He literally compared the UK to a fascist state, and you're attacking me for calling him out on it?

Godwins law, the bottom has been reached, abandon ship everyone.

Now that someone has enacted Godwin and stated that the UK is becoming fascist, it's probably time to close this topic. The bottom has been reached.

It's easy and simplistic to blame individual "nutjobs" or "the media" for brexit happening. As if the huge numbers of brexit-voters were simple folk who got bamboozled. Far more di…

I say this trying to be measured: you are NEVER going to get a reasonable discussion about Brexit on HackerNews, despite all the excellent qualities of this website. The vast major…

A quick anecdote: interviewers HATE when you criticise previous employers. You complain at length about previous employers in your post, instead of talking about what you learned/e…

"I'll give you mock 30 minute interview (I've hired countless engineers, designers, PMs and other roles in the last 20+ years)" This is an incredibly generous offer and I hope it g…

Fortunately most institutions of the EU are not as absurdly extremist as you are.

Advertisers on Reddit are small boutique businesses. Fortune 500 type companies won't touch them.
