Not even close. GB just doubled down on Bexit by re-electing Boris Johnson in a landslide. It's "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" for Brexit, one way or another.
I'm 99% certain NeedMoreTea was referring to the "Festival of Brexit" - not Brexit itself which is pretty much guaranteed to happen at this point due to recent electoral events.
Quite so. After our delightfully flawed FPTP election results, I can't conceive of Brexit not happening with the ERG majority of 60. Seems we may end up throwing the BBC and NHS out with that particular bathwater too.
Maybe (two peoples divided by a common language and all that), but why would the Festival cancel when May leaving just meant Boris was coming in. Same net effect unless I missed a subtlety.
The entire game is about a hidden US agency called Federal Bureau of Control, and their job is to investigate and hide from the general public any paranormal phenomena.
And this quote describes one of the many events from the in-game lore nearly perfectly, I wouldn't be surprised if the writers were inspired by some of it:
"Super-conductive copper ribbons were used during the dance because it was believed that their combination with 400,000 volts and expendable children opened a vortex to an alternate dimension where household items were always on sale and could be purchased for a fraction of the price. Items that were brought back through the vortex, however, risked corruption by dark forces, as witnessed on May 1st 1971 when Scarfolk was overrun by a vast horde of malevolent, sentient food blenders."
