I think this is one of the most apt political quotes I've seen in a long time (assuming "bog" is the bathroom/loo/restroom/etc.) QFT.
On topic: As an American, I have little understanding of the UK/EU politics. I agree with some others here though, the people had a vote and decided they want out. Sometimes it's less painful to rip the bandaid off than try to peel it off slowly.

Nobody is talking about the removal of her monarchy and she is still far and away the world's largest landowner, with her 6.6 billion acres across the planet. Europe has been that families plaything for centuries really.
