Cue Tony Blair trying to appear relevant and saying it won't happen ignoring Jean-Claude Juncker's words of 'Don't believe Brexit won't happen.'
I'm sure everything will be ready by then ;)
Jesus christ, the vote will reach its 2-year anniversary in about 3 months. It feels like the vote happened yesterday.
Feels like it happened 20 years ago, the news doesn't seem to shut up about it.
I've gone so far past caring I just want it to be finally done
Boy howdy golly gee I sure can't wait to see how horribly this is going to fuck Britain over.
And us.
I would imagine the EU taking good care of you considering your border.
Yeah, exactly. It feels like the vote itself happened yesterday, but it feels 20 years worth of news happened between then and now.
Ugh, I guess that's what you feel with all this political drama going on.
In the Remain timeline we would be more than half way through David Cameron's second term and would be watching him grapple with US relations after publicly calling Trump stupid during the 2016 election. Would have been more fun
Bleh don't talk about what-ifs, makes me feel sad about our current situation
One benefit of Brexit at least is that the Tories are going to be fucking finished for years when it's done.
Also if we had to pick alt timelines for the UK, we could have Eld Miliband trying to deal with Trump.
The empire is on schedule, though it is interesting to have the UK push foreign policy down the grapevine to us again.
That's because of the amount of stuff done so far amounts to pretty much a days work
The reality of your idea of the British empire is pretty much going to look as such:

The empire's on schedule for 1922
we'll have bananas so bendy they'll be doughnuts, that'll show those foreign SCUM!
Who exactly is the dog supposed to represent, because its certainly not the EU.
Everyone else looking down on your idiotic view that thinking this will "revive the empire" when all its going to do is hurt the county in the long run.
Pretty much everyone else, but you're right it's not very clear. Here's revision 2

Yeah, I'm still not seeing it, as the small mouse/whatever can be any country at any time. But for this sake, you should include allies.
What allies?
Going off that line of thought, we are all technically alone and have no allies.
of course you aren't seeing it because your entire worldview is warped
britain was once an empire
it fucked india, africa and has plenty of atrocities within it
why on earth would you want an empire, especially one that is not powerful , once again?
So no allies then?
Yes, it needs to be adjusted to have 195 mice on the image instead of a dog, since none of us are apparently allies or operate as one.
can we just not bother
Boilrig, what?
First you tell me to include the allies, then, when asked, you say there aren't any. Make up your mind or (and) stop this nonsense
please humour us boilrig, what series of events would need to happen that would allow THE EMPIRE to rule the waves again in the 21st century, because every time you mention THE EMPIRE you omit exactly how that would come to pass. or, is it the more likely explanation, that you're a not so elaborate troll?
The ones who repleid to the recent Russian aggression that May managed to convince to turn out the Russian diplomats.
It was in the news you know.
really showing off those critical reasoning skills
I didn't realise you were being serious about your 'What allies?' comment. You might as well shove in any country who expelled embassy staff.
Remember when boilrig never talked openly about their desire for an empire, only ever defended Brexit by how they thought it was "protecting democracy"
think we see your true colours mate, jog on
