If tomorrow the UK says: "Fuck, we screwed up, let's stay in the EU" then the EU will put all their resources behind making that happen. No barriers at all: 4 freedoms and hopefully Schengen, too.

Where do you get the idea that is the EU the one leaving the UK for racist reasons, thus wanting to erect barriers against workers from other countries?

Companies in the same industry tend to gravitate around each other so they can cluster talent, lobby governments and "build synergies" (sorry for the buzzword), among other reasons. The City of London is that kind of cluster.

or as in "if you manufacture abroad, let me compete with that with moving my talent somewhere else"

or as in "freedom to sell my labour anywhere in the EU"

or as in "you can bring factories to my poorer country, but I can move to your richer country and also benefit"

or as in "part of the 4 freedoms that actually balance each other - they're not a set of 4 freedoms because of identitarian reasons, they exist because they're practical and work well together"

I am a migrant working in the UK and it's quite offensive that you would suggest FoM only lowers wages (HINT: It doesn't, look up the LSE's study about it), suggesting I'm here because I'm cheaper.

What makes you think the UK can "win" anything in 10 years if it goes down the Brexit path? or 20 years for that matter, feel free to move the goal posts around. I'm curious.

I'm not losing any argument because you're hardly arguing. You're just closing your eyes to facts: Men are educated differently, hence they act differently. Our society is unfair to women and we keep educating our child with the same mistakes.

On the other hand, you're claiming women have "mood swings once per month", I'm guessing you're referring to their period. I can't even find the words to describe how despicable has been your attitude on this whole thread, but this deserves the Nobel prize of misogyny.

You keep trying to paint yourself as the victim, making it all not only disgusting, but pretty pathetic.

The term manspreading is not sexist because it is something you can fix with education, mainly because it's an educational flaw. We're brought up with the wrong values that put women at a disadvantage, yet you want to compare that to having the period.

And I would mention your upbringing when I feel like to, which is usually when you have shown enough proof of a flawed upbringing (which is common, starting with my own). I'm not sure why you think I shouldn't be allowed to mention it, when it's 100% relevant to you holding a specific opinion.

For the sake of public documentation, I'll argue:

It is confrontational because invading my personal space by using more than what's assigned to you is unnecessary and rude. Let me repeat something: I am a man and I also suffer from idiots spreading their legs like they've got balls the size of Jupiter. There's no physical nor biological reason for that, like not at all.

Women don't do it. I'm sure you can show me one example of a woman doing it, I can show you 2-3 men per bus trip, easily. It's a matter of education, how we have been educated. Men are educated to become alpha, to use their body to an advantage. Women are educated to be quiet and submissive.

It's not "feminine" to sit spreading your legs. It's very masculine to spread legs and arms, to show a bigger physical presence.

If you can't see why that's wrong then there's little hope for you. Even worse, if you think "feminist" means "against men" then I'm afraid you had a terrible upbringing.

You are surely kidding?

And in 30 years using public transportation in 2 different countries I call bs on the claim that assholes are equally represented among men and women. It might be a matter of education (women be quiet, men be loud and mainly), but 90% of the times there's issues these are caused by men. Usually in groups.

First of all: There's a law in France that prevents campaign and propaganda 48hrs before the vote. Similar laws exist in other countries (e.g. Spain, where it's 24hr).

Now back to the point: The planting of misleading information pushed the attackers to delay the publishing of the information so much that they fell under those 48hr previous to the vote and still dropped bogus data.

A measure of defense in depth saved Macron's bacon.

And this is the fucking US here, it's not a backwater country the size of a town. When the US sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold.

People are right to pressure others as long as it's done on legal terms.

"Too high price for a political goal" and "everything is a political goal" are not compatible.

So, tell me, what's your point really?

As per your claim on the NHS I'm not sure what are you trying to imply. Do you think the NHS or other similar systems choose to let people die based on economic reasons? Because that'll be a surprise. Disclosure: I live in the UK and grew up in Spain, where last night my grandmother passed at the age of 99 after A LOT of healthcare was poured into her (despite the fact she never had "a job"), of course paid by taxes.
