Re: This is to punish the UK
"... while you voted in that pig-headed spiv ..."
Some of us tried not to.
It's not my fault that I only get a limited number of votes nor that this number is less than the number of numpties in UKland.
My first ever vote, nearly fifty years back, was to fully join Yurp. I wanted, still want, the lovely and wonderful Queen Lizzy to be the figurehead of a totally united Grosse Europe with things like "France", "England" and "Lichtenbergersteinshire" being no more than postal regions and artefacts of History. It does not look like I will ever get this.
It's ever so sad, wasteful and stupid.
