Nothing good in human history has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.

Gosh, if ONLY SOMEONE WOULD HAVE WARNED PEOPLE that brexit was a terrible idea tossed together by fear mongering, self interested dickheads!!! If only someone had mentioned it was a terrible idea ahead of time!

Everyone saw this coming but still decided to walk off the cliff rather than admit they'd made a bad decision

All of the last decade, and most of the last 2, has been calamitous for Great Britain. Brexit is just one on a list of crippling blows dealt to its population.

• NHS, gone
• Home ownership, gone
• Europe, gone
• Education, gone
• wages, gone
• environment- going
• civil rights - going

With no prospect of any of them coming back .

All sold to neoliberalism.

Completely failed? That is just not true. For Johnson's co-conspirators, who lied and swindled to profit from Brexit, it absolutely caused the desired shifts in wealth - that is from everybody else into their own pockets.

Just like most informed people predicted.

You should go crawling on your knees and beg the EU to take you back, and farage, rees-mogg and boris should pay for the entire thing.

Gives middle finger to biggest trading partner by far.

Surprised Pikachu face when economy goes to hell.

I cannot fathom the thought process of the Regrexiters.

IF the UK rejoins the EU at any time in the future, we will certainly never have the preferential terms and disproportionate power that we'd originally had. Defacto not as good as a deal. However, STILL much better to be part of the EU than to be circling the drain as we are right now.

Imagine voting against Scottish Independence then getting fucked out of the EU immediately afterwards by Brexit.

It sounds like cooperation works better than unnecessary contention. Who would have guessed.

No shit, Sherlock.

Any sane person would have seen this outcome coming. The leavers were still stuck in the Victorian Era with their mentality.

No fucking shit.

I’m still in disbelief at racist ignorant Tory cunts that voted for this.

Fuck them and their political apathy.

Fuck them and their complete disregard for factual information.

They can now lie in the bed they made, the absolute fools.

9% say it has benefited the NHS

Are 9% of the UK shareholders of plantir or something? Cunts!

Somebody fucked around and found out.

Oh gee. Who coulda seen that coming, huh?

Glad it happened, though. The total clown show of Brexit very quickly shut up all the Anti-EU trolls.

Hey UK, Come back into the safety of EU's warm bosom.

I mean, a lot of folks who voted leave are probably dead by now...

Those who voted remain knew this was coming, and still get to live with it.

I genuinely asking for some education on Brexit, because I personally thought, and still think it was a terrible decision for the nation, but I am hoping to get a better understanding from real people and not just read articles. I know I can research it, but would like to hear personal opinions/thoughts/etc….

I am a UK citizen, but I was living my teen and mid adult life in Australia. I didn’t get to vote on Brexit as I was not residing on the country at the time, and never thought I would return. Circumstances have changed, and I have now moved back to the UK at the beginning of the year, so I’m in the thick of the Brexit mess now. I can’t comment on what life was like before Brexit, but I am now a citizen of its consequences.

From my limited understanding, and what I really need clarification and advice on is;

Brexit was a campaign point that David Cameron ran on for election. When he won, he called the referendum, but he was opposed to it. Meanwhile, the Brexit campaign was in full swing with lots of misinformation, but Cameron only decided to rally hard in the leading three months up to the vote, failing to properly educate and explain the deal to the public.

The vote was close. Somewhere in the 52%/48%

Cameron stood down

Brexit happened, finalising at the end of 2020

I know there’s a lot of nuance, and I know I’m missing a lot of major information, but is my understanding the very basic gist of what happened?

Thanks for any response

Absolutely everyone thought it was a bad idea... Except Britton
