Yup. It really is Brexshit.

But in the case of billionaires my sympathies are limited. It's the working people and their savings I'm concerned over. Billionaires bet in the international gambling halls against the rest of us. So, though luck, if they lose.

"Losses of the world's 400 richest"

My heart bleeds, it really does.

At least you'll have the consolation that in going down, you took some Billionaires' third yacht with you!

I think the only thing that I enjoyed was the right to live and work in Europe. Mind you, when I went to Germany 13 years ago, I still had to queue up with all the other non-EU immigrants for an "Arbeitserlaubnis", and had to register myself. I still remember that there was a sign on the door in the Council offices saying (in German) "Either speak German or bring an interpreter". Could have used more of that in the UK.

I don't care for all the other single currency, economical / trade stuff.

Based on that statement I can only repeat what I already said. You obviously don't have anything to lose. Or order too many pints at the pub, for that matter. Otherwise you would - or at least should - care for all the other single currency, economical / trade stuff.

I wasn't trying to garner sympathy. It was schadenfreude because the biggest funder of the Leave campaign donated £3m and as a result of the Brexit has lost £410m.

Or as Dean Burnett said when he retweeted this:

Didn't say you were, it's pretty poetic.

Are the retirement fund losses suffered by ordinary working people also poetic?
