    An economy based on financial services isn't a good thing, darling

    Unfortunately, it appears the leave campaign had no more plans for leaving the European Union than a dog chasing a car has to drive it."

    May I ask, why are pro-EU types obsessed with blue passports?

    Did you read that one in James O'Brien's book?

    It's literally the only thing that's been announced as a 'Brexit win'.

    Nope, it's a quote from Gary Younge. Doubt he writes anything aimed at you. Which journalists do you follow Erik the Incel?

    A handful of ****s will make a lot of money, most normal people will lose out.

    The mongs on here will clap like seals until it dawns on them that their ****ty lives are about to get even ****tier.

    I'll just be sitting here laughing at them

    It's incredible how those that have sobbed their little hearts out for years, reckon everything is going to be terrible, but they'll be the ones laughing.

    I've seen **** all evidence to support the claim that the whiny tarts will ever be happy. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    They knew exactly what they voted for Mick, and get very upset if you ever say they didn't.

    What about it do you think is a 'win'?

    Usually, any journalist who 'aims' his work at a particular demographic isn't really worth bothering with. Any journalist worth his salt writes as dispassionately as possible, as often as possible. Also, is Gary Younge the guy who looks like one of those mushroom thingies from Super Mario? Or is that someone else?

    I don't 'follow' any journalists, because the overwhelming majority of journalists are patently careerists who fall into a certain manner of writing that makes them money and stick with it like a dog with a bone.

    Unlike some, I also don't see the latest news as an opportunity to 'support' like a football club a viewpoint to which I am attached. As I endeavour to be non-partisan, preferring knowledge of the truth to emotionally-comforting interpretations thereof, I like to get a broad overview of the news from a range of sources. As such, I read the websites (generally not the print editions) of most major newspapers and TV stations, from the Telegraph and the Guardian to the BBC and Al Jazeera. If something piques my interest, I browse the web for extra information on the topic to ensure I haven't been duped by journalistic one-sidedness.

    And that's just mean, frankly

    <wah>

    80 polls have been taken on Brexit since referendum day. One has been a tie, 79 have shown a majority for Remain. Talk about buyer's remorse.
