Welcome to democracy, serves you right. I'd have much preferred remain to win too. It's hurting my northern wallet too.
One vote goes against him and he's throwing toys out of his pram. Perhaps he should consider that the people who mainly triggered the exit have had a powerful rejection of their worldview, by London and Westminster, since the 1980s.
If the smug liberals had funded appropriate redevelopment for regions losing ship building, steel, coal or what have you, this mess could have been easily avoided.
I'm surprised it took 40 years of ignoring the issue for the mice to roar.

Allowing the rich and powerful to continuously claim a larger share of the economic pie pits the rest against each other for scraps. I'm not sure the problem is those "smug liberals," but rather the conservative factions in Britain and abroad who would rather perpetuate a humanity at war with itself for their own profits rather than accept a slightly lower standard of living in return for a stable and satisfied populace which sees the greedy mismanagement of the global elite and concludes the only people they can trust are dangerous demagogues who would sooner smash a system to the ground than attempt to fix what the poor and angry perceive as poverty and hopelessness by design.
