38, as of yesterday. Hm.

Reblog if you’re 30 or older

This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!

We're a funny lot

I follow many potters on instagram. This was not what i expected.

[doodlevic-blog]

Don't forget the fact we'll be a laughing stock if Boris The Assclown, Nigel The Utter Fascist Wanker or basically any of the "hot-tips" get leadership.... I literally want to puke at the thought of what the future holds for us.

for people who don’t live in britain right now

on thursday we had a referendum, which is like x factor but with ramifications 

it did not go well

51.9% of people voted to leave the european union

so now we are leaving the eu

the “leave” campaign promised we’d have more money to spend on the nhs and less immigration if we left the eu

a few hours after they won they said this won’t happen

they also said they have no plan

like, on live tv

they said this

no one has a plan

the value of the pound crashed

our prime minister resigned

the conservative party, who are in power, are now wondering who should be in charge

at the moment it’s looking like a walking wig or a woman who views human rights as a minor inconvenience will be running the country by september

the labour party, who are in opposition, are arguing about who should be in charge

their leader is jeremy corbyn. imagine a british bernie sanders who looks as if he’s wondering if he left the gas on. that is him. basically he was elected to run for labour leader as a joke and then he actually ended up winning it. now everyone is walking out on him

the lib dems say they will ignore brexit and keep britain in the eu

do you know who the lib dems are? no, no one does, they used to be a thing but now they have 8 mps

their mps can literally share a table at nandos

our chancellor of the exchequer gave a speech to try to calm the stock markets down

the stock markets calmed down for a bit

then it lost its chill and we lost our aaa credit rating

this is bad because economy things??? its complicated

oh yeah and we just got kicked out of the euros 

the euros is football, actual football, im looking at you america with your football that does not involve feet in a significant way

so we have effectively left europe twice in one week

scotland want to leave britain

ireland want to leave britain

and wimbledon started today

wimbledon, okay

normally, the big story

the only news story

at this time of the year

is wimbledon

and now

the country is falling apart

and the news does not know what to do

because it opens with “brexit is happening and we’re all freaking out” and ends with “british chances at wimbledon are looking good this year”

as if they’re forgetting

no one is running the country right now

carol i don’t care about the weather for wimbledon i care about THE ECONOMY

we are all confused and also the weather is awful

EVERYONE! READ THIS! THEN GET OFF YOUR ARSES AND VOTE!

DEAR YOUNG BRITISH PEOPLE

The EU referendum is on the 23rd JUNE and here’s some scary stats the BBC decided to throw at me this morning: 

“just over a third of 18- to 24-year-olds intend to or are certain to vote, compared with well over two thirds of the over-75s” mix that with “those under the age of 35 are roughly twice as likely to vote to stay in as those over the age of 55″

DO YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS HEADING? No? Then let me spell it out for you, Hamilton style:

We are outgunned Outmanned Outnumbered Outplanned

We are gonna get ourselves kicked out of the EU if you don’t get your arse down to the polling station and VOTE for us to stay on the 23rd June.

So, here I am, doing my best to convince you to VOTE STAY.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

I get it. You’re apathetic. Politics is boring/corrupt/pointless, all the parties are the same, we’re screwed anyway etc etc. I FEEL YOU. Mate, do I feel you. But THIS referendum has NOTHING to do with political parties or alliances, even the muppets running this country are split. THIS is about the SINGLE QUESTION of if you want us to stay, or want us to leave.

And if you don’t vote for us to stay, then the older generation will most likely vote for us to leave. 

SO WHY ARE WE HAVING A REFERENDUM?

The EU has been going pretty great considering it was all one giant experiment, and it’s been swimming along mostly A-OK for years, but then… the Tories got desperate. Last election, they promised a referendum to get some of the right-wing *cough*UKIP*cough* votes, so now, here we are, having a vote about the EU even though, WE HAVE NO FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THE EU.

BUT WHAT HAS THE EU EVER DONE FOR US?

Being a member of the EU means you can hop across borders as you please: you can study abroad, live abroad, and go on holiday abroad within the EU with much less hassle than if we were outside it. 

