Why is everyone surprised?

Quote:BMW joins Airbus in Brexit warning
Quote:The car giant BMW has followed plane-maker Airbus in warning about the consequences of Brexit uncertainty.
BMW UK boss Ian Robertson says clarity is needed by the end of the summer. BMW makes the Mini and Rolls Royce and employs about 8,000 people in the UK.
Earlier, Airbus, which employs 14,000 people in the UK, warned it could leave if the UK exits the single market and customs union with no transition deal.

It's going to go down in the history books as one of most idiotic events ever. It's not like one of those tragedies that couldn't have been foreseen. This was totally unnecessary and a complete waste of time and resources. What a fucking farce, trying to "leave" the EU while begging them to keep everything the same.
All we seem to get out of it is less regulated Tories, and I don't see how that's a good thing.

They're about 1,000 times diluted of your average "fuck poor people" American politician, but they still suck. Devious and self-interested, they do everything they can get away with.
Sadly our other parties aren't fielding much strong competition at the moment.

Brexit it looking to be a massive disaster for my country, and the 48% of us that voted remain may be left with a hard brexit that does not reflect the fact that the vote was quite tight. I accept the democratic vote; but I feel the consequences as types of brexit were unknown to many at the time of the referendum when both leave and remain ran horrible campaigns.
I hope Parliament gets a meaningful vote on the final withdrawal; a hard Brexit could be disastrous, certainly in the short and mid-term future of British trade.
Fuck the Tories.

Since it’s well known most people didn’t understand what they were voting on, and that the leave campaign exceeded the spending limit and used false propaganda, the result should be wiped off.
Ultimately this is on David Cameron.
