Do you think brexiters who have died from covid have control

So, you're there one day wanting to dominate all... and suddenly you've been buried or cremated since the party you voted for is just so incompetent its own leader nearly died from the same disease, but it couldn't be bothered to protect you, a hypothetical brexit voter... oops?

Some things in the world are unfortunate, aren't they? Like, not possible to learn from them... but isn't it so symbolic? First they 'celebrated' brexit in Dec, then a few months later they died... some people just can't think well, can they? An understatement to say, of course...

This, obviously, doesn't just apply to a single country, but so many 'strongmen' voters have had the worst outcomes possible (whereas sensible NZ not only very few in comparison, but no cases currently)... do you think they feel 'strong' while dead?

Whilst I voted against Brexit in the referendum, and still think that was the right choice...
...I’m not minded to see any “solace” or “vindication” in the people who voted the other way being so let down by their preferred leadership.

I fail to see a connection between Brexit and Covid-19,not sure what is the point of the post.Bad decisions by leaders may have aggravated Covid-19 and some of those leaders may support Brexit.But there is still no connection between Covid and Brexit.

Bad decisions by leaders aggravated CV in the US and we have no Brexit.I don't get this post

I guess that you have to be a Brit to get WTF the OP is talking about.

If I went on UTube, and encouraged young folks to eat Tide Pods, and I set the example by eating Tide Pods myself. And then in subsequent weeks young folks started to die in droves from eating Tide Pods then that would be a tragedy. But if I died too...then you would be justified in the laughing at my demise.

But if I believed in eating Tide Pods, AND I was politician who also favored the leash laws for dogs- you wouldn't tar all politicians who favor the leash laws just because one of them, me, encouraged people to eat Tide Pods on U Tube.

Counterquestion: do brexiteers think it was worth having bojo the clown muddle through covid, sacrificing tens of thousands of people, so you can now celebrate not having to be part of the s**tshow the EU is becoming in the wake of covid?

I'd be surprised if the EU didn't fall apart over the problems the common currency is creating in this situation right now.

Gloating at dead people isn't a very good look.

Devil's advocate here:

The Conservative landslide victory back in December was won by a leader with a reputation for corruption, incompetence and feckless blundering, whose campaign consisted entirely of "Get Brexit Done!" He had recently purged the higher ranks of the party, replacing ministers with experience, an adequate level of competence and ideas of their own with a pack of untested hard-liners from the lunatic fringe of the party. All of this amply covered in the press.

Millions of presumably sane adults decided that the pros of Getting Brexit Done outweighed the cons of being lead by the sort of man who takes £200,000 backhanders from Russian mafia dons and gets British citizens banged up for espionage in Iran with a slip of the tongue. All of this, I repeat, amply covered in the press. Even the pro-Tory press (which is most of it) have been remarkably full and frank in their depiction of Bozza over the years- he makes good stories for them.

So a hefty percentage of the country, including many of my relatives and colleagues plus a few of my friends, are suffering a catastrophe they directly contributed to. Personally, I'm not gloating. 40,000 dead is a steep price for an "I told you so."
