It's amazing to see the French and Germans laugh at the Brits and our idiot Brexit and then a few years later make all the same mistakes with their Far Right that we Brits made, not having learned a single fucking thing.

@Lazarou Can you elaborate what mistakes you mean? To be completely honest: Brexit took me by complete surprise. Many of us outside of the UK didn't even know that there was a referendum until it was already over. I do not know much about the events leading to Brexit. Thanks!

@nimi This should give you an idea of what was going on and where David Cameron went wrong. In a polite, academic way.

Arrogance, insularity and underestimating the opposition.
