Many are deeply embarrassed by this little englander mentality. Ironically it is the opposite of what really put Great into Britain. They are - quite literally - very much Little Britain!
Great Britain is nothing to do with greatness and everything to do with geography.Do your homework before you open your mouth and you won't look like a dick.
HTH...

Oh by the way Brexit is responsible for failed dates. Not the sort you put in date and walnut cake, but dates, with the opposite gender, or same gender if that floats your boat. Apparently folks are getting chatted up and then things going to pot when views on Brexit emerge. So blue balls because Brexit it seems.
Great way to filter out the mental. 
Just lie if you only fancy a quicky.

Thanks for remembering me. I can now confirm I have met a fellow brexiteer in female form. Mothersruin said:
I'm yet to meet anyone who agrees with Vitorio - even those that would prefer remaining understand there are far wider issues.
I feel like adding (for those to whom it isnt apparent yet) that im not a brit myselfEither way, i do hope this all goes well for all parties involved, since the die has now been cast, but from across the small pond, i dont understand the decision.

UK and EU has never been a good fit politically, we think very differently due to our histories. For example we were not occupied during WW1 or WW2 so don't carry the baggage that has left behind politically.

A sensible-ish post, hope restored.Either way, i do hope this all goes well for all parties involved, since the die has now been cast, but from across the small pond, i dont understand the decision.
A50 has obviously created a lot of Remainiac hysteria again today.
But the reality is, there has been no economic recession in the past 1 year, there is no economic recession in any major bank's 5-year forecasts, and pretty much everyone's forecasts are saying the UK will outgrow the EU in the next 10 years.
In other words -- folk need to calm down. Brexit and A50 are actually turning out pretty good.

Well as already put forward we have a lot of history with Europe but have never really been integral in it, with the EU, from my point of view we were a wallet and not much else, the British like the Dutch are proud and at the same time helpful, we may not speak English as well as the Dutch but we try.Either way, i do hope this all goes well for all parties involved, since the die has now been cast, but from across the small pond, i dont understand the decision.
I think a lot of folk are tired of being in something which does not really add value which could not be found another way, however if the EU is spiteful we will be punished for saying we don't want to be part of the federal state.
It will be tough and who knows, however I think our actions might expose the faults in the EU and it might be good for both parties.

There should also be an acknowledgement from the EU that this is probably in their own long term interests as well. The UK has never been a totally committed member of the union, we've never gone through the same experiences as our European neighbours, the horrors of invasion, subjegation and total dictatorial rule of an invading force (at least not in modern times before anyone starts arguing the toss of 1066 and all that).
I was in Poland a few years back and by accident stumbled upon a street display marking the horrors that had befallen some of the local villages under Nazi rule. Britain never experienced anything like that, we've always had the sea to protect us so we cannot understand the strength of support in mainland Europe to look for an alternative, to be governed as one entity rather than again have the potential to be at war with their immediate neighbours.
And the UK has only ever put the brakes on this, been a thorn; our leaving should be seen by the EU as a chance to take their project on to the next level with a true federalisation of mainland Europe now more of a possibility.
