I spent a long time not wanting to write about the EU vote. I wanted people to educate themselves as to why we needed to stay, but alas I woke up this morning to the news that we have left the EU.
It hurts because the people who voted for us to leave are the people its not really going to affect or people who have been lied to.
The moment we got the news on the exit, wanker Farage backtracked and denied that they said that £350 million could go to the NHS. The moment that it was called the pound suddenly fell. In under 24 hours, the country fucked its own currency.
The leave campaign was based on lies, fears and racism. We are not going to get our jobs back, we are not going to get our money back. Those immigrants you have been bitching about, didn’t choose to live in this shit hole of a country, they had to. They have been doing the jobs we don’t want to do.
We had maternity leave, sick leave, holiday pay and actual work laws to stop discrimination and unfair dismissal because of the EU. Those jobs you have been fighting for, no longer care about your health and well being. Hell they are probably going to be sold on overseas.
Violence towards people of colour and queer people have and will continue to rise. UK born POC have been assaulted and abused because right wing cunts think they shouldn’t be in their country. Guess what, white people are not the only people who have a right to be here.
I’ve already had to unfriend and block a few people who I considered as friends. Not because they voted to leave but the racist bullshit they spewed after “they won”. No one fucking won, the people who are happy about this are the people who fucked our country up in the first place.
Now Cameron has resigned (which is the only fucking plus to this) we are going to be stuck with Boris. That stupid idiot is going to be running what remains of this place. Scotland wants out, Northern Ireland will want out, and I don’t blame them. Boris couldn’t even run London let alone the rest of the UK.
Within the next few days and weeks we will finally find out how this is going to pan out for us, but until then stay safe people. This is going to be a bumpy ride.

So this week I was a total idiot, and totally didn’t have time to arrange an interview with someone. My brain has been over the place lately and I have failed to do the most basic of tasks, mainly communicate with the outside world. A good friend said that I should just do me, but get random people in groups to ask me questions. And that’s what exactly I have done. I would like to say thank you to P0j0 for having the group in the first place, and introducing me to some wonderful people. If you do not know him, I probably could list a few face book pages (links just below) he runs and you will know them. He also has a tumblr
*homos, heteros, and a whole lot more
*disappointing popsicle jokes
* the best of tumblr
* government secrets
* old school cartoons
* just another meme in the feed
Thank you to everyone who sent me a question, I don’t think I left out any of them. If you are one of those people who did help towards this post. Feel free to submit anything for future Friday posts. It can be a drawing, picture, poem, interview, anything. Fridays are always for guests.
These questions are entirely random. They may have no relevance to a lot of people, unless they know other people/ inside jokes/ situations. So I apologise in advance, this nay just seem like a whole bunch of muttering.
I don’t think there is anything that I need to content warn, but just in case, I do mention about coming out, views on the monarchy, an appreciation of a great beard, and I believe there is some swearing in this.
what’s the hardest choice you’ve ever had to make? Hardest thing you have ever done?
Honestly, finally coming out as trans for the second time. I tried once when I was 14 and was told that I might as well be a lesbian, because no one would ever cone near me. In all honestly, it didn’t help that at the time I was “confused” about my sexual identity also. Being bisexual just wasn’t a thing, you were either gay or straight. I quickly went back in the closet, because it was too much to handle.
I came out again 11 years later, and this time I didn’t back down. I lost a fair few things in my life, friends, a marriage, ect. But what I gained from it was a new life, a sense of being, I could finally be the person I had been trying to hide away from since as early as I could remember. Probably getting rid of my father was probably up there too. I mean initially I wanted to give him the chance to be in my life but he pissed it up the wall. No matter how much someone let’s you down, it still hurts. Once I cut him out of my life though, everything was so much better. I realised that I didn’t need him. I was better without him, and in all honestly my mum has been more of a father figure then he ever will.
If a rapper was to compose the soundtrack/score for what will be a great sequel to one of your favourite movies.
What rapper would it be, and for what movie sequel?
One of my favourite films is “Sid n Nancy” now, in order for this to work, we would have to erase the fact that it was a true story about the punk bassist of the sex pistols, who killed himself after killing his girlfriend. So he’s still alive. She’s still alive. Secondly, we would have to make a leap from 70s anarchist punk, to rap. Though both to share the same ideals, and same back stories. So I would probably have the sequel based pretty close to where it ended, and pick it up in the 80s. So for rappers, I would probably chose NWA, Run DMC, Public Enemy.
If you were chosen by The UK Dream Team ™ to create and present an argument for a nation to re-join our glorious empire, how would it go?
I wouldn’t, honestly we are at a state now where we shouldn’t add any more countries to us. In fact we should just admit that the whole empire is based entirely on slavery, and rather than the glorified “commonwealth” that its called. We should make appropriate action where countries could live independently without fear.
If The Queen released a speech detailing her plans to take back the empire, do you trust the UK Dream Team™ in fulfilling this promise?
I would hope that the dream team would let the queen sink under her own ship. There is no need to re create an empire.
What is your favoured political party?
Green, sorry but they are the closest in what I believe in.
Do you believe that we should continue having a monarchy?
Honestly no, there is no need for a family to be paraded around at tax payers expense. Yes the do some charity work, but the money used to keep them happy, could go straight back into communities that need it.
Do you prefer scones or biscuits with your tea?
Depends on the weather. Hot day, scones, with Jam, and cream.
Please describe in detail what you would do with Alfredo Ramos if you had him to yourself for an entire weekend.
Joe, why must you do this to me!!!
OK, so its been public knowledge since forever that I feel things for this man. His beard makes me tingle in ways, no other beard would. It depends where we were, cause if we were in america, we would probably road trip trying to find the perfect hot dog venue. Eat said hot dogs then probably sit and watch Netflix, chill and probably play mortal kombat.
However if Freddy was to come to the UK, him and I have plans that no one except Kai knows about. The trips already planned.
Tesco, ASDA, Morrison’s, Waitrose (HAHA) or Sainsbury’s?
Morrison’s, because they are actually pretty good, though I live right near a co-op and a tesco.
Please describe Texas from your British point of view.
Big hats, electric chairs, 70% desert. Has some guy called Joe living there. Backwards law system, terrible medical care, and the bush’s live there.
How do you say scones?
S-cone
If you could have any one thing in the world, but at the cost of your S/O’s life, what would it be?
Probably it would have to be a cure for cancer. Something on that level. If I can’t have any of my partners because of this choice, It would have to be something as big as that.
Would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most?
The one person I trust the most. Love is easier to gain back more than trust, and it takes me a very long time to trust someone.
If we have an eternity of non-existence before us, and an eternity of non-existence awaiting us, why do we exist?
How do we know we exist? For all we know we could be a part of someone’s story, or someone’s imagination. I don’t think there is ever a way to determine life itself. We are born, we pay taxes, we die. The three things that will happen to everyone. Anything else is a bonus.
Have you ever thought about me in a sexual manner?
No Joe, im sorry to bust your bubble, but you do not have the bearded goodness I require in a sexual fantasy. Also I heard you like Hondas and that’s a massive turn off.
Would you rather:
Nigel Farage,
or
Nichola Sturgeon.
NICHOLA !!!
****Next week should be back to normal. If you have anything you would like to submit for the FYIYT Fridays. Please give me a message 🙂 ****
