I keep seeing people saying "Brexit was a 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲".

I think you mean the direct result of a conspiracy by billionaires who wanted to weaken the EU, and open up the UK to exploitation, including forcing private health care on us, with some assistance from Russia.

Have people really forgotten Tice visiting the billionaires, and then bragging "We're going to take the UK out of the EU"?

It was a scam, a fraud, a crime, not just a 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲.

@Walrus a "mistake" would be doing something that led to unforeseen consequences. We warned the UK, again and again and again what the consequences of leaving the EU would be. It, as a whole, refused to listen or even discuss it in good faith. Many UK citizens knew it was a bad idea. Fellow citizens ignored them. That's not a "mistake". That's cutting one's nose off to spite one's face. As much as I feel sorry for and want to help those who knew but who were stonewalled, "the UK" made its bed...

Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar all voted to remain. England (with the exception of Greater London) and Wales voted to leave, with something like 56% and 52% respectively.
The leave vote as a whole barely scraped over with 51% and the threshold percentage for such a major decision should have been higher than any whisper over 50. When 3 out of 5 parts of the UK voted to remain, there is no "UK as a whole".

"There is no UK as a whole"

I'm afraid there is. The "UK as a whole" consists of England and its vassal states.

Ireland realised this a long time ago, and at the beginning of last century it decided that enough was enough. Sadly that resulted in a chunk of the island separating itself from the rest, but the Republic emancipated itself.

What Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland want will never matter to England and "The UK as a whole".

What will you do about it?

@Kintire @Walrus It may not be easy and there will be some red tape and formalities but we in the EU will gladly welcome back emancipated former "United Kingdom" countries.
