Remainers' bittersweet revenge is watching these wazzocks destroy eachother. Doesn't make up for the damage, but it is funny to watch.
-
On the bright side, the UK is setting an excellent example to other EU members exactly why you shouldn’t leave
-
They are in power for 14 years, can’t blame anyone now
-
Brexiteer Tories promised a fantasy they could never properly deliver. Brexit meant different things to different people and that why it was so attractive to people. But that’s also why it was doomed from the start.
-
Brexit didn't break the Conservative Party. The Conservative Party broke itself.
-
Cameron's plan was to take votes from UKIP - not put the issue of europe to bed. Then he walked.
-
2016 onwards has just been an absolute shitshow, weaponised incompetence and gaslighting. All the talk about being back at square one, I would love to be back at square one as we're currently at square -15

Imagine the Tory party saying "it was a grave mistake and we apologise"😂😂😂😂😂
-
The sad thing is that theres still lots of people out there that still belive that brexit "couldve worked" its the ultimate example of refusing to believe you were wrong.

Breaks-It Means Breaks-It

The fact that I have to spend over 3 pounds to buy 10 bloody eggs in most supermarkets
-
Apparently at 56 I'm no longer a younger voter :) but not only did we vote to remain, we moved, to Europe, and have not regretted it one second.
-
The tories have broken Britain not just brexit!
-
They are not victims of the chaos, they are the architects of it. Most of it, anyway.

I know this is out of place but I had an irish friend who once called England "Eastern Ireland"

One of the stupidest things Rishi Sunak's government did is remind everyone that the Tories have been in power for the last 14 years. During the Johnson era, the rhetoric pushed by the party was we have only been in power since 2019, how are we meant to fix things (completely de-aligning themselves with the last 2 Tory governments under Cameron, and the half term under May.) The first thing Rishi's people did after their Local Election decimation was to remind everyone how this was anti-incumbent emotion because "we have been in government for 13 years.". Not supporting the Tories, but this so funny for me to see.

It was one of my better predictions; that Brexit would eat 3-4 governments alive. It was both incoherent and just too much for a government to swallow.
-
Brexit only passed by the thinnest majority, not by a landslide. So it was unwise for Brexiteers to treat it as an overwhelming mandate. Also, they pitched Brexit as a solution to the U.K.'s economic problems, which it wasn't. Those problems still needed to be addressed, even without the E.U. Sovereignty merely means that your problems become entirely your own to fix.

halfway across the river, the frog felt a sting in his back "but now we shall both drown!" cried the frog, a dreadful numbness spreading through him "lol", whispered the scorpion, as the waters closed above them. "lol, lmao"

Brexit is the gift that keeps on giving.
