7. Congratulations Brexiters! In your frothing zeal

to get rid of foreigners, you've sunk the global economy. Really, well done.

[Corporate666]

9. Aren't you leaving, anyway?

I think you have a greatly exaggerated idea of the importance of UK membership in the EU to the global economy.

I know you're a newcomer to the UK, but you may be surprised to learn there has been a diverse group of foreigners here for many years, and nobody thinks they're going to "get rid of them" by voting for Brexit.

But it won't matter when you move over to the mainland, eh?

[Starry Messenger]

10. Yup.

11. "Perfidious Albion" displays its historically isolationist and zenophobic colors once again.

The break-up of the already fractious UK can't be far behind Brexit.

Scotland will vote itself out of the UK and into Europe as a sovereign nation.

Sectarian violence will rear its head once again in Northern Ireland.

Republican/Nationalist factions will force a referendum to opt out of the UK and into the Irish Republic.

England and Wales will end up diminished and isolated.

"Leave" partisans will live to regret this. Or, if not them, their children and grandchildren.

The "leave" faction skewed decidedly older, so their days are numbered. That said, the repercussions of their unfortunate choice will outlive them.

Sad day. Racism, isolationism and nationalism have won this battle.

Perfidious Albion is an anglophobic pejorative phrase used within the context of international relations and diplomacy to refer to alleged acts of diplomatic sleights, duplicity, treachery and hence infidelity (with respect to perceived promises made to or alliances formed with other nation states) by monarchs or governments of Britain (or England) in their pursuit of self-interest and the requirements of realpolitik.
