2. Brexit? Oh that little thing? Nah that was perfect .

   Pointing out what a stupid fucking idea it was and how hard it fucked us is just bullying!!

3. We got EXACTLY what we expected. By *WE* I mean everyone that ignored the endless lies being spouted by farage & johnson.

4. that is the wrong pic for that, it should be a pic of all thoses idiots that pushed brexit

5. We are still waiting for Brexit only problem is we don’t have any leaders with vision to make the opportunities happen, e.g look at Ireland and its low taxation environment.

6. I still can’t believe how we have to put up with this Brexit nonsense when it was proved that it was based on lies and lies and lies. This alone should make the referendum invalid.

   Labour is probably scared of Murdoch media and the possibility of losing Brexit voters as if they are going to vote for labour again..

7. It went exactly as I thought it would.

8. Sadly, we have a political system where success doesn’t depend on doing what most people want. But rather depends on doing what the people who are likely to flip/flop between you and your competition wants… and many of them happen to be the Brexit nutters :-(.

9. There was no good outcome. The media was just as guilty perpetuating BS about Brexit.

   How ever the failure was on the populous for our choice.

   I how ever never liked the idea of having a vote on the subject. When politicians are making decisions they get reports for industry specialists and think tanks to help them make the big decisions.

   What did we get? Newspapers estimating how much money was spent on toilet seats.

   It was never an honest discussion.

10. I was speaking to one of these people today, and they trot out the old line:

    had the EU been willing to [allow british to have freedom of movement in the EU but deny FoM for the EU in the UK] and not been so agorant we would still be in the EU

    Instead, they chose to bully and abuse their position

    Didn’t seem to understand that the UK had, the rebate, Schengen exception, euro exception, the greatest deal any country ever had in the history of deals, and getting a better deal was almost impossible.

    When we vote to rejoin, by 52% to 48% it will be the will of the people to join the euro and the Schengen.

11. According to today’s Daily Express it’s been a great success and will only get better. We just need to believe in it harder.

12. Brexit. The perfect example of why referendums are a stupid idea. Voters should get to choose the pilots, they shouldn’t be allowed to fly the plane.

13. Not going well for Germany. Their economy is in the shitter trying to prop the eu up without us

14. We got a bajillion Doctors and Engineers with our points based immigration system…

15. We pretty much got everything Remainers said we would get if the country voted Leave

16. What an embarrassing country we are

17. Johnson should be taken to responsibility for this.

18. Farage’s new lie is that there will be ten million immigrants into the UK.

19. Not made the best of it, but we do still hold the ability to do so.

    And even with the economic mess we are in, EU is no better or even worse. Bad decisions all around that our and their politicians just double down on. Germany has had 3 years of recession for instance.

    We all die without cheap energy.
