Bah.
We'll become a wealthy tax haven, suck the money out of the southern hemisphere, the poor will starve and vote Tory again, the left will huff, we'll all be slightly more miserable and then the Thames will flood and we can all move on and become a technological, pastoral, anarchy like we should be.
As long as there's an offy open we'll be right.

It's complicated.
But mainly it's the fault of cunts and idiots. You see, Brexit was a terribly bad idea.

I have more sympathy
for the idiots than the cunts.
Idiots can't see it is a bad idea, they have been fooled by smarter cunts into thinking it is a good idea.
The cunts, on the other hand, can see it is a blatantly terrible idea but want to do it anyway, either for personal gain, to keep the masses poor and subjugated, or to keep the brown/foreign people out.
I am not ignoring that there are some stupid cunts but in their case, it is hard to tell if they would still be cunts if they were not so stupid so they get a sort of pass on being a cunt, but not a pass on being an idiot.
Looked at dispassionately, immigration has had a net benefit to the country. People who 'come over here' as a whole provide a net contribution in tax contributions, services, skills and knowledge. The laws passed by the EU, which on the whole benefitted the average person and stopped companies taking the piss, were either proposed by the UK or we had a veto over them. There was no way for the EU to impose a law on us that we did not allow.
Of course, at this stage, it is pointless to argue over whether Brexit will happen. It is happening and the Tories are fully in charge. I wouldn't have it any other way.
That will not stop me for one though pointing out all the ways it continues to be a bad idea. We have had decades of sniping about the EU in all the idiot's shitrags, now it is time for decades of pointing out just how bad an idea it was to leave.
I am still waiting to see any benefit to the UK which is not nebulous and ideological, i.e. 'Taking back control' etc
We always had control.
You know, this is the only time in all of history where a country has voluntarily moved from having a free trade agreement into a position where it has had to talk about how to put up barriers to trade...

I reckon there's a fairly large amount of non-idiots who voted for it.
Problem is they had little to no idea about what EU and our involvement with it was. They were led by misinformation and selective truths. This should never have been a public vote as there was, and still is, little understanding about what being a member really entailed. I doubt any significant percentage of the country had any knowledge of global economics (still don't). But yeah, let's get brown people out of the country because reasons? It's a fucking stupid idea but there's nothing we can do about it at the moment...

I don't really agree with that (cunts aside, cunts are cunts)
I know fairly smart people in their field who voted for it, without a full understanding of what "it" actually meant. Yes LOTS of idiots voted for freedom, cuntry and whatever else shit you want to call this balls up. Some realise their mistake, but are too proud to say they were wrong. Some even say they were wrong, but there's no way of turning back. This is why a public vote on this was a bad idea from the start, even sensible people can be misled with the right propaganda.

Sorry it's getting too serious on here

It would have been more accurate to say anyone who voted Brexit WAS an idiot. I think you need to reappraise your smartness criteria though.
Things I think make people idiots include:
Failure to recognise bullshit (e.g. bendy bananas, red tape, undemocratic unelected bEUROcrats, Soros, the EU army, the NWO)
Believing obvious bullshit (see above, also religion, money, climate denial, flat Earth, etc)
Acting on bullshit beliefs (voting to leave the EU, voting for the Conservatives/UKIP/TBP/BNP/NF, sending money to Nigel Farage for any reason)
I hear there are sensible people who voted for Brexit all the time, but when you start to investigate these claims they all fall apart. Sensible people do not knowingly vote to make themselves poorer, more isolated, and less safe, so they must have done so unwittingly. Unwittingly acting against your better interests is not smart. Being theoretically smart but idiotic in practice makes you more of an idiot, not less.
That said, realising you were once an idiot makes you smart. That is the only route back to sanity for the 52%, imo.

I'm looking forward
to reading poor brexiteers moaning about not being able to get cheap booze and fags from France or Spain and how their food shop has gone up by 30% and their wages have gone down by 15%.
Moaning that Lidl and Aldi now cost as much as Tesco.
I'll still be able to get nice wine and cheese, I can afford the tariff. That's all it will mean, higher prices. Nice cheese will still be made in Italy, France etc, you will just have to pay a bit more to have it delivered from there instead of going to Waitrose or M&S.
Brexit is going to shaft poor people the most.

I mean, I can see it on the label, it says right there that it's made in Spain.
I have no problem with that: I want Spain to make my drugs if they're as competent about it as they've consistently proven to be. Don't care much whether my drugs come from Yorkshire, Wales, Spain, Greenland, India, or Peru.
But I don't believe we've put in train enough safeguards to the supply chain to manage the smooth flow of medicines post-Brexit. We still don't know if there's a trade deal or not, let alone where my medicine is going to come from. It ain't made in Yorkshire.

Veering slightly off-topic
but I was a community pharmacist until recently (now no longer working with the general public, thank fuck).
About fifteen years ago, the company I was doing locum work with were getting a lot of parallel import drugs. Put simply, these are 'foreign' packs of drugs with labelling in English stuck on top of them. The drugs themselves are made to the same standards (sometimes in the same place) as the 'UK' ones, but they're cheaper to obtain from the wholesaler. [There's a whole different discussion to be had about why that is, but it can probably be boiled down to convoluted drug company profiteering.]
Anyway, a patient handed me a prescription for pravastatin. It was still under patent, so Lipostat was the only brand available. We only had the PI packs in stock, which were made in France. He made a point of asking if we had the British pack, because he didn't want to take any foreign medicine - "you wouldn't trust their food, so why should you trust their drugs?"
To keep him happy, I phoned the wholesaler and ordered him two UK packs of Lipostat. Which were made in Portugal.
If he was still alive in 2016, I think I can guess how he voted.

Staying on-topic:
the pharmaceutical supply chain in the UK is interwoven with the EU at all levels. I honestly don't know how Brexit is going to play out in that regard, but at the very least I expect there to be major disruption. I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think you understand the meaning of socio-economic, or hyperbole.
I think your head is buried deep in the sand. Other people have tried to open your eyes to the damages that have already been done, and to the further horrors that await us.
We are already less safe. No deal brings us closer to a return to civil war (or 'the troubles' if you prefer that euphemism). The flag waving cunts have been describing our closest allies as the enemy and Remainers as traitors. The economy is already tanked. Things can only get worse with or without a trade deal, but considerably worse without.
Reality will have to set in for you sooner or later, one way or another.
