      Don’t just blame Boris, blame the entire Conservative Party and whatever Farage was spewing to stay in the red tops.

      It’s genuinely terrifying how close the vote was.

      Wwe were failed by those championing remain too. They lost the argument.

      And yes, I know. Populism, Farage etc

      The depressing thing is that many of those people who hold the opinion that Brexit has been a failure, believe that it’s a failure because it ‘wasn’t done right’ and not that it was an utterly stupid and futile enterprise in the first place.

      A decade lost to this crap already.

      I blame Nigel Farage for shit-stirring and lying. And I blame David Cameron for gambling on this in the first place.

      Nobody blaming Cameron for gambling the nations’s future on a bid to keep his party together?

      Maybe they should have thought about it first .
      Nothing worse than listening to people who voted for it trying now to act like it’s someone else’s responsibility.

      Farage is more to blame than Boris. Only an idiot believed that Brexit was a good thing for this country.

      And if Boris were somehow still leader of the Tories or a populist right party/movement, 4 in 5 Brexit voters would currently be blaming someone else.

      I blame the voters – especially those protest voters who thought we would be staying in anyway! And old people with rose tinted glasses – most of whom are dead now but affecting us past the grave.

      Corbyn had a huge part to play. He was leader of the opposition when Brexit went down. This is never mentioned.

      I hate Johnson and he was the worse pm at the worse time for the uk…but that is like blaming the hotdog vendor when your team is relegated.

      His oven ready deal was just the may deal with a plan to renege on it later. There is NO good Brexit. It’s not possible to deliver the vague soundbites they were promised. You can’t replace EU trade my trading with Australia (on worse terms!), you can’t have a country with zero regulations having untapped access to a regulated market, you have less sovereignty as the rules you need to adopt are dictated to you without a say.

      Painting a crown on a pint glass or telling everyone it’s worse somewhere else (it isn’t!) isn’t a win…but it’s literally the best you can do

      I think Farage, the ERG, Cameron, Johnson and Cummings are all equally culpable.

      Oh look, they’re all right wingers 🤔

      The Tories bungled the whole thing from the start.
      Cameron – No plan should the country vote to leave.
      May – Triggered article 50 without having a plan in place and was on the back foot with the negotiations. Plus, she was stabbed in the back in order for Boris to sweep in and save the day.
      Johnson – oven ready deal? Oven ready bollocks more like.
      Farage – even though that man’s name is giving me the creeps never mind mentioning his involvement in the whole farce.

      It would have taken a generational, incredibly talented politician to make a success of Brexit. We don’t have any of those. We decided instead to send somebody on a fool’s errand doing many fools’ bidding.

    19. jthechef on

      what about blaming the idiots that voted for it in the first place! Not that I can stand Boris but there would have been no need for deals if we hadn’t been stupid in the first place!

    21. ExpertSausageHandler on

      I feel like people forget that Angela Merkel’s “wir schaffen das” was really the straw that broke the camel’s back with regards to public demand for a split from the EU. Yes Farage capitalised on it but the decisions of some EU leaders also failed us.

    22. NoYouCantHavePudding on

      Farage for using populist politics in its worst possible form to sow division, (the rise of UKIP), Cameron for letting it happen without properly planning for the worst outcome and putting party before the people, then Johnson for being a massive self serving tit.

    23. bahumat42 on

      There’s plenty of blame to go around
      Cameron for putting it to a vote
      Boris and farage whipping up support based on lies
      Decades of anti EU sentiment among the media
      People too lazy to do less than an hour looking into it before voting.

      So much blame to go around

    24. NotSayingAliensBut on

      Theresa May deserves more blame than she has received. She could have said, right, we’ve had this advisory referendum, the government will now set up a working party to look into feasibility. But she tried to save her own skin. Gutless coward.

    26. DPBH on

      It’s easy to blame Boris rather than admit the concept itself was flawed from the start. It ignores the people who spent decades trying to discredit the EU and its benefits.

      It also gives Farage and his supporters a way of distancing themselves from the failure.

    27. lambdaburst on

      There’s more than one dipshit grifter at fault. Nigel’s obviously to blame, but Boris was such a clownshow that everything he did just smacked of rank, amateur incompetence.
