I'm so glad I left that dumpster fire of a country.
These floating voters.... who are they? Who are these people who have the intellectual capacity and memory of a goldfish?
Nothing winds me up any more - I am calm personified.
Instead of swearing angrily at them, I will simply play with my worry beads.
Zen.

Are you American?
In which case, we're glad you left too.

So if you went there please stay safe.
Thanks to Brexit we will never see scenes like this on UK streets which could easily have happened had we remained in the EU and participated in ever closer union with common EU wide policing methods enforced.
I know where I'd rather be.

Of course he will. Anything bad happening anywhere means that's just another Brexit benefit that it's not happening back at home. Domestic politics within France happening? BREXIT BENEFIT IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE UK!!!!
Not that it ever would have, but it's not surprise that the crowd that still can't name any of the burdensome regulations they did away with by leaving the EU also doesn't know how domestic vs. EU politics work. It's why they were so hype to leave the EU.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time." "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Dude, retirement age in the UK is 66...
This would obviously horrible if the "EU" (had nothing to do with this) forced you to raise it from 62 to 64... wait what?
HAIL BREXIT!
Your persona is so dumb, I can't fathom how you still live
Edit: Fixed it from "you" to "your persona" because everyone knows you are just trolling because no real person could be this dumb
If anything Britain has a lot to learn from France in how to protest. Maybe we need a month of this and instead of strikes being everyone take their turn. Have every strike happen at the same time for an entire month until the government collapses or changes course to something that isn't hoarding money for itself.
There's a reason here in the sunlit uplands with a contented populace, thanks to the beautiful Brexit and its many benefits, that you don't see the wanton vandalism and rioting taking place currently in parts of the EU. Instead of smashing the place up surely take some personal responsibility and understand the basic fact that no government controls the age at which people retire. That's what we do here in the UK where many who have saved and invested prudently for decades outside of government schemes retire in their early 50's, eurochums take note. It's certainly what I plan to do.
Still, it seems it is safer for world leaders and representatives to visit Ukraine than it currently is parts of the EU where the fabric of society seem to be falling apart.

Don't you feel embarrassed? Thank God we left and have nothing to do with the EU any more.

Imagine unironically trying to claim the UK population is content while the government tries to outlaw strikes because the workers are complaining to hard.
https://news.sky.com/story/strikes-s...d-why-12778841Hundreds of thousands of workers have been striking, with more set to walk out over pay and conditions.
The biggest day of industrial action since the current wave of strikes began last year took place as Chancellor Jeremy Hunt revealed his spring budget on 15 March.
Teachers, junior doctors, regional BBC journalists, university lecturers, civil servants and London Underground drivers all walked out.
Before that, February saw the UK's biggest day of industrial action in more than a decade as teachers, university staff, train drivers, civil servants, bus drivers and security guards all went on strike.
More workers over the coming months have agreed on industrial action as the government insists it cannot give them inflation-matching pay rises.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
And in the continuing saga of "things that Brexit fucked up because the morons that did it were incapable of organising a shag in a brothel"
https://www.theguardian.com/society/...u-forced-close
Back to work schemes, that were previously funded by the EU, are going to close because the money has NOT been redirected as required. This is what happens when you put morons in charge of running the country, people that deal in three word slogans and have no clue how to do anything.
Just for dribbles; this is a Brexit downside. Something that is clearly the result of Brexit, and is detrimental to the country. If you still have any intention of sharing actual fucking Brexit benefits with us (and at this point I'm thinking it's unlikely) you want to find something that's the opposite of this.
But you won't find any, because Brexit is a long list of damage, punctuated by a couple of things that look good on a Daily Mail headline but are actually nothing to do with Brexit (like Freeports). At this point, even the AI is starting to think that Brexit was a mistake.
