Honestly i find it funny. Lets add australia and New Zeeland too! Britain leaves the union "to have trade deals with australia" then australia joins the EU. Would be the funniest shit ever

    I think you give too much credit to the morons who voted for economic suicide. They didn't vote to have deals with Australia, they all thought we were so big and important that the EU would bend over backwards to give us a favourable trade deal even though every single expert on the subject disagreed. The Australia and Canada deals came up only after we shot ourselves in the head.

    Charles de gaule said it best "britain will see the european community only as replacrment to its dying empire and wont ever dedicate itself to it"

    His messaging wasn't exactly super clear in the beginning, which caused a few issues that we are still taught about in history class to this day though.

    Still have respect for the man for resisting the Nazis and staying true to his word on many very significant occasions (like resigning after losing the referendum in 68) and having seen clearly through the USA's intentions, hence the /s.
