A decade on, the economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating. Here's what the figures say.

      why is there no concerted pushback against the propaganda?

      Excellent, keep going. Almost there!

          The people who own the TV content are pushing the propaganda. That’s why.

              There’s the social media angle, which theoretically would be individuals creating content not owned by billionaires.

              That’s where Cambridge Analytica comes in to close the gap. If there’s another avenue (besides local face-to-face meetings) we’d love to hear it.

      The people you want to tell say “Brexit wasn’t done properly”.

      The same people, probably, that say Corbyn would have ruined the economy, and when pushed say “well it’s obvious isn’t it”.

      Are you saying they should have stayed with EU?

      Genuine question, asking to understand.

          Ah, ok. What’s the propaganda though? Are there people actually saying UK should be separate from the EU?

              How does separating from the EU help business men pilfer the UK? Is it because they aren’t held responsible by EU standards anymore?

              I wonder what’s up with Russia and it’s propaganda. I keep hearing this often, is it really that pervasive?

                This chap was the leader of Reform, Nigel ‘Mr Brexit’ Farage’s party, in Wales and wasn’t careful enough to cover the source of his ‘encouragement’ to repeat pro-Russian talking points. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c891403eddet

                That they tried to get a foothold here via this useful idiot is very worrying. He got off lightly with that prison sentence; treason used to carry the death penalty and taking foreign money to fluff another state while also claiming to represent the constituents who voted for you is easily read as treasonous. I’d like to think those constituents are a little more informed now but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see his replacement voted in at the next election.

      Is the propaganda about this still there? Or just not a topic anymore in general?

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
