But there IS that other half. Mainly your young, the ones that do not cling to memories of Victorian glory, "the war" and all that.
Mainly those that live in the world, not just on an island. They will eventually - soon methinks - revoke this mad decision. I hope they have more pity for you than you proved to have for them.
Your ship is now adrift without captain and half of the mates are planning a mutiny. Well done, chaps, well done.

The people on this island of Britain, do live in the *world* and i can assure you there are a lot of places in the *world* not as pleasant to live in. Perhaps that is why it is the place of choice of immigrants?
It may be adrift..... but it is still afloat
Wait till the overburdened ship called the EU hits the iceberg

Simply turn on the BBC for a few hours - you will be flooded with history about the good old days of the Empire. And nobody wants to glorify wars - but it is a fact that the Brits had their finest hour during the second world war. The Brits' obsession with e.g. Hitler is clear and abundant - you're simply longing for war-time greatness.
Which, if I am not mistaken, is what you deeply regret, now don't you?
Of course it is. Good old decent German wood, Italian rope and French wine. Works every time.
We'll have to wait and see. But frankly, if you think that the UK on it's own can do as well as all of us, you're dreaming.
Resent! Repent! Re-enter!

Your fraction has already caused severe damage to both the UK and the EU. You now prove to have no plan, no alternative, you are looking for your arse but can't even find that. Panicking Brits everywhere, the pound in free fall, and not plan A. let alone a plan B. Oh, yeah, if it weren't for the OTHER half of the UK, for the Londoners, the Scots, your young - well, good-bye and good riddance.
But there IS that other half. Mainly your young, the ones that do not cling to memories of Victorian glory, "the war" and all that. Mainly those that live in the world, not just on an island.

I think you are forgetting all the jobs shipped to the eu from Britain, such as ford vans, cadburys, jaguar/landrover, loans to dyson to send his factory to malaysia, the destruction of the British fishing fleet, so now the UK buys its fish from Iceland and spain, Britain traded with the world before 1977, and did not need brussels permission to do so.
America is germanys biggest customer, the yanks don't pay anything to brussels, but the Brits have to have to?
