They voted for BREXIT! Which meant BREXIT of course!
Not...whatever this is...but BREXIT!
The 60-40 split was Kent, specifically, rather than the UK as a whole which was 52-48. I've adjusted the title to show this.
Oh well. Brexit areas need to own the consequences of Brexit as much as the rest of us.
No crying now. Do your part to make it a success.
This reaction is so fucking typical of the Little Englander mindset. They didn't give a fuck when they thought the negative consequences wouldn't reach them.
My sympathy for them stretches to my front gate - that's the attitude they've had towards everything else up until now so it's about time they get a taste of it.

These people were told numerous times of the consequences but no they wanted to there so called UK back.
Idiots.
Idiots.
Screaming "PROJECT FEAR" at even the mildest attempt to warn of the potential consequences of a "no concessions, no surrender" Brexit certainly had no bearing on this either...
"We thought voting Brexit would keep the scary foreigners out, they didn't say anything about consequences 😭😭😭"
I do not give a single solitary fuck what these people have to put up with. They wanted it.

I, as a European, feel thoroughly owned. Well done. Your planned worked. You took back your country. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor.

I actually laughed out loud when reading this.....fucking idiots who voted for brexit without listening to actual experts and people who understand what would happen if we left, and then enjoyed jumping on the "we've had enough of experts" bandwagon when people told them to realise what would happen, honestly as someone who voted remain and tried hard as fuck to convince everyone I know how stupid they would be to believe the tories lies about brexit, I've now gotten to the point where I know it's fucked, we had plenty of chances to change course but so many people were so stubborn and refused to tell the tories to fuck off at 2 fucking General elections and in fact gave them a huge majority last year, so now all I'm able to do is laugh at the idiots who caused this and hope my family isn't fucked over too hard in future seeing as we need medical care every day and the tories have had an obsession with privatising the NHS for decades, but I also told myself and anyone I know that if at any point a leave voter complains to me about anything that was caused by the brexit situation when things go bad I'm gonna outright laugh at them and tell them it's their fucking fault and they're idiots and to stop complaining and get on with it like they told everyone who wanted another vote to do.
Also sick of this idea a load of them throw around of "we didn't know what we were voting for!" Well that's not an excuse because there were a lot of people telling you all what would happen and you decided to ignore those experts again to instead believe the tories and right wing rags you fucks. I've always had the same mindset with people I know, if you don't know what you're voting for then listen to experts or people who do understand what's happening and vote how they suggest or don't vote at all, but nope everyone had to vote for magical rainbow fairyland brexit, ignoring that the leave campaign was telling everyone 100 different tales of brexit and couldn't possibly deliver a single one of them.

Gutting news - I am from Kent myself and voted remain (clearly in vain). We aren't all as bad as people in this thread are expressing as fact.
Parts of Kent are beautiful and it's absolutely gutting to see people so completely and utterly own themselves and the rest of us - all for the sake of Boris and Nigel, in essence. What a putrid state of affairs.

Borders are simply the place where one country's legal jurisdiction starts, they can be anywhere. In this case the UK government is having to create an internal border in Kent because there's simply nowhere else to put one that can house the thousands of lorries coming over from other countries whilst they get through customs/border control. Before now there wasn't any need for such a significant border because the vast majority of goods coming via lorry came from the EU.
Think of it like when you arrive at an airport; even if it's nowhere near the country's physical border with other nations you still go through a 'Border' to officially get into that country.
Yep. I'm beyond pissed off at the population now.
A bunch of rich fuckers that own the media & politics have conned an entire population into believing leaving the EU would be good for them, while they turn a country into another tax haven.
And the population STILL haven't woken up to it - instead they gave even greater control the Tories.
It's true what Lyndon B Johnson said:
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
Xenophobia and/or racism was the leading factor for Brexit; people's fear of 'foreigners'. It's pathetic how easily we're divided and manipulated.
I remember them clearly yelling "we knew exactly what we voted for so we don't need a second referendum!"
They clearly voted for Brexit. This is Brexit. They may have thought they were getting a different Brexit but after all Brexit means Brexit so all Brexits are equivalent and voting for Brexit means supporting any Brexit.
Brexit Brexit Brexit Brexit Brexit Brexit. It's the new universal word, like Smurf!
Has anyone mentioned Diane Abbott yet? Cos she'd have made a much worse job of this, right? Right?

I always knew Brexit was a stupid idea, incredibly short sighted but I never imagined the mess it has now become. We're still in the transitional stage as well.
Brexit marketing? You mean propaganda, you fool. Of course, they never showed the downsides. Just lied about positives that will never come to be.
The same with the Tories, and people will have etched on their tombstones after austerity 2.0 wipes out communities that at least we didn't let Corbyn in. You guys really saved us from the likes of me looking out for everybody, and not just myself. Well done!

It was all well and good until it directly affects them. Gonna see a lot more of this regret as the economy somehow gets even worse.
The only "victory" will be for the racists who'll be sitting in squalor thinking it's all good because they don't have to see a Polish dentist anymore. Primarily because they probably won't have the option to see any dentists.

Came to post this. And unlike the US the UK even cannot blame "the system"...
Yeah, a good chunk of these people voted for austerity because money didn't grow on trees, but here we are spaffing 100s of billions on making the country shittier, and then we will need some austerity on top to pay for "it" whatever the fuck it is.
Brexit could have had taken a lot of different forms so I have some sympathy,We didn't have to end up with this mess. Hopefully this releases the tory stranglehold on the south east. Probably not though, they'll have forgotten in 2024
If anyone asked me to describe Brexit in two words it'd be "surprise pikachu". The sheer degree of societal head-in-sand is downright farcical.
Between Trump and Brexit I am never again underestimating just what white people will do to spit in the faces of brown people. Because between Trump and Brexit white people are apparently willing to torpedo everything straight into the fucking ground.

No sympathy here. Brexit COULD have taken a lot of forms. However, they shouldn't have voted for it until there were more details about how things were going to be done.
Yeah but they were warned by PROJECT FEAR*
*Project fear being the side who didn't say 'we're being controlled and forced against our will by an evil undemocratic force' but said 'this will cause problems, we shouldn't do it.'
