I believe so. I came off facebook about 3 weeks ago, mainly because of all the Corbyn mongs repeatedly posting the same shite over and over again, and I've not missed it at all. I have a twitter account but I've never used it.

Im only on facebook for family contact and anything remotely political be it posts or ads gets removed.

If you are going to use that word I would prefer you to fuck off to twitter to be fair, are you a 12 year old?
 
Austerity was a pile of shite sold to a public who don't understand public finances, though to be fair, I don't expect them too. This whole shite about comparing the nations finances to household finances, and how we need to 'tighten our belts' is a load of bollocks. A household can't suddenly decide "fuck it, I'm going to print some money". And it was only ever austerity for the working people of this country, the capital owning class have done very nicely thank you very much. The fact that people voted for it doesn't mean it was a good idea. As for brexit, that's even fucking stupider but at least it's going to happen now. Bit like my Corbyn supporting friends who will now finally get to shut the fuck up telling me I'm wrong about Corbyn and he'll come good, the same will be happening with the brexit crowd soon enough. On the bright side, if Brexit hadn't have happened, I'm afraid I'd have ended up punching someone for telling me I hated democracy which is another load of horseshit. I don't hate democracy, just people who think they know a lot but haven't made the effort to find out if their assumption on that matter is true or not.

*Note: that wasn't aimed at you, just a general fuck you to all i feel it should be flung at. Tired of people thinking they're experts on things because they've read a couple of articles they liked on facebook.

I disagree on austerity. You’re right about it not being like a household but we couldn’t continue with that level of deficit.

That’s fine, I’m frustrated too, this whole thing has cost us too much and has gone on for too long. Brexit will be bad but I don’t know how bad as of yet so we’ll wait and see.

But our debt is significantly more than it was a decade ago, essentially proving that austerity hasn't worked. As for brexit, of course we'll have to wait and see, but considering the calibre of the people currently in charge of its implementation it's pretty much a foregone conclusion. That said, I also came to the realisation a while ago that whilst I didn't want it to happen, it probably has to happen otherwise this 'will of the people' shite will hang over our heads forever. The people voted (just) in favour of it, so it's on us. Maybe in future we'll realise that direct democracy on issues as complex and technical as international trade is best left to our actual system of representative democracy.
 
The main problem I have is Cameron standing down after the result. The slippery twat should have oversaw the whole process.

Agree with this - he should have put Boris in charge and let him run with it, then put his deal back to the people in a 2nd ref. No brexit deal ever wins a 2nd ref.

You’re far too intelligent to have me explain deficit vs debt and the importance of the former.

With regards to Brexit, I’m a remainer, always have been and always will be, however following the election and how the last three years has played out, I’ve left remaining behind. My mindset is we’re going and it’s right that we do, considering the election results since.

I was on here defending the LibDems over revoke, saying anything who earns a majority has the democratic mandate to enforce whatever they campaigned on, especially their cornerstone policy. This policy will trump any referendum as we are a representative democracy.

The Tories campaigned on this Brexit deal and therefore they have that mandate and it is the will of the people.

I know you know this but what I’m trying to say is being frustrated about what’s happened isn’t going to help, look forward and try and be optimistic. Leaving the EU shouldn’t be a ridiculous thing to do, it should be natural for a country to want that independence but we must make a success, or damage limiting effort.
