Well apart from if you waited 3 years before acting on a perceived need for war you may have missed the boat that is genius! |  |

Most of them would, as they'd like the idea of killing foreigners.
And We Have An Empire. |  |

But you can't argue that we haven't waited 3 years. The reason we have waited is because no one was clear on what was meant by Brexit in the first place.
Cameron ran away, May simply said, "Brexit means Brexit" and Rees-Mogg said we could have 2 referendums to sort out whether we wanted to leave once we knew what the deal was.
What a mess. The only ones who really fear a confirmatory referendum are those who shout loudest that they "won". I wonder why. |  |

Or rather spent three years shouting "War means war", faffing about organising irrelevant street parties (which got rained on), not actually deciding where or who to attack until a few months before D-Day, when they came up with some convoluted plan which even most of their own side disagreed with, before finally discovering they can't even organise the troops to get that into action. |  |

Logged back in just to give that an uppie - brilliant work (esp at nearly midnight, which is quite fitting really ...) | |

the bit starting 'faffing about...' pretty much sums up Operation Market Garden. | |

About the same levels of wishful thinking were involved as with the Brexit imbroglio. | |

I wonder what it is they've won. |  |

Although, to continue the analogy, we'd also have highly motivated and heavily funded populist campaigners saying that Iraqis were a threat to our way of life, they were ushering in Islamism/Sharia law, they're a disease that needs to be controlled before it spreads etc.
So not as straightforward as that. I also think Brexit is way too connected to Britishness for people to detach themselves from it even using facts/evidence. It's a purely emotional and irrational argument for many. |  |
