The fuck is going on over there?
Maybe UK citizen have not yet realized how badly they screwed themselves with Brexit, and they need a second shot of an even sadder reality? Or maybe they’ve just given up already?
Why did they want to leave the EU anyway?
Most of us didn’t….half the country voted, and a quarter voted leave, having believed the lies of snake oil salesman Nigel Farage and one or two others that the EU was screwing us over somehow, and its “unelected official” weren’t helping. Plus some other bollocks about migrants.

And less than a quarter voted to stay. Also it’s only a quarter if you include babies and others ineligible to vote.

To be fair I never heard a baby ask to leave the EU, so I can only assume they were happy with the status quo
