You may have heard about the UK’s decision to leave the EU. Hell, you might even be one of the lovely people who voted for it. It’s tough out there for you Brits; no one knows what is going on. Even your political pundits aren’t shocked anymore.

Why would you want to go to Europe after this? Forget that package holiday to Benidorm, who needs it? Try something a little further afield. We understand. Our prime minister changes almost daily, but we’re relaxed. That’s because it’s so bloody beautiful over here. No dramas – just palm trees, sparkling shores and rad waves.

Webjet Australia are here to help so you don’t have to stay and deal with the no deal. Get out of the rain and come on over to sunny Australia on one of our $1 international flights, departing daily from all major UK cities!

        17 million UK citizens voted to leave the EU.

        The media trying to spin that 1 million people protesting about leaving is proof the people of Britain overwhelmingly want to stay in the EU is scary.

          Mainstream media is a joke. What’s scary is the influence they have on those unaware or simply unwilling to seek other sources of information. Such as those downvoting these comments!

                @DogGunn: But 17m already voted out, why go protest if they're getting their way? It's pointless. Everyone I know back home wants out, the only thing people aren't keen on is a no deal brexit.

                  All the more reason to have a second referendum with the potential options that are currently in Parliament - including revoking A50, May's Deal, Customs Union or no Deal etc

          yeah the yanks own both parties because Aus is just an aircraft base/ tactical war zone, rich in resources. the yanks hate China so we do now. The fact that our neighbours are becoming increasingly pissed off with our yank utterances is wasted on both parties. Clearly peace with our neighbours is secondary to our owners. But that's ok because we'll just buy billions of dollars worth of weapons from them and bankrupt ourselves in the process like the uk. Then we will become as callous as the English, who starve millions, torture their sick and disabled, and abuse their children - oh wait we already do some of that don't we….

        So you're going to say that democracy failed because you didn't get the result you wanted and you're going to blame far right propaganda rather than people not wanting to have local legislation controlled by an unelected cabal of foreign elites?

        I see you are channeling your inner CNN, blame everyone but your own leftist paragons who lost touch with the will of the people (who the blame squarely lies).

              @c0balt: You entirely missed my point.

              You are blaming the victims rather than the people who influenced them to vote in such a way, which has now put everyone into this pickle as they now cannot agree among themselves as to how to perform enact said act.

                @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: No, I understood your point which is why I combated it with examples of people who were 'victims' of Trump's 2016 election win.

                People have this thing called personal responsibility. People own the decisions they make (collective or not) and if you view yourself as a 'victim' because of a democratic vote in a democratic society means that work will need to be done to follow the will of the people, I would say that there's greater personal problems in your life than if you remain in the EU or now.

                    @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: They didn't run over someone with their car and do a runner. The pollies are doing what they always do and argue about semantics on taxpayer dime while Corbyn is happy about any news that takes away from the spotlight on the rampant antisemitism in his party which he condones = the status quo.

                    There are no victims in this case. There's no one to blame. It's time to move forward on the will of the people and work out the kinks that need to be worked out.

                    • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 01/04/2019 - 12:48

                      @c0balt: The pollies asked the people to support them being run over by a car and doing a runner. The people then voted for it. The people are now realising being run over by a car maybe not what they signed up for in the first place.

                      Very possible chance of a second referendum now that May's latest deal is dead.

                      kinks

                      ROFL that's the understatement of the year - saying the current Brexit issues are merely kinks. I had a good chuckle :)

                        @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: No, the people are still overwhelmingly in favor of Brexit as witnessed by less people signing a form to remain in the EU than voted for it originally.

                        They don't want any deal, they just want out of control from a kabal of unelected foreign elite bureaucrats.

                      @c0balt: Seriously, you think this complete cock-up is the will of the people? You think they would've voted for this. The "kinks" are quite serious. I was listening to an Irish comedian and he said the border runs down some roads in Ireland. His comment was "get out the passport we are going to overtake this guy". The vote was 52% go to 48% stay, with a lot of people not voting. I would suggest the majority of those were people who assumed it would be stay and couldn't be arsed. If they redid the vote and it still came out yes, then fair enough but this is such a mess they should make sure it is, actually, the will of the people. Two of Nigel Farage's children have German passports so they are making sure they aren't affected by this mess.

                        I'm glad you get your political nuances from Irish comedians, because you as you seem to believe - they are known for their statistically significant studies, rather than making jokes.

                        The people from the UK that I've spoken to about Brexit have wanted this for a long time.

                        • try2bhelpful on 01/04/2019 - 13:08

                          @c0balt: The vote was 52% to 48% with a lot of abstainers. Before the vote the leavers were saying if this was the result, the other way, it would be too close to be considered as valid. Holding another referendum shouldn't be a problem then, should it? The populous will vote, overwhelmingly, for this mess and then they can move forward. Did your friends know this mess was going to play out when they voted or did they just believe the Brexiteers? The point the Irish guy was making was very valid, the issues associated with separation are huge they aren't "kinks". The best humour has the sting of truth in it; and this is a mighty big sting.

                            I'm sure we all have times that we stay awake at night thinking of the mistakes we made, if you believe Brexit to be a mistake then chalk it up to a learning experience, but for the people that wanted to leave - let them have their result.

                            The kinks don't matter at all, they just want out of the thumb of a kabal of un-elected rich bureaucrats in a foreign country. They want control over their own destiny and not part of a globalist, leftist/progressive totalitarians that the EU are.
