Brexit is such easy pickings for “leopards ate my face” content.

As for Thomas, not sure what to make of him. He seems to recognise the folly of voting for Brexit, but it’s all come a little too late - and only when there was a direct impact on him.

Unawareness is the hallmark of the Leopards Eating Faces Party. ;)

As an Oregonian, I only watched Brexit from a great distance, but the one that shocked me the most was:

I saw that too, along with interviews from various people who clearly has no idea what they were talking about.

Hardly anyone I know who voted for Brexit was able to name our MEPs or to highlight a specific area of legislation that they felt could be improved / should be changed.

As a nation we have a proud tradition of general ignorance, blaming anything and everything remotely unpopular on the EU while utterly failing to engage and understand it.
