Finally, to the English, your politicians and your law enforcement deserve nothing less than cruelty for how they act.
No apologies.
The EU, and all the members have a responsibility first and foremost to their constituents, and their constituents are getting thrown in jails, for no fault of their own, just the vindictiveness of the Brits. There is no flame war, I am literally asking for our Governments to take action.
By flamewar I mean things like indignant provocation and denunciatory rhetoric (especially on divisive topics). You made numerous such posts in this thread—that's really bad, regardless of how right you are or feel you are. It goes against what we're trying to achieve here (thoughtful, curious conversation on intellectually interesting topics) and it does so by doing the equivalent of setting the commons on fire.
If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules, we'd appreciate it. Note this one: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
From a quick look at your account history it seems that your comments have traditionally been excellent, so this should be pretty easy to fix.
What a truly vile statement, unworthy of HN.
Roughly half the English population (including myself) voted to remain. We are not gloating, but working hard to ensure cooperation with the EU continues.....
..... and no doubt, preparing for the next referendum to return to the EU in 10 years time (after all, a second independence referendum is now on the cards for Scotland, the precedent has been set).
I have a lot of gripe with the English for how they treat other people, perhaps if they get a taste of their own medicine they may snap back to reality and forget the greatness that was their empire (obviously /s).
As for vindication the people certainly deserve not what's coming and happening to them, the true villains sit in the news rooms pumping out racist and dividing shit calling itself "free media" but the truth is it's run by a bunch of oligarchs. Eat the rich and bring guillotines to these places so that the poor and brainwashed people who've been fed on a steady diet of divisive garbage and are the real victims in this sham won't get hurt. It's a really easy trolley problem this one. Sadly history shows that the trolley company is the one that tends to win.
A lot of us have spouses from EU countries and we watch in horror as people like Priti Patel turns the UK into her version of 1984.
Chances are very high that those brits that travel to the EU, who might get this vindictive treatment, are not the ones that voted for Brexit.
