    Government data is always years behind common sense knowledge. It gets released after guaranteed cool off period where it can’t be blamed.

    Truth is, it’s not the government’s fault Brexit happened. Some may say it is, but they’re idiots that got basic spoon fed instead of taking a few minutes into actually seeing what most politicians—especially local—were saying.

    I mean, the world was LOLing at Britain flirting with the idea; that should’ve been enough to let the English know that they’re not even as informed on domestic atance as the international general public.

    Free Scotland and Ireland!

      David Cameron, head of government at the time, was the one who called the Brexit vote. Government isn’t to blame?

      The government basically had an American gas station diarrhea moment and the best they could manage on their way out was to use a single toilet paper square on their own arses. Now we still have their crap smears all over the place and it stinks more each day.

      That’s not to say people who voted for it aren’t to blame either, but there are multiple parties who contributed to this bomb. Voters, politicians, rich people (especially the media empire moguls).
