It feels like something from a Franz Kafka novel.

I don't blame them. Eight years of nagging, whinging, moaning. Who hasn't let a child win at a game, sport, etc. just to shut them up because they are bad losers? You can't expect a six-year old or a remain voter to understand the concept of democracy.

Anyway, the countdown to a complete collapse of the EU has already started. 

(My earlier comment about the UK coming to the rescue of Europe, yet again, seems to have been taken seriously by Nick Clegg.)

Rather, joining the EU in solidarity in this complete collapse. Which of Europe's diseases is the UK going through more smoothly?

Yes, definitely a race to the bottom. We were doing quite badly in this race, but the new government shows promise in that direction.

Nah, that's a bridge too far.

UK SMEs will need an outpost on the mainland going forward, post brexit.

There is no GOP, and they are well past the point of thinking about future elections. The first real constitutional crisis will come with the Supreme Court, since two of his flunkies just strapped on external spine support and overruled him on stopping the disbursement of certain foreign aid payments. I don’t think Elon will stand for that.

Larger than Europhiles, by 52:48. But it is definitely true that there is more diversity among Brexiteers. See one Europhile, you’ve seen them all.
Standardisation does have its benefits.

Indeed. That’s why socialists want everyone to be the same. On the other hand, variety is the spice of life.

My Eton/Cambridge educated neighbour became an ISO 9001 consultant for factories in Norn Iron. One group of workers used cm and the other inches.

I trust you get a warm cozy feeling from realizing that the dynamic duo of Macron and Starmer is all that stands between you and Putin’s nuclear weapons. Oh, and Trump’s…

There are decent schools/universities where they teach multiplication and division.
