When you watch "Help we Bought a Village" in the UK

And you realise how much you "Fecking hate, Fartarse Farage, Feckhead Johnson, and the rest of the Brexiteers for taking away your FOM" 😢

The British people were offered a simple choice: a majority used their own brains and voted for Brexit. Singling out individual advocates is just an insult to a majority of voters.

@ArtieKat in the interests of accuracy, 27.8% of the registered British electorate did not vote.

presumably, some had died since registration, and the tradition of dead people voting has declined over the years... i could not say it has died out entirely.

still, nearby a quarter of British voters did not vote, for whatever reason. so there was no majority of electors for either remain or leave, only a majority of those who exercised their right to vote.

i believe that it will take at least thirty years to make a realistic assessment of the impact on UK of leaving EU. i believe the benefits to the EU of not having a fractious and disruptive UK as a member will be obvious much sooner.

sorry to introduce a note of seriousness here, i am bored.
