The vote, according to the remainers. It's those who choose to use the term 'winning '.
Did ask at the time.
What exactly did you 'win' ??
Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

Quite so, although more 'a nation' than 'a bubble'. Scotland hasn't voted for a Tory government since 1955, and rejected Brexit by 62%. I genuinely don't know anybody who voted for it.
Check the glee - QED.

You hadn't reckoned on Pandora getting out.

You might need to check with the users.
But I think there's a touch of irony in the 'winning' expression being used by remainers here.
But never mind them.
What did you personally win.?
That is,
how have you personally benefitted??

Nah, Pandora comes in a box, Pain d'or might be more suitable for a food parcel.

Nice generalisation. Brexit won, and I'm over that.
I think what people who didn't vote 'Leave' get frustrated by, on this board at least, is the explanation as to what has been actually won, other than the vote.
Personally I know plenty of people who voted the other way than me, and out of 8, 5 think they made a mistake, especially the two who worked for De La Rue and lost their jobs.

Thank goodness no one knows my precise location, because a very nice lady from Germany turned up yesterday with an estate car well packed with bread, cheese, and chocolate.
Ostensibly for her daughter's consumption ..
But we'll see about that once she's gone 😋

I enjoyed the Wicker Man reference, in the twitter comments .

Well, that's where the decision making went wrong.
Perhaps people I know chose more wisely for the situation they were in?

I'm afraid I'm going to agree with Shep here...loads who I know voted leave,very few say they regret their decision.Theres the cover of the pandemic that can be used for a while still.The classic it's the same all over Europe,job,food shortages etc.
Im pretty sure a few realize it's a mistake,it's harder to bite your tongue and say feck I regret that.Especially if it doesn't feel like it's affecting you directly.
Sad but true....now the ones that voted for Johnson.One of my oldest friends,union man when I was a apprentice.I never let that go...fecking unforgivable to me.Were friends but he crossed a line !

Not really, it was never going to make that much difference to me in the big scheme of things.
Before you ask I've explained more than once why I voted leave, I also knew whatever negative impact it had wouldn't affect me that much.
