The British pastime of sitting around and making fun of just how dumb and stupid Americans are is a pastime in which they can no longer partake. After voting to Exit, Adam from Manchester right there on live television on the BBC said, "I'm a bit shocked to be honest. I'm shocked that we actually voted to leave. I didn't think that was going to happen. My vote – I didn't think was going to matter too much because I thought we were just going to remain. The David Cameron resignation has blown me away to be honest. I think the period of uncertainty we're going to have for the next few months has been magnified, so I'm quite worried."
This was the biggest vote Brits are ever likely to cast, and those who couldn’t be bothered to do their homework before taking the test learned a hard lesson about preparation.
About eight hours after the polls closed, Google reported that UK searches for “What happens if we leave the EU?” had more than tripled to become the #1 asked question on the search engine. Google Trends also reported that the #2 question was "What is the EU?" Ah, those wacky British millennials.
Mandy Suthi, a first generation Brit of immigrants, and immigration being the prime mover of the Brexit referendum, stated, "I wish I could go to the polling station and vote to Remain. Obviously the facts are coming in, our eyes are open to what is happening." Her whole family voted to leave.
The morning after the vote, Chloe Tweeted - "Thanks for screwing over the younger people of this country who couldn't vote..." Chloe is a 22 year old student who voted to Exit, by the way.
Aimee Horton, a 20 year old student with no kids Tweeted, "Can't comprehend that the older generation has been allowed to dictate the future of my kids." Aimee with two ees voted to Exit, by the way.
JK Rowling of Harry Potter fame isn't exactly a millennial, and voted to stay, and ripped every Brexiter a new one calling them all, each and every one of them, "a bunch of mini-Trumps" because, apparently, calling them mini-Hitlers wouldn't be insulting enough.
The foreign-born population of the UK has doubled in the last 20 years, from 1993 to 2014. That's the impetus behind the referendum. And it's why Trump is going to be the next president. People are fed up with the establishment.
In the UK, though, they're also a little fed up with some of the rules being placed on them by Brussels that apply to the entire EU. Things like children under 8 cannot be allowed to blow up a balloon without adult supervision. Bananas and cucumbers are to be "free of abnormal curvature" and are not to be sold to the public if they are too bendy. Vacuum cleaners with motors higher than 1600 Watts had to go, because they were unsafe, and children under age 12 cannot operate a vacuum cleaner of any wattage.
