Yup Brexit mindset in a nutshell. They're perfectly willing to be poor so long as it upsets the people they don't like. It's a tragic bit of self-harm really.

So strange considering that Brits always spread around the world including other countries in their empire, and now they want to be alone.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Brexit was a silly idea badly executed. We were told that after brexit there would be £300 million per week available for the NHS... who would have expected politians to lie??
