      It’s even darker than that - a lot of the leave votes were elderly folks who voted how their newspapers told them to (daily fail was a big “LEAVE” proponent).

      Those people are, mostly, dead or trapped in the later stages of dementia now.

      17 million voters of 60 something million voted for it. The other quarter or so of the population that voted, voted Remain. And on the basis of that quarter of the population that voted, we left. It’s ridiculous, embarrassing, stupid as shooting yourself in the foot.
