Mr Hipster
When you think about it Brexit is basically one big hole in the wall though not the same as a cash machine more the sort of holes that you would find between two toilet stalls. Like Brexit you don't know what is going to come through the other side. But what I do know is that when Brexit sticks it's offer through the wall to the EU during the negotiations it will be small and disappointing and hopefully automatically ejected by the EU leaving this rubbish country outside of the London to fall into abject poverty to their own deserving.

虽然同现金取款机不一样，你认为英国退欧基本上是一个墙上大洞，但你会发现英国退欧如两个厕所之间一样是一系列漏洞。象英国退欧，你不知道通过对方能得到或者失去什么东西，但我知道英国一旦退欧，将在我们这代人同欧盟之间立起一堵墙，英国将变小、令人失望并期望通过欧盟离开而自动退出，这个垃圾国家除伦敦以外的地方将陷入自作自受的赤贫。
