I mean, these situations are not comparable, but back in the 1980's Yugoslavia was given the opportunity to join the EU if they remain one country which would have ensured them a more or less safe transition and keeping their borders as they were.
Of course, Yugoslavia opted for a huge economic crisis, several wars, more than 100k dead, over a million refugees (probably way more)and split into little countries that don't have that much to say in the world.
Sure, Britan won't have wars and killings because of this, but HOW can you dismiss something as safe as the EU with all its benefits and opt to destabilize the economy of a whole continent just because of some misguided national pride?
How? I am flabbergasted.

You are a disgusting, and judgemental person.
You know, majority of self-made millionaires out there never flaunt their wealth, and often dress up as the same people as you described, because they have nothing else to prove, and they are more sensible with money and rather invest their money on things that'll make money work for them, unlike you, who is probably some white twink indulged in consumerism and buying all these brand items to make yourself feel better and make you look well off.
Next time you see a "toothless" Briton, you should look up to them, and don't judge them by their clothing. You should be wondering what kind of businesses they run, often times they're going to be fish merchants, farmers, and people who run successful business, which have seen slow growths in the last twenty years because of the strict regulations imposed by the EU.
Fish merchants, can't take their businesses to the level, because EU is preventing them to fish in their own waters, farmers can use the lands to grow livelihood stocks. And this is what fueled their anger to vote leave, is because they are being metaphorically thrown out of their own land and country, and unable to use the resources that truly belong to them, to you, and to the British people.
I just don't understand why you 17-24 year old millennials don't get it. You blame it on the older generations, calling them racists, xenophobes, bigots. Shame on you. Give these people more respect.
These are the same people who fought wars, so you can roam freely with your twinkle toes on the streets, and not worry about Nazi regime, these are the same people who built Britain, these are the same people who have live throughout the worst economic outputs in periods of times, they have lived and seen what the EU has done to regress the quality of ordinary people. They know how good life was before the EU.
And this is why they voted Leave. They just know better, because they have experienced both the ups and downs of history.
Next time you see a toothless farmer who is barely understandable with that kind of accent, you should thank them for fighting for UK, for your rights, and for your future.
Gosh, you are so ungrateful about life. |
The elitism  Why are you acting like you know the country better than actual Brits. Aren't you Canadian?

Pretty sure the toothless Brits with an ugly tattoo on the upper part of their arm are NOT millionaires. They're heavy smokers, binge drinkers and milk the benefits system. Also living in a ****** council house with a freezer full of frozen Iceland own-brand chicken dippers for their 5 dirty children, all of whom with different fathers.
We have nothing to thank them for.

True as this may be for the large part, their opinion does still matter, same with old people, smart people, young ones, migrants, etc.

No idea why this is reported, it couldn't be more accurate for a large proportion of the population.

How would they even make things work? Once a power grid is turned off and their lights go out it's game over

Does their opinion matter when it's based on fables and fiction and has been so detrimental to the economy? Hmm.

It's not that hard to understand.
Imagine trade, laws, regulations, immigration, Brits living abroad, foreign students in Britain, tourism, finance, international relations, businesses in and out of the UK, um.. yeah, pretty much almost everything has to be rethought, rewritten, renegotiated..
Economically this is has had an affect on the globe. Near absolute chaos.
We're basically just drifting in limbo rn and we have no to little idea what's going to happen next.
Edit: Oh and of course this is the end of the United Kingdom as you know it. "Drama", you say.
Don't call us UK anymore, we're potentially just going to be England and Wales, and that's not the UK. We're BRITAIN now.
