    While I do loves me a good great meme reference, please remember that a lot of people voted against it - there are a bunch of innocents that got wrapped up along with all of this, as well as the perpetrators and the collaborators too ofc.

        Similar to here when our own conservative-party, orange-haired wacko-clown won… at least you can hold your own head high, having fought against it:-).

        I remember waking up after the referendum and being really sad, the UK was an ally to us Danes on most EU-issues, and it felt a little bit like a breakup. I still haven’t really forgiven you lot, to be honest, which is silly but true.

        And then it got worse as the goal posts kept changing as to what “Brexit” meant. To the point where a no deal went from being something remain were lampooned for saying could happen to being apparently what people wanted.

      That’s all true, I was being a bit smug about it. It’s a great tragedy that has already negatively affected many lives on both sides of the channel.

      That said, the temptation to turn the words of obnoxious Top Gear guy against brexiteers was just too large to resist.
