You know, that's what people think, but seeing as how the UK was split down the middle some of the book throwers are likely the ethnocentric dirtbags. I know this may seem unfamiliar to you Brits, for whatever reason...but take it from the American South, the moment you need and expect the authorities to act uniformly in the interests of a perceived out-group, is the very moment you realize that they won't. 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Don't you understand how your comments sit with someone like Cthulhu, who's just losing money, as we speak? It's the eqivalent of pointing fingers and laughing over his misery. In short, being a jerk of biblical proportions.
Of course your comments don't influence anything. It's just the picture you're presenting of yourself. And make of that what you will.

I'm sorry shit like that happened to Cthulhu, but I thoroughly believe Brexit was in the UKs interest and am proud that we finally achieved it. FYI, by results I meant the vote on the referendum night.
We're going through a bit of an economic hit, but we'll be fine. If that doesn't make me popular here, then that's okay by me.

Every time I see a supporter marginalize the costs -already incurred- before the UK has even left.....it highlights the fact that those supporters weren't playing with a full deck, and still aren't.
17, lol..so...nothing concrete to lose and no experience of loss. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't any different when I was 17. I was equally oblivious.

Just coming in line with other agencies who'd already done so -before- the ref. Inclusion in the EU was the only thing that agency was clinging to in giving them trips to begin with.

You have to understand that this is no joking matter. People are losing their livelihood and retirement plans. I can relate, since I lost mine back in 2008.
What you believe is irrelevant, what you say is, since there are people reading your comments. So, again, if you don't want to be viewed as a monumental jerk, think before you post some half assed jokes. This is life and for some people ruinous consequences. So, if you aren't into kicking the victims of a train wreck, you better have some arguments to present, instead of what you consider jokes to rile up some people. Yes, it riles them up, in a way, that is a cheap shot at someone losing everything they ever worked for.
