Abstract Noun Syndrome

People like you skim above the surface, swallow any old abstract nouns people tempt you with and always look on the bright side.
Brexit is not the worse thing in the history of the world but be totally clear: there is no bright side. Not a single one of the benefits they told you would come your way actually will. Not one more Rolls Royce Trent will be sold to New Zealand. Not one more bar of Dairy Milk will be shipped to Zambia . Not one more penny will be saved for the NHS etc etc etc. Haven't you noticed how not a single concrete benefit has been identified?

The market in fidget-spinners, squishies, and comfort blankets is going through the roof as a result of angst-ridden bremoaners desperately blowing their wads seeking solace from the democratic decision to dynamically change direction.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I didn't vote remain because I thought being out the EU would hurt me personally - whatever storm is coming I'm pretty sure with my skills and contacts I'll not only weather it but prosper; I made a very nice little earner out of transformation programmes following the financial crash! I voted remain as I could see the impact it would have on those regions of the UK most vulnerable to a downturn, ironically the ones who voted out and were fooled by the lies of Boris and his pals. An altruistic vote in many ways as I'm more likely to do better under the chaos of Brexit, but I don't want that if many others have to suffer.
Clearly Shaun you, and many others who voted out (again refer to the comments on BBC HYS for the Gibralter story are anything to go by) don't give a damn about others and are happy to make many Britains suffer if it allows you to give 2 fingers to the EU for some perceived slight. A very selfish attitude, but I'm sure you'll come back with some 'witty' remark followed by a pointless emoji and think you're being clever, but actually make yourself look like the fool you are.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

You voted Remain for your own selfish reasons because any change to the status quo might impact your personal situation.

I'm fairly sure the EU members will lurch to the right and the EU will crumble. I see more signs of that happening than the UK not doing deals.
Not heard of the FrancaisWorth, DeustchlandWorth or Belgianworth, it seems we are the only colonial power that our former colonies don't hate with a vengance. Who is in charge of the EU??Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
