    As a Brit I would support the UK reducing its ties with the US and increasing its ties with Europe. The UK’s values (democracy, rule of law, public healthcare, welfare safety net) are closer to those of Europe, than those of the US. Maybe over the next few years the UK will slowly get closer to Europe.

    You said before that “those fuckers… voted for Brexit” but remember that only 52% of voters supported Brexit and 48% were against it, and Brexit is now less popular than it was in 2016.

      You’re right, most Brits got fucked by 52% of people who voted. Would today’s voters vote the UK back into the block?

      Your first bit is all the most heartbreaking considering the UK was a beacon of democracy in Europe throughout the whole 20th Century, with peaceful transfers of power, rule of law, protection of minorities, and the stubborn and successful resistance against totalitarianism.
