in his day, you broke it you bought it, in my day though he's able to break it and make me pay for it.

if I were a british youth who's future is now one of long term economic downturn that is.

[StoneRabbit]

"Fuck EU", say man who still wants the benefits of living in EU.

Sums up brexit perfectly.

[Fulcrum]

Abandon ship!

[Saint Furrybutt]

What dumbass hypocrite

[Jon27]

It's not suspicious at all that most of the rich figures who wanted Brexit are now desperate to leave the country, or retain their EU citizenship. As if the whole goal of this thing was to make freedom of movement for British people yet another thing reserved for the privileged.

Oh my God, this is kind of amazing. It's such a poster for what a monumentally bad idea Brexit is.

[F.X Clampazzo]

So uhh, are we going to cancel Brexit so I can move back home or what? I'm getting kinda tired of the US now and I'd like to be able to move home on good faith that I'm not going from one actively self fucking country to another.

Brexit for everyone but me, I shouldn't suffer like everyone else!

Utter old moron's who push youth towards something that'll just make their life worse long-term, while they themselves are going to live calm, rich and nice life somewhere else, in a better place

This is so frustrating on so many levels, it's unbelivable

[Archangel125]

So France plans on denying his application, right?

[Daddy-of-war]

Coward.

[Cyteless]

Brexit really is a great prank. Troll your fellow countryman by leaving the country in a worse off state, but then move so you don't have to deal with it. Epic.
