    I’ll give some of the “change it from the inside”ers, the benefit of the doubt that they were going for swing votes.

    The Russians spent a lot of time and money convincing the UK rubes to leave too, but they still fell for it.

      I was there: the cunts pushing that shit the hardest were born and bred posh British politicians and they were given plenty of airtime and newspaper space for literally decades, well before the actual Referendum.

      Blaming Russia is just more of the usual “blame foreigners” scapegoating. In fact, “blame the EU” use to be the most common way to excuse the problems in their country until Brexit.

      First step to solve the problem is admit you have a problem, not blame everybody else.
