A Brexiter complained that Brexit ruined his dream of an Italian retirement, and sympathy was in short supply
It’s more than seven years since the UK voted to shoot itself in the foot, and it’s almost eight years since this brilliant tweet accidentally predicted what would happen afterwards.
'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

The three millionth episode of ‘I never thought leopards would eat my face’ recently dropped with this article.
There was every bit as much sympathy for him as you’d expect – which is to say none.

If you want to know how much sympathy I have for Greg and Steph then think of the biggest number possible and then subtract it from itself pic.twitter.com/JnIyft9BgL

Definitely don’t suggest they were lied to or didn’t know what they were voting for though. https://t.co/QoOvrvqTWI

I have scarce sympathy with this Brexit-voter who says "no one told him" he wouldn't be able to live in Italy
But he does have a point. "Free Movement" was always treated in the media as 1-way – into the UK – despite millions of us who over decades could and did go the other way pic.twitter.com/5I7yRb1lac

A British couple in their 60s who voted for Brexit are now vex that they can't move to Italy and live in a house they bought for their retirement because of post-Brexit travel rules.
Greg Walter and Steph Appleton now feel 'betrayed'.
