Sure, honey, whatever you say. The fact that a huge amount of Leave voters failed to do their research before the vote obviously has absolutely nothing to do with it.


I'll have you know, Irvine looked up the issues thoroughly before voting Leave

I have nothing against people I disagree with. I only have a problem with people who systematically follow whatever opinion is fed to them through populism.

Tbf, a proper point. Farmers voting brexit was top lul. Not only do they get fat handouts from the eu they also get dirt cheap labour. Hearing them complain that they have had to up their pay to attract workers was probably the best thing I've heard all year.

Still happy they voted leave mind. Was always going to be brexit winners and losers, luckily a combination of fear the muzzies, a big red bus and being threatened by the world's most powerful black man was enough to convince enough of the losers that they could be winners.

A level headed post from someone with rightist tendencies? Damn, PaRD needs more people like you.

Still haven't figured out if I'm a winner or loser yet as I'm in financial services. I'm applying for citizenship in another EU country just in case things go to shit (srs).

I'll 100% get it as well because it's through birthright so I don't even need to go to that country or speak the language.

Voilà!

ridiculous argument, people (overall) not really having the very best political education or not being well informed is true for EVERY election or referendum in every single country

nice strawman

Well it's pushed me into the top 20% of earners bracket and I'm one of the 20ish% of my age bracket that owns (with a mortgage) their own home.

So I'm ticking the win box.

Financial services jobs gonna depend on the trade deal we get. Without passporting I'd say you're options will be pretty limited. But pretty hard to tell right now. A get out option is a good bet, or just shimmy over to Ireland and learn to love guiness.

This is beautiful irony, I have to say.
