Sonny, I Watched the Vault Bein' Built!
As I said I deliberately stay out of politics, but it seems to me that some of the people who voted for this thing don't actually know what it means economically and just voted for it in order to "stick it to those arrogant intellectual experts with their book learnin' thinking they know what's best." In other words, it looks like some politicians decided to ride a wave of anti-intellectualism all the way to the bank on this one.Isn't that fucking wonderful. Thousands lose their jobs, billions are lost, the government destabilises, science is damaged, all so we can say "Independence day!".
It would also explain that article where Google says its searches for "What is the EU?" from Britain tripled after the actual vote was over.
