1/ I cannot believe I voted remain. What a fool
2/ I was worried about geopolitical influence and security for the UK and Europe. But we are GREAT BRITAIN, empire builders, world war winners, World Cup winners
3/ I was worried about the economy and people losing jobs. But not so many jobs have been lost so far and we have gone from having the best growth of developed economies to the lowest since the vote.
4/ I was worried about the jobs that rely on integrated supply chains. But these people still have jobs don’t they!
5/ I was worried about the Irish border but then I realised I am not Irish
6/ I was worried about my friends and family from the EU27 losing their rights and being discriminated against. But they can just apply for a brand new status - a settled status. What a comfort. If they don’t secure it then they will be here illegally. But it does not affect me
7/ I was worried about fresh food and imported energy from the EU but then I realised tinned good and candles are just as good - especially if you buy in bulk
8/ I was worried about the cost of things increasing but then @Jacob_Rees_Mogg said we should just get rid of all tariffs making everything cheaper. What a legend
9/ I was worried about the NHS being given less money but @BorisJohnson tells me there will be a dividend. Why would he lie? He is an MP after all who puts the national interest first
10/ I worried about the loss of investment to poorer UK regions but then I realised I live in London. Fuck them all.
11/ I worried about leaving supporting Russian foreign policy. But what was I thinking. @theresa_may called out Russia for interfering in democracies but it does not extend to ours because this is GREAT BRITAIN
12/ I was worried about leaving risking our global trading arrangements but only by leaving can we make the world accept we are right and the rules of trade have to change in our favour immediately
13/ I was worried leaving would lead to a power grab by a small group of UK MPs. But really how efficient to have 1 MP have the power to decide rules affecting 65 million people
14/ I was worried my children would have poorer futures and less freedom to study, work and live abroad. But they are feeble, entitled snowflakes who don’t know anything, mainly because they are both under 5 years old. They need to learn. Mainly by fruit picking on Saturdays
15/ I was worried that leading Brexiters may be engaged in illegal activity affecting the integrity of the vote. But that is not cricket. A game we invented. Well took from the Belgians and improved. Fucking Brussels
16/ I was worried that people thought fish contribute more to our GDP than EU27 migrants. But I now realise that they will once we get rid of all the EU27 migrants
17/ I was worried that there was no realistic plan that would leave us better off. But the EU needs us more than we need them and they will give us a good deal. 63% of the population did not vote leave after all
18/ I was worried that all the lying by MPs advocating leave would corrode our public institutions. But it turns out judges, civil servants and the Electoral Commission are fundamentally dishonest
19/ I was worried the Bank of England taking steps to the tune of £170bn to protect our economy after the vote was way more than our annual payment to the EU. But the pound only declined by less than 20%
20/ I was worried that Brexit would cost me more than the 30p a day it cost me for the UK to be part of the EU. But now I can spend that money as I see fit. Like on a Freddo. I feel liberated
