> I predict that the anti-political movement is going to take off and pick up steam in the intellectual circles.

Only in anti-intellectual circles could an anti-political movement take off. Anyone with even a shred of intellect understands how important politics is for everyday life and that being anti-political means "I will have to accept what others decide for me without any recourse."

Politics may be an uncomfortable topic, but it's still a very important one.



I've just received an email asking me for more for a work permit application to work in the netherlands in a few months. More cost, more expense, less agility.

This is a direct result of retired people voting to leave the UK.

Politics matters, and votes have consequences. Sadly with many votes, the consequences are disproportionately felt by the ones that lose the vote.


Oh no you have to fill in a form! You must lead a pretty nice life if that's a major concern of yours.

Sorry if I come across as an a-hole, but seeing what's been happening in the world in the last year you'd think people would become a little more resilient.


Imagine if someone in New Jersey had to apply for permission to work in New York
