There is a lot of "I voted Brexit and now admit my mistake" kind of sentiment going around at the moment. I saw a youtube video of a pensioner who basically drove around Europe in his caravan, staying 9 months a year in Spain who voted for Brexit. He was now saying what a mistake it was; but here's the rub.. The twat was not sorry for the damage that he had caused to the economy or the youth of the UK. All he was concerned about was the effect that it was having on him; the selfish prick! Upset that his caravan needed to be sold as he could only travel 90 days out of 180 and so it had doubled his living costs and how he and his friends vans were now worth a fraction of what they were as no-one wants them due to the restrictions.
Fuck him and fuck the others like him. Self pitying selfish pricks who are reaping what they sewed.
My heart bleeds for the youth and those that voted no to Brexit. The ones that vote leave deserve everything they get and more! Fuck 'em.
Rant over...
I left the UK in part due to Brexit. I'm a British citizen too.
I remember drinking with my friends and my Austrian friend said this to me: we will be fine, we are in tech, we may earn less but we will survive .. the ones that will hurt most are the idiots that voted for this.
I like his sentiment, but I wish it were that the ONLY people that would be hurt would be them. For absolutely nothing but a vague sense of nationalism.
