Just had to wait for all the old British voters who supported it to age out.

Very nice way of saying that you can't wait for all those pesky indigenous people to die.

Not a lot of Twue Celtic Britons left these days, waves of Anglo-Saxon settlement, along with Danes and Gaelic-speaking tribes to the north pushed the RealBritons™ back to the tin mines and sea tunnels of Wales and Cornwall.

Sure .. but we're not talking about the UK's colonisation of Australia.

Isn't this missing the forest for the trees? EU as a whole has been crushed by US post 2009, to zoom in and say "recent trend bad!" is really missing the meta issue.

How does it miss the issue? Sure US is doing better than all of Europe, but UK doing worse than EU.

Young *indigenous" (whatever that means in the UK) were overwhelmingly more likely to vote against Brexit. And older people were more likely to vote for it

The vote itself was extremely close, and it won't take many older people dying to swing it the other way. In fact, I think it already has, but not by much yet.

Your "race replacement" argument is just offensive and not what was meant.

We all heard the bad. Can't be all bad. I wonder if there was a sector that had seen a big boost since brexit and not just due to less competition but due to genuine improved efficiency.

> Can't be all bad. Why not?

/s because surely half a country couldn't make a bad economic decision. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Cross channel people smugglers? That seems to be up a lot. Also millionaires leaving - I think the UK is a world leader at millionaire export at the moment. Also foreign passport application processing in London - I recently got a German passport and there's a huge backlog of applications.
