Don't know if UK specific stuff should go here or also in the EU thread. Something happening at a Manchester concert, explosion or something, few details right now.

We should have a referendum to know if the UK should remain in the EU thread, go to the Non-EU (Russia and Australia included) thread or stay in the Brexit thread.

I expect the write-in campaign for the Terrible Jokes thread to emerge victorious.

Well there are a few angles one could go for this a good one is that the terrorist attack does play into exactly the sort of rhetoric surrounding Brexit and affirms the Leave side.

Yet personally my reason is that this attack is going to be used as the impetus for changes that follow. I guess I might be, being a bit premature, but I don't think it is an outlandish assumption.

That and this is a pretty big tragedy. I think it deserves some attention, even if it was slightly on topic.

Edit: PLUS this topic has sort of become an informal UK topic.

Should I change the name? The UK doesn't have a thread since it isn't part of the EU.

The EU thread is only the EU thread as a joke title, it was formerly the Europe thread. Iirc correctly it was back when a Europe thread got locked because the Ukraine war that we split off that discussion into it's own threads, and after a bunch of locks and new threads we eventually evolved them both into eu- and non-eu-threads.

If anything I'd prefer we merged them all back together now that the non-eu threads aren't being closed every other week. I prefer my politics threads to cover a lot of space.

I also can't believe your irresponsible failure to mention the DPRK Thread's place as counterfeit EuroPol for like two weeks after EuroPol crashed.

I'm pretty sure that the DPRK is still being used as the Europol thread, just currently operating under armistice conditions.
