    Can you read at all? I am ecstatic about their out-vote. I still can't believe we were this lucky. It's literally like a dream come true. And if you could read you would have known. I love to take the piss out of the chipper Brexitanian in here, but that's hardly me griping about them sodding off. And it's not just Randblade and his ilk I'm happy to see the backs of, it's also the remoaning lot that somehow think 'the Europeans' should have been more accomodating.
    Congratulations America

    I can read, as a matter of fact. You do an amazing amount of bitching for someone who always claims he's crowing about it. You may have wanted them gone but you didn't seem to like it happening by them rejecting being part of the EU anymore. Doesn't feed that ego the way you kicking THEM out would have, I expect.

    Let's try some facts for a change; june 23rd 2016 they voted to fuck off. A good 9 months later they still haven't reached for the door handle. What they have done is blabbering about what they want on the outside and how they will call the shots. And that's the side desperate to get out.

    Tonedeaf people like you though, with funny pre-conceptions of what i think about Brexit, fail to see that where at one point I may have extreme in my desire to see them gone, today am positively main stream when I say it's time for them to sod off.

    When we laugh at them that's because that's what one is prone to do when the pompous start talking utter nonsense.

    There are no preconceptions here, you've been vocal for years. It is true that you're more mainstream now, but that isn't from you changing in the slightest. Rather it's from everyone else acting like the Brits actually voting to leave was like them collectively pissing in your cereal. Such a strong undercurrent of "how dare they," in all of your guys' posts now.

    And none of it would be related with the utterly ludicrous ideas about the future relations as expressed in the opinions of leading politicians in the UK of course. You're seriously a joke in your faux non-taking sides role. I don't quite know what makes you such a bum buddy with the Brexitanians, but it could be that your media never looked beyond London when trying to report from Europe.

    And what do those matter except how they'll ensure you'll get what you want?

    I'm taking a side on here. Against the massive hostility directed at the Brits for daring to vote Leave. I don't have a dog in the fight which is why the sudden turn toward massive vitriol by almost every non-Brit on here has been so shocking. You I expect (it's completely irrational considering your stated desires, but that's not unusual for you) Khend sure. Aimless was a surprise. Loki and the US left-leaners here were a surprise. I was expecting reactions closer to Tim's.

    Because you fail to see it as part of a broader trend of anti-expertise, anti-globalist nativism that's been embroiling the Western world, and to which Brexit provided renewed vigor. The problem was less the vote itself (dumb, but tolerable) than the tactics used by the Leave supporters, tactics that would be put to good use by the Trump and Cruz camps here, and now being adopted in Italy, the Netherlands, and much of East/Central Europe. Brexit was the nativist version of the Tunisian uprising.
    Hope is the denial of reality
