to suck up to an isolationist powder-keg on the other side of the world. (Which I'm assuming will be the case once the MAGAs are in charge.)
The world needs to just shun him and his appointees. I wish the world leaders would just completely divest themselves from the US involvement. Just let us stew in it all.
Europe is DEEPLY dependent on the US though. That would be suicide and economic ruin.
Time to ween. It is going to hurt, but we need to grow apart if we are unwilling to act with any maturity and forethought. It’ll hurt the US as well. There need to be consequences.
I couldn’t agree more. But the pace of disconnection is obviously the variable here.
bwahahaha....
not when the UK is begging the US to save them in a war, it's when the US wants to JOIN the UK in one of their wars.... pffft... .goddamn..... that is the funniest, dumbest shit I've read in ages.
