Meanwhile in Italy

Because every time he takes a biscuit without permission, his Mum deducts the value from his pocket money and bans him from Civ 5 for a week.

Unfortunately here we have Brexit "thinking" in all its glorious confusion.
According to OPM, the poor voted for Brexit because they were tired of being done over by the rich.
And yet they're supporting the mega-rich Rees-Mogg and his ilk who want to turn the UK into a harsher US-style winner-takes-all country.

Or maybe we've got it all wrong and Rees-Mogg is a socialist

[original PM]

The way I make my money has nothing to do with exploiting the poor.
There's a shortage of people with my skills.
Some of the poor could concievably re-train in those skills and get paid highly too.
Why don't they?
Why do you think getting rich is a zero-sum game?

Why do you think you are better than other people because you have more money?

Where did I say that?

On the morning after the vote, Rees Mogg announced on the radio that it was a great blow against the establishment. And him a simple hedge fund owner from an honest Somerset coal mine owning family.

What are you wittering on about? I'm all for a real a.k.a hard Brexit.
I'd like to see Italy leave the Euro too, for added entertainment.

To be fair, Italy leaving will save the EU a fortune, so they won't need to impose such punitive measures on the UK.

Presumably the fear of being left at the bottom of the pile caused you to leave the country...

You will still find a way to blame the EU for own inadequacies.

No got tired of living in a 2nd rate country which is going to get 3rd rate. Italy rates of growth for the forseeable future.
Glorious future with trade deals with non EU countries? Not going to happen, Fox's wet dream.

The Narnian trade deal is shaping up well, as long as the White Witch gets tariff free Turkish delight exports.

Italy won't be leaving the EU, both parties, M5S and the Lega have both said that in their treaties that exit from the EU or the Euro was not their plan, in fact most Italians don't want to leave the Euro.
