"There ie no way they are going to call it Britain First. That would be suicidal before it even begins" I'm sure Britain First would be delighted though. Having a whole festival named after them | |||

I’m sure the organisers will get over that disappointment "Okay I was making a joke about Britain First. The far right racist organisation. What I'm interested in, is are they going to call is something decisive, like one of your suggestions, "brexit festival" etc. I'm guessing it will be labelled something like "Festival Of Great Britain". | |||

According to the Times he’s chairman of the design museum which has applied to be shortlisted to take part. Apparently pretty much every arts organisation in the country has applied, despite pretty much all the boards and chairs voting remain. | |||

Do you see this as a festival to "stick it to remainers", and to tell hose who question brexit to fuck off. Or is it an attempt to unite Britain? | |||

"Interesting bit from the Guardian article, Brexit bonus time: “There is obviously a big narrative going on around healing and coming together,” he said. “There is no doubt that money has been made available because this country is exiting the European Union, there is no getting away from that”" Amazing. But I'm interested in what you think, this is your thread. | |||

I am just asking what you think the purpose of the festival is/should be, and if that should be reflected in the name. You've suggested devisive names. So it seems like a reasonable question to ask on a thread that you started. | |||

"A festival to celebrate British creativity & innovation and all I can see is Remainers taking the piss. No wonder the UK is so fucking divided. Get a grip all of you and let's start trying to work together to make it better. No some people just cannot move on.
It’s not a question of moving on .. The country has shown its split , its has shown its divide .. I don’t want a cup of tea and a pat on the back and a let’s all be friends again cheery handshake ..
Rees Mogg and a handful of people won. The rest of us lost. Get over it.
A handful i thought the majority voted to leave didnt they?
What's that way people voted got to do with it?
A few people at the top got richer. The rest of us lost out. Get over it.The way that the freeloaders in brussels have performed on the vaccine roll out has fully justified my reason for wanting to leave and has only confirmed my belief i was right so im a winner.
Me get over it its you who needs to move on now and start backing your country instead of sulking for the rest of your life."So now complying without question is "backing the country" and dissent is "sulking for the rest of your life". Good hustle. | |||

" Are we talking about the Empire that was built by invading other countries violently for most and oppressing them whilst pretending educating them and helping them as people were told at school at the time and afterwards? Is that the empire that you keep raving about? I’m going to stop feeding you after this, as the purpose of this thread like every single thread you create is to scratch your opponents’ itch. Nothing else. What a sad person you are revelling in some of your compatriots’ sadness and disappointment of leaving the EU. So sad to see this country so divided because of Brexit. Continental countries have all got their own problems but I’d be surprised if any of them had the same hatred opposing two camps. From what I know from my travels in Europe, people over there live their life, get up in the morning, go to work and get on with their business without even thinking of the EU every day. It’s just part and parcel of their lives. Of course they have a debate before presidential or general elections about the EU but that’s all. They’re not obsessed by it in the way we are/ were. But hey, we had to find a scapegoat to blame for our own shitshows. Enough for me on this thread. See you on another one of your topics. Let’s guess: how british guinea fowl surpasses the EU guinea fowl; sceptic tanks smell so much better in Yorkshire since we left the EU etc...  | |||

"And loads of former remainers, like Mandelson, Rudd, organisations like the Tate, have all swung behind it. It’s going to be a great celebration: https://www.festival2022.uk/news How come the dropped the word "brexit" from the festival title? If you read the link and the info, you will see they haven’t chosen the exact title yet, will be something like Festival of the New British Empire Britain First Independent Britannia Etc " Britain First??

"There is call for it to be cancelled, £120M is a lot to waste... https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/festival-of-brexit-petition-launched-to-try-and-cancel-sick-event/26/01/" £120 mil is fuck all compared to what's been wasted on brexit so far.
