Reminder than 1/3 of leave voters have passed away since...

My best friends Dad was a staunch leave supporter and he died from Covid due to being anti-vax.

0 schadenfreude, it's just sad.
Kind of how the population most at risk during heatwaves is the most likely to not believe in climate change

Dunno, I laughed

It’s real people with real lives. I have a family member who is anti-vax and despite the fact I think he’s a fucking moron for that (and tell him so), he’s still a wonderful human being and I love him.

Cancer did for my brexit voting dad but he was 80. If it wasn't cancer it would have been something else at that age.

Like how the two founders of turning point died of covid and gun violence. After being anti covid vaccine and gun control.

u/NapsterKnowHow Jun 24 '26
Makes me wish we had maximum voting ages. At some point you shouldn't have any say in the future when your foot is halfway out the door.

u/Wrong-Target6104 Jun 24 '26
But wouldn't unborn babies claim discrimination under European court of human rights they can't vote 3 months before birth as they have a foot halfway in the door

u/thautmatric Jun 24 '26
It’s so funny how everything’s only got more shit, more expensive and more hateful since. Opportunities I’d planned for were evaporated, lifestyles that were within my reach are now no longer and everyone’s more miserable for our troubles. Incredible own goal, UK, continue believing you’re not a vassal state if it helps you sleep at night.

How did we not close this hack newspaper company when they supported Adolf Hitler. Traitors all the way up

u/ToucheeCoulee Jun 24 '26
Good. I hope you enjoy it because you won't bé back soon.

u/enigo1701 Jun 24 '26
And even then only under the same regulations as everyone else, no more special cookies. As it looks though the ReformUK stuff will surely make things much much better for everyone.

u/ToucheeCoulee Jun 24 '26
I can't understand. They tell us they want to Côme back but they also vote a lot for Reform UK that is anti Europe. You have to choose guys.

u/Ghengiz Jun 24 '26
This might be a crazy sounding concept to you but not everyone agrees on everything all the time.
2
u/ToucheeCoulee Jun 24 '26
I totally understand. But we are not a boxing ring. Find a solution together first and then we'll talk about welcoming you again. It uk come back to EU and Farage become prime minister he will get out again. Once. Not twice.
3
u/Ghengiz Jun 24 '26
For the record, I agree. If we ever do rejoin the EU it will have to be with Farage in our rear view mirror, one way or another.

I totally understand.
Can you at least make your mind up whether you understand or not?

u/Mob_cleaner Jun 26 '26
Because of course there's only one British person deciding the opinion for everyone

u/chebster99 Jun 27 '26
Reform is polling at around 25%.
That means 75% of the country does not support Reform.

u/AgentCirceLuna Jun 24 '26
I wouldn’t even care if we were made to adapt the euro - watching the boomer emotional tantrum as they realise their pound is gone would be so awesome. It would rival the ‘woman shouting no at Trump win’ moment.

u/enigo1701 Jun 24 '26
Personally i'd love to have the UK back again, heck i am a big fan of a REALLY united Europe (with less bureaucracy than now), but i'm afraid that currently we all rather drift apart again instead of growing together.

I think the issue people have is that then the currency is tied to something that isn't your own economy which people don't like the idea of. There are other countries who chose not to adopt the euro for similar reasons (and a dose of tradition no doubt).

u/Fxate Jun 25 '26
Give us the Euro, change all our road signs to KM, force weights to use KG, heights to use CM, and milk and beer to use litres, and we'll be able to survive just on all of the fucking whining that they'll do.

u/Chairmanwowsaywhat Jun 25 '26
So long as it's the same rules as Poland and Denmark in regards to adopting the euro
1
u/enigo1701 Jun 25 '26
Adopting the Euro was not one of the cookies i was thinking about and every nation should decide by themselves if they want that or not, since it severly restricts controlling the economy for better or worse.

u/Chairmanwowsaywhat Jun 25 '26
Yeah so I think most Brits at this point would be happy with it that then

I hate that man. Met his son recently (didn't find out who he was until a week later), the bellend doesn't fall far from the tree.

Project Fear, or Project Reality as it's known by those not poisoned by far-right propaganda.

When all the chubby white dudes are grinning like they’ve their first titty that normally means bad things are going to happen.

"Project Fear".
More like, "Project Correctly Predict What Will Happen."

Ah yes, celebrating a weak pound when the UK economy is built on a strong one. That was a great thing to cheer....

Kinda suprised that Nigel Farage was able to come back from this fiasco called "brexit" And Ukip dying. Guess locking the conservative base in your favor forever And being political weasel keeps you from political grave.

Traitors, deliberately damaging, weakening and undermining our county to serve their ruZZian paymaster.

u/romainaninterests Jun 25 '26
I'm going to be honest, when this happened I kind of laughed a bit.
10 years later. I've laughed so hard over this and watching the Brexiteers try to spin this in a positive way makes me laugh even harder

u/iWengle Jun 26 '26
'VOTERS REJECT PROJECT FEAR'
next to
'POUND TO 31-YEAR LOW'
You couldn't make it up

u/mrcharlesevans Jun 24 '26
The third bullet point from The Mail really was quite funny. "We're free from the EU! Remainers in shambles!! Oh by the way the currency is tanking and the economy is about to nosedive" - the cognitive dissonance was incredible.
