    In the UK, a tiny majority voted to “take back the country”, or Brexit. Immigration plummeted and newer migrants left, leaving huge gaps in workforce. We drove up prices by leaving the biggest buying group possible because (insert old time Empire music for irony), we think we’re still an Empire and can negotiate better deals as a tiny island of 70m than a collective of billions. Oh, and that tiny majority believed that we’d have £millions more per week for some insane reason. Crikey, that was therapeutic to get off my chest.

      Except it wasn’t a tiny minority. Hell, it’s not even a tiny minority now! Even with all this, people will take this decision to their (earlier) grave saying it was the right thing.
