Why did they want to be one of the higher up in the third world? We at least voted our evil crazy leader out before we joined the third world.
Boris wasn't arsed and the all went home having spent £500 on fuel and wasted earnings. They are big trucks. Drive the fucking things onto downing street!!
Well.. They did choose it didn't they? Or was it only the English fishermen? 🤔 Anyhow... You make the bed, you sleep on it... 🤷🏻♀️
Confusing. Wasn’t there a Brexit vote? Another example of people choosing emotionally without checking the repercussions.
What?!!! They didn't rush the place? Wimps!!!
England is the only one of the 4 uk countries that voted to leave and simply it won because of population. Scotland has around 6 mil, northern Ireland about 1.5 mil and Wales 3 mil. England has the rest
Makes the 🇺🇸 feel a little less lonely, but at least you've got rid of your monster after four years. The 🇬🇧 is stuck with Brexit for a generation.
Time for another Referendum.
They got what they wanted so what’s the problem? BrexitDeal
They've known this was coming since 2016, if you're in business and haven't prepared and planned for this, you're fucked anyway.