But they are also responsible for a bunch of welfare laws that we take for granted: 

👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀 good shit go౦ԁ sHit👌 thats ✔ some good👌👌shit right👌👌there👌👌👌 right✔there ✔✔if i do ƽaү so my self 💯 i say so 💯 thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) mMMMMᎷМ💯 👌👌 👌НO0ОଠOOOOOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌Good shit

But seriously here’s some other things that you might not have realised were thanks to the EU:

At the minute it’s a great symbiotic system where we have plenty of freedom but also, plenty of support. 

SO WHY DO PEOPLE WANNA BREXIT?

Because it sounds like a breakfast cereal and I’m guessing they’re hungry af. Admittedly, we have to pay a fee to be in the EU (but relatively, this is minimal) and it can also mean more “red tape”. But as far as I can tell these are all just very polite ways to say that the EU just have too much gosh darn ~power~ over us. URGH. First of all, this is not the British Empire, we’re allowed to have allies, and it’s a good thing that we have other nations keeping us in check. (And with the Tories destroying the country, you might find yourself hoping that the EU did have more power to keep us in check). Secondly, we’re already a special snowflake in the EU, and they grant us PLENTY of leeway, so it’s not as if they’ve got us by the tighty whiteys. 

The Leave campaign are scapegoating refugees as to why we need to leave the EU which would be hilarious if I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by white middle-class racist UKIP voters that are goddamn licking it up. (Cornwall. Don’t even.) They are using the recent “migrant crisis” to emphasise that as soon as someone becomes an EU member they can live anywhere in the EU, as in, all the EU countries that are nicer than we are and actually let people fleeing from their wartorn country stay, can therefore decide to move to the UK. But, yo, leaving the EU won’t stop immigration. And even more hilariously, our borders are actually more likely to be weaker if we leave the EU than stronger.

Putting aside the fact that apparently millions of people in our nation don’t give a fuck about refugees that are in part OUR GODDAMN FAULT and certainly if you’re a human being OUR GODDAMN CONCERN, the Leave campaign are apparently forgetting about OUR IMMIGRANTS. 

As in:

2.2m British nationals that, if we leave the EU, are suddenly dumped into muddy water. Oh yeah, Leave campaign, I really see you caring about them. 

I’ve honestly never seen such hypocrisy in my life. 

OH, AND IT’S ECONOMIC SUICIDE

The Leave campaign cannot produce a single independent study to show that economically we’d be better off leaving the EU.

jk it’s because we’re NOT.

Our economy is now so tied to the EU that it would be a fucking MESS if we left. It’s 57% of our trade. It’s 1 in 10 of our jobs. It could take us a decade just to untangle ourselves. And, lord knows, we’d never win Eurovision again.

TO SUMMARISE

On JUNE 23RD please vote to REMAIN IN THE EU. If you do nothing, it’s likely we’re gonna be outvoted by hypocritical racist UKIP-wankers and get our country in an even worse financial state.

The reason I am here BEGGING my 12 followers and 200 spambots to VOTE TO STAY is because the last time there was a referendum, I was a naive little undergrad, and I thought “this option is so obviously better, everyone’s going to vote for it” and HAHAHAHAHA DID THAT NOT HAPPEN. You may think you don’t need to vote, but YOU DO. 

Governments are only as smart as the people informing them.

We need to give our idiotic government as close to an actual representation of our country’s opinion. That means we need to get our turnout percentage up to AT LEAST two-thirds like the over 75s so that the result of the referendum is an actual reflection of opinion.

That doesn’t happen if you don’t vote. 

So please, check you are registered to vote RIGHT NOW. And on June 23rd, VOTE TO STAY.

Britain

It only happens occasionally, but today I fucking love Britain....zipping up the M6 towards Warrington, looking out for my favourite landmark- the " VOTE PIES" bridge...to find someone has written a "D" on the end of " VOTE".... Then on the way home, the other side of the bridge reads " PIES AND MUSIC- IT IS YOUR TIME".

A new happy feeling

I've discovered a new type of feeling on here lately, one that I can't liken to owt else....when a fic you've been glued to is updated! Both fantastic and torturous in equal measure, cos you're at work when you get the notification and a) really not supposed to be reading said fic, but "working" ( 3 watercolours and numerous tracings to do- bah!), and b) the wifi signal is absolute shit and takes forever to load anyway, so when home time comes round you're so stressed that you could eat your own young. Maybe that's just me being a birrova freak. Dunno.
