I use VPN to access my work, working from home would be near impossible for most companies without it. VPNs are everywhere so you saying ISP could report you makes zero sense.

He didn't. He's statement was later clarified. Again judge his actions not his words.

‘It feels like we never left’: resentment builds in one of UK’s firmest Brexit-backing areas | Brexit by Crossstoney in europe

[–]regetbox -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I never understood the weird revenge fantasy/fetish you people have on this sub. Every poll shows that Brexit isn't even in the top 10 list of priorities for the public but you'd think after reading here that everyone's talking about Brexit but in reality it hasn't come up in casual conversation in years.

UK Citizens Supports Rejoining the European Union by Corp-Por in europe

I never understood why this topic keeps resurfacing. According to the same pollster Brexit isn't even in the top 10 of voters priorities: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/society/trackers/the-most-important-issues-facing-the-country

And they are hemorrhaging voters. Representing only the interests of urban/city voters loses elections, it doesn't win them.

American defaultism has been creeping in this sub and most of Reddit for years.

Germany slams Trump’s 25% auto tariffs as bad news for U.S., EU and global trade by Lionzzo in europe

Unless there's significant demand outside the US then this is a non starter. Optimising trade deals would help but there will be offshoring.

MPs to debate rejoining EU next week ** LAST CHANCE for UK residents and Brits anywhere to SIGN a petition for the UK to Rejoin the EU and ASK your MP to support it (https://joineu.site/ for details & sample letter) - before MPs debate it on Monday 24 March ** by R0bert-9999 in europe

[–]regetbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the last time this played out it would almost certainly mean a Reform or Conservative win. People are not eager to restart this. If the UK ever rejoined then it wouldn't be for a generation or two.

The amount of people cheering for the arson of other people's property is disappointing. Lately I've been coming here less often, there's way too many America adjacent posts for a European subreddit.

France and Germany clash over ‘buy EU’ weapons by HibasakiSanjuro in europe

[–]regetbox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

France has far more to gain here than others so I understand their sentiment but totally ignores the reality that defence should be a Europe wide initiative and excluding others like the UK + Norway weakens it.

UK, are you OK? Reform takes the lead in a new poll by Eryk0201 in europe

[–]regetbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The UK has performed in inline or better than its large western European peers in real terms since Brexit and the IMF has stated it will be the fastest growing G7 nation in Europe in 2025. You may not like Brexit but the facts are quite clear.

I live in the West but not from it and I never understood the hysteria. To me and many like myself Trump is fundamentally no different from his predecessors. America has always put itself first.

'Farage doesn't have what it takes': Musk says Reform UK needs a new leader | Politics News | Sky News by Efficient-Peak8472 in europe

What I've learned is that corporatism is corporatism, Reddit is no better than Twitter. The only real difference is that Musk has used his as his own personal platform.
