    We did pretty well out of that, then bailed when it got rough.  Shamefully cowardly.
    The other idiots in the EU, led by Germany, are all heading off of a cliff.

    It is not cowardly to not follow the rest of the idiots over that cliff. The majority of UK voters were very wise, and they chose to break away before it was too late.

    There is nothing irrational with not wanting countless terrorists, rapists, mass molesters, and brainwashed simpletons who belong to bad cultures, who refuse to assimilate and who hate your culture and are part of an invasion force.
    Except that hasn't been part of the argument at all, the immigrant argument from the leave campaign has consistently been to "keep Britain British", nothing about terrorists, rapists, molesters, or simpletons (?!) at all.  Plain, unadulterated xenoophobia.  Which you'd know if you'd followed the coverage, which you appear to be claiming that you have.

    If they can weather a bit of boat rocking from the exit, the EU will probably be better off without the UK.  We always were the reluctant, petulant drag on the entire union.  They'll probably be fine, or better than fine.

    I hope they are, and I'd be entirely ok with them gloating as the UK goes down the toilet.  We deserve it.

    Keeping Britain British is basically the same thing that I am saying.

    And good for the UK people for not voting for their own extinction!

    Illusory extinction vs actual irrelevance. The dice are cast. I'm hoping to move to Germany next year.

    The EU is on its last legs. The UK is the first nation to leave. Won't be the last. Wanting to control your own destiny, rather than have it set by un elected beaurocrats in another country. 
    Apple, Google all want the EU. Easier to bring in cheap labor. Same reason they suck up to obama. visa quota's that favor other countries, rather than our own. 
    Lots of big words by the Remain crowd here. But it comes down to having people who don't want to be British or American. Sharia courts, zones where white people are banned, or any non muslim. Honor killings, rape, murder. It is a big F you to Islam. Good. It is about time.

    It's ok. Even if you bet against your own country and don't like your own country, like most on the left do not, I'll be betting on the UK in the future.

    Hopefully there will be a new entry on Predictit soon, which asks which will self-destruct first, the EU or the UK? I'll definitely put my money down on the EU. They're not going to last that long, while the UK is going nowhere. I've been doing pretty good on Predictit so far. So many delusional liberals means easy money. They're living in some sort of fantasy land, and they have a very bad track record of predicting reality.

    Even if you don't believe in your own country, don't worry, I do! :#

    I previously told Mel Gross that Germany would soon be out of the EU because their people were sick of getting stuck with the bill from the weaker, less organized European countries. I never would've expected Britain would be the first one out... but good for them! The fear-mongering by Obama and the British press proved ineffective and finally they'll be more in control of their own destiny, instead of a pawn of Europe as a big club of insiders.

    Surely France will be next.

    Perhaps Apple could get an even better deal than with the backstabbing Irish and move their European operations to England instead now? No more harmonized tax rates to abide by, I'm sure Britain will be eager to attract LOTS of big businesses (and with that lower priced Pound too)!

    Not to mention Farage's own campaign which put up this poster

    That's a picture of Syrian refugees entering Turkey, absolutely nothing to do with the EU and immigration into the UK.
    Even if this is the case, and I believe it is, why the Remain camp couldn't manage to reverse that meme? The British people live peacefully with the immigrants since decades, how did they become suddenly such xenophobic to leave the EU? The British people's vote is a much bigger event than Farage or his party or his campaign, it is their insight and experience that shaped their preference, not a stupid poster created by an irrelevant advertising agency.

    EU's troubles are much bigger and structural than the whole immigrant crisis.

    Good idea!

    England would make a great base for European Operations.

    One other positive outcome for Apple when the EU finally disintegrates, is no more ridiculous EU commissions or EU Jihads and EU lawsuits against Apple.

    Forty years of dealing with incompetent people... I'm surprised they took it for this long!

    This piece from The Guardian -- quoting ten different Brexit voters on why they voted Leave -- is deeply insightful. I recommend it to both sides of the debate. And especially to DED.

    Good article remarkably free of propaganda.

    Good one. I hope you're including Americans in that formula.

    1) No it isn't. Not even remotely. You're no more than a vile person trying to justify your racist thoughts.
    2) With a 2nd referendum in Scotland, Northern Ireland to follow, they are indeed in extinction process

    My arguments have nothing to do with race. You are merely another race obsessed, racist leftist who offers nothing of value to the conversation besides yelling racist! Are you friends with trigglypuff?

    Here's a clue. The racist card didn't work out too well for you lot in the recent Brexit vote, but keep up the good work! :#
