    Default Re: UK referendum: Out and Lied to

    Hm, I will admit that for a moment I had been thinking it may not actually cost us much, the dead cat bounce is quite an issue, but that foolishness was after I had voted, I made my decision with the full knowledge of the consequences.

    Pity the idiots who voted based on lies, though I think fewer voted leave than stay based on them, and laugh at the idiot politicians that jumped on the bandwagon while thinking leave wouldnt actually win.

    Whether parliament made the promise with smart or foolish intent I still expect it to keep it's word and know there will be hell to pay if it does not.

    The media can keep panicking as much as it wants and keep blaming thier loss on the politics of fear.

    My feet are not near cold.

    We didnt ignore the experts, we accepted their prediction that this will hurt and we considered it worth it in the end.

    The "experts" that we actually ignored were the ones that told us that this was an irrecoverable loss, that the nation will collapse for this.

    Bullshit, nations have recovered from much worse, we recovered from much worse 80 years ago, we can do it again.

    Our predicted ruin is as much bullshit as the idea that this would have brought about immediate prosperity and the reclaiming of past glories.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
