Looking back, does the Remainers being right about the outcome of Brexit help them at all going forward in terms of British people listening to them?

The only people who practice critical thinking skills (primarily <40s) vote in far fewer numbers than those who do not. Anybody who voted for Brexit and still believes in it would never admit to the shambles the country is currently in. This 25-30% of the population make up ~60% of the voting electorate. So no, being factually correct means bugger all when it comes to dealing with these fuckwits.

Leaded petrol wasn't banned in the UK until the year 2000 when the EU forced us to.

There were definitely rural petrol stations still selling leaded petrol into the mid 2000s on the Isle of Wight, a great destination if you want to take a holiday in 1972

after corbyn eating a historic amount of poo poo against a cartoon oval office i was envious that the US would soon get president bernie then the first debate i bothered to watch him in i thought "uh oh" so once burned twice shy, at least in 20 years when the next career politician is selected as leader of the left by happenstance and tries to run a fluffy democratic campaign in an oligarchy i'll know not to get my hopes up

The hereditary royal heir lived, was an adult, made political alliances with other exiles and foreign powers while exiled and Cromwell died before a new domestic political order or accepted succession was in place. Meanwhile French royalty pissed away all the goodwill the third estate had for them while they were alive and were then killed and I guess there was a much longer and more thorough series of purges and campaigns against French royalists so it was easier to keep moving onwards to the Directorate and Napoleon rather than ever look back.

Cromwell basically ruled as a king and was a fantastically dreadful person. When he died everyone basically just went "Well, we have that a try. Let us never do it again."

i was wading through the twitter hole that took me down last night and found some monarchist trad cath who thinks the us should return to uk rule but as a catholic theo-monarchy under the queen, but also that the church of england should have theocratic rule in england and supervision over the catholic church. his argument for this was that the united states was a fundamentally catholic nation.
