Don't send him to Australia, we're done with your criminals.

Whilst we are busy blaming people I believe Rupert Murdoch has a lot to answer for, not only concerning Brexit but for the awful culture in American and global politics too.

[inspectit]

😂😂😂 As an American, I love your desrved, condescending criticisms of your country's so-called "conservatives". Just like here, all they can do is cause and create problems for which, they NEVER have any solutions for. Just more complaints about.

I voted Remain. I did some EU Directives into UK Law. My father and my sister are still fully signed up to Brexit. My sister even said she gets annoyed when people say, that Brexit was racism. So I asked her why she voted Leave, and she replied "Immigration" and then she got upset when I smiled. The irony was lost on her. I really think these people are incapable of thinking.

Conning people is easy, you just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they have been conned is much harder because you need to overcome their pride.

"If brexit is a disaster I'll become an immigrant in another country", said the man who stands guard on beachy head against immigrants.

UK gets brexit and US gets Trump. Not a coincidence.

[ChristopherFynn]

The damage Farage has done to this country.

I'm a Malaysian working in Singapore. Both countries are in the Commonwealth and have millions of investment in the UK, but most if not all of them were prior to Brexit. This was due to the familiarity of the language, laws, culture and much more due to being former colonies of the British. In short, we were used to the British and found it easier to invest in the UK because of that, and as a gateway into the EU. Post-Brexit, businesses here are concentrating on investments in the EU directly, and bypassing the UK, despite the different legal systems and languages. Oh, and Malaysia and Singapore are part of ASEAN (Association of South-East Asia Nations), which aspires to integrate their economies like the EU.

As for the Brexiter's dream or aspiration of becoming a Singapore-on-Thames, well, Singaporeans are more pragmatic and realistic than Brexiters. They had to be in order to create the modern and successful Singapore that Brexiters want to emulate. Ask them if they want to exit ASEAN or exit the EU if they were part of it, the answer would be a resounding NO.

Almost everybody here that I talked to about Brexit thought that it was financial and business suicide for the British. And most if not all, put it down to the UK harking back to the days of the British Empire. It wasn't helped by the fact that many Brexiter politicians and businessmen thought that the Commonwealth and the World would gladly trade with the UK on an individual basis. Why should they? And what advantage is there to trading with the UK when it is not a gateway into the EU? Business is business, and it would always look at the bottom line. Brexiters seemed to have forgotten that, or totally ignored it altogether.

When are Conservative voters going to wake up and realize they are being grifted by millionaires.

[marcelocipriani]

The only positive about Brexit is that it killed the idea of leaving the EU in the rest of the EU. All the EU political leavers in Italy have disappeared. Thanks England for jumping first. Sorry you landed on your face.

A wise man often has doubts. A fool is always certain.

[sumzsaiyan]

I blame David Cameron, his weak spine to confront Farage instead of caving to his threats is what put us in this mess.

[ThomasKing]

Farage should stand trial for his lies.

[riotintheair]

As an American who always thought Brexit was a bad idea from the outside looking in, but I also think the government that implemented Brexit has done a particularly bad job implementing a bad policy.

[olivierpuyou]

I am French and I have to say that our common history has not been strewn with lilies and roses but I am appalled when I see the devastation that Brexit has brought to the UK.
How could the English think that we are stronger alone than with many?
This remains a big question mark for me.

[markmarkson]

Farage claims he knows the type of Brexit that would’ve been great for Britain but he didn’t want to tell anyone or get involved in the process and people still think he’s a serious guy 😂

[marcelloporto]

Nigel Farage was one of the reasons the UK had no say in the EU. He sat there, in Brussels earning a fantastic salary, playing his usual ‘everybody wrong but himself’ and was bulldozed by real Politicians, who fought for their country, rather than planning running away, as he also did when Brexit was attained and he lied, he pulled wool over those who believed bus loads of cash would come with Brexit so he could, as he is still doing blaming everybody but himself. Man has no shame.

[anneporter]

Don't send him here to the US! We've got enough of these guys.

[Tarquin]

Brexit was one of the best things that could happen for the EU. Get rid of the annoying entitled complaining UK and binding EU members closer together in the process.
I hope you will make it out alright and prosper, but I for one am glad you guys are out.
