    Eh those idiots would just keep pushing Brexit as a distraction, at least when the UK rejoins the EU, if they ever do, they’ll have gotten the Brexit out of their system.

      I do hope it’s a “when”, cause it should be alarmingly clear to everyone who isn’t a rich arsehole that being in the EU was to our collective benefit…

      Having said that, if it took crippling our economy for people to learn that lesson, then we’re fucked on everything else steadily coming our way (i.e. climate change)

        It’s baffling to me that the UK was able to keep their currency and all kinds of other benefits that virtually no other member states had yet they still threw a tantrum and left. Imagine being able to partially dictate your city’s tax codes/laws without having to pay into the pot as much as anyone else while also able to ignore many rules you don’t like. One could almost describe their relationship with the EU as borderline extractory, yet they still weren’t satisfied. Now if they rejoin, they probably won’t get half of the benefits they had previously.
