My impressions on the Brexit vote.

I sat watching the results come in last night and the first thing I thought. How orderly and polite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The nice gentlemen and ladies stood at a podium and read the figures all official and everything. Here we wait for figures from an unknown somebody.

And it felt like they were just leaving a party. Birmingham is voting to leave. OK. Nice seeing you. Take care driving on the way home.

Later on I realized that people must really be pissed. Whole swaths of that country had their fill and said FU to the elites.

God forbid that happens here in the US. I will move to England. They are so damn polite.
