From what I've been reading at the more conservative British sites the two people most held responsible for the Brexit are Merkel and Obama, and it is the flooding of the country with Muslims, Gypsies , and free loaders that has really pissed off the working class.
I've seen something like it as a reaction to our local county charity hospital. It is supposed to take everybody but even the local Mexicans say it is impossible to use the emergency room for emergencies, because it is full of illegal immigrants using the emergency room for primary care.

Interesting read on the differences between Continental Europe and Britain. What struck me most is that Brits, like the Yanks, give more to private charity than the EUps,

It also looks like the Brits may suffer the same thing we do with town "councils" . Here town councils, councils, school councils and such tend to be taken over by ideologues/crooks.

Now it's coming out that the petition to have another referendum has signatures from people who don't live in the UK. A lot of signatures from the far East and suck.

It seems that the further (age-wise, at least) from "Special Snowflake" status, the more likely one was to vote "Leave."

Wasn't it Tam who said "There's two types of countries in the world. Those who use the metric system, and those who've put a man on the moon."

Heh, I always liked that line. Then again:
MALORY: Pah, metric! Who uses metric?
LANA: Every single country on the planet except for us, Liberia and Burma.
ARCHER: Wow, really?
LANA: Yeup.
ARCHER: 'Cause you never think of those other two as having their shit together.

Beginning to sound like the libtards, and their clique are not pleased with the results, and want a do-over. Apparently, they believe that "the beatings will continue until morale improves" is not a joke, but an instruction manual.

Talking head on msnbcbs just said "they voted to leave in order to prevent financial losses, but they have lost more since the grexit vote than in the fifteen years they have been in the EU!"
