You aren't the ones who voted for Brexit.

It's Darren the drunk firefighter from York who threatened to beat me up because I wasn't English at a World Cup Qualifier 10 years ago. He even did the "I'm not racist, but I don't like London, too many black immigrants."

He didn’t say that, he said we should teach it as the most noble thing we have ever done in Britain. Me and my mates immediately vomited in our mouths.

The Independent posted:

David Cameron has previously said the Empire should be “celebrated”.

YouGov found 44 per cent were proud of Britain’s history of colonialism while only 21 per cent regretted that it happened. 23 per cent held neither view.

There is no firm deadline but whatever they would agree to would have to also be approved by the EU, which would likely take a day or two, and it would have to take effect on the 13th. So theoretically they still have another week or so to figure something out

From what the MPs were saying after the results were announced, it sounded like their next plan was to mash the various failed plans together and vote for all the mash-up combinations, hoping that one would get a majority

A permutation of brexit

You ground Greece into dust just to show everyone else what happens. You're not the good guys. You're Germans.

The UK isn't Greece. The UK isn't a victim of Germany. There is no Troika set up that rules y'all with technocratic sociopathy.

The fact that your country is crumbling, that y'all gently caress over the poors and that y'all want to leave the EU because y'all are deadly afraid of plumbers and nurses with Polish accents are on Germany either.

The only one to blame for the problems of the UK is the UK itself, because y'all started believing your own propaganda on why y'all the pinnacle of mankind and natural leaders of the world.

It still boggles my mind that they could overwhelmingly vote against hard brexit and then overwhelmingly vote against the final tool they have to stop brexit by revoking article 50. Im sorry brit goons, but your government is irreparably damaged and you must purge the people in leadership and the citizens that vote to continue to cycle

if parliament just voted to revoke it would set the country on fire, and for good reason

just outright ignoring the result of a referendum you accepted as binding during the campaign is intensely undemocratic
