https://eand.co/britains-finally-figuring-out-brexit-really-was-the-biggest-mistake-in-modern-history-8419a8b940c6

Now. Brits might have made a terrible mistake, but they aren’t fools. They are beginning to realize, to their horror, that Brexit has been a calamity of historic proportions. That’s not because anyone’s telling them the straight facts above, because they’ve got some kind of theoretical knowledge about it, but more simply, because they’re living it. Hence, in the latest polls, 2/3s of Brits want another referendum, on rejoining the EU again.

That’s because they are beginning to see what “Brexit is already 2/3 of the way to the Great Depression” or “Brexit turned Britain into Argentina” really means.

Consequences aren’t real until it starts hitting me in the face.

UK was only ever going to leave the EU to become more Conservative and nationalist. UK politics is just extremely depressing.

i think there would have been a decent chance of a good brexit for the working class under corbyn
despite him being what i consider a minimum viable politician, he is at least anti-imperialist and doesn’t want to feed poors like me into a woodchipper

Scargill suggested something like that. Taking advantage to accomplish some of the many left-wing reasons to break from the EU
