How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Very popular, it had a ton of responses in the media

I take it you mean 1.01605 tonnes

"Can I have 1 stone of potatoes"

"Don't you realise we are metric now and its kilos"

"Oh sorry. So can I have 1 stone of kilos"

One of my abiding memories of referendum night is watching Sunderland leave voters cheering the count and me thinking 'WTF'.
Surely they should have known that their continued jobs were dependent on the ability to export unhindered to the European market.

If one particular conurbation best encapsulated the utter stupidity of the Leave vote, it was Sunderland.

If only the remain campaign had called them all stupid in the lead up to the vote they may have won them over and the vote could've gone the other way......

Just because the vote was stupid, doesn’t mean the people who voted for it were. I am anything but stupid, but I’ve done plenty of stupid things that I later regretted. I expect you have too.

Voting to Leave was stupid, as subsequent events have undeniably and demonstrably revealed.

So, I stand by my comment.

Not really an option, it's only in hindsight just how stupid they were.

Tbf leavers were characterized as stupid and racist for months before the vote, so it's not like they didn't have fair warning from the enlightened.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing, but that isn't what happened, but no matter, Brexit is an ever shrinking moving feast. Those who voted for it are continually redefining why they voted for it, because the the real reasons they voted for it have evaporated.

Now all you're left with is the freedom to be unable to afford to buy bendy bananas in pounds and ounces.

I think the factors you pointed to are also valid, but sticking two fingers up was definitely a large motivation for many.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face is never a good policy

I suppose if you call people thick idiotic racists they're not going to say "blimey I think you're right"

Maybe remainers should've been kinder, using a more psychological approach.
"Look I know you want to leave and you're an intelligent chap, but think of it like this..."

Come-on remainers, you didn't use your noggins. :)
