    I’m baffled by how you lump everyone into such a close vote as ‘getting what they wanted’, with an undertone suggesting you mean ‘getting what they deserved’.

    Most people can’t just up and leave their country; to do so would mean causing more damage to their lives than just sitting in the shit sandwich they’ve been served by the useful idiots that made this mess.

    Then there’s the whole issue with Russian interference that ‘probably happened’ according to MI5/6, but needed a full investigation which Alexander Boris de Pfelelfllellogram Johnson - likely being in Russian pockets already - obviously quashed.

      Can’t upvote this enough. I was in London before the vote, there was obviously a ton of people against it. This should have required at least a 2/3 majority.

        They should have required the non-binding referendum to actually be non-binding, especially considering how vague the question and answers were and how few people participated.

          It’s a long string of Tory failures that they enacted pretty much only so they could keep their hands on power.

          Cameron > made the referendum part of the 2015 manifesto to stop UKIP splitting the Tory vote.

          May > enacted Article 50 to stop the totally-not-UKIP/disaster capitalists from paralysing the party

          Johnson > made ‘oven ready shit biscuit Brexit’ part of the 2019 manifesto so he could whip his party of YesMen into doing whatever the fuck he liked.

          Makes me so so angry.
