A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.

He's obviously joking but Remainers like him and me have a right to be fucking angry. My citizenship of the EU has been lost because of xenophobia and stupidity.

I voted remain and I'm not joking: push Brexit voters into the ocean.

It'd increase the country's average IQ by at least 10 points and significantly reduce the number of racists and grifters in the country.

(Yes I know not everyone who voted for brexit was racist, but all racists voted for brexit)
