They voted for Brexit overwhelmingly

One ignorant tantrum after another, their minds not only closed, but forced shut and locked.

Just like all those ignorant expats living in places like Benidorm or Tenerife, they also voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, then when the hammer of the new strict rules came down on them, that ignorant, bitter and self-satisfied smirk was wiped from their faces.

They all probably still blame everyone around except themselves, as ignorance and stupidity tends to double, triple, quadruple down.

That's not actually true. Over 70% of Brits living in the EU wanted to remain part of the EU. Many of them weren't eligible to vote in the referendum, though, due to living abroad for too long.
