Regardless of whether or not you think Brexit is a good idea, I think we can all agree that they've fucked the process right up. But it's not even the Brexit mess itself that's so satisfying to watch, it's the identity crisis it's caused. Poms are finally coming face to face with a reality they should have faced a long time ago - that their shitty little island is weak and irrelevant.
Poms have always tried to cling on to the idea that while they aren't the empire they once were, they were still a global power. In truth, the UK is no different to my stupid country that still bows to your silly Queen. Both of us are stuck being the little bootlicking bitches of the Yanks while being equally economically dependent on Yank rivals (EU for you, China for us). We are like a woman whose husband beats the shit out of her, who is being blackmailed by her husband's enemy to sleep with him, but he also beats the shit out of us. Not a situation that will end well and there's nothing we can do about it because we are powerless and pathetic. Sad!
