Theresa May. George Osborne.<br \/>\nTony Blair. John Major. The BBC.<br \/>\nThe British told them to f*ck off. The British told them to f*ck off.<\/p>\n<p>If you vote to leave, you\u2019ll lose your job<br \/>\nVote to leave, you\u2019ll lose your home.<br \/>\nThe ensuing recession will last for years<br \/>\nSaid David Cameron. Theresa May. George Osborne.<br \/>\nAnd the Treasury. Tony Blair. John Major. The BBC.<br \/>\nThe Bank of England. Mark Carney. The EU. The IMF. The US president. Saint Obama. Back of the queue. Loads of celebrities. Gary Lineker. JK Rowling. Benedict Cumbertwat. Lord Adonis. Who the fuck\u2019s he anyway?<br \/>\nThe British told them to f*ck off. Seventeen million f*ck offs.<\/p>\n<p>They wheeled in the experts to tell us what\u2019s right<br \/>\nThey gave us the benefit of their foresight<br \/>\nTo leave is calamitous, that\u2019s definite.<br \/>\nFood shortages. No medicine. Planes grounded. House price crash. \u00bd a million jobs lost. Cost of \u00a34,300 to every home. Stock market collapse. Riots. No sandwiches.<br \/>\nThere\u2019d be an outbreak of super gonorrhea. They seriously said that. Donald Tusk at the EU said it would be the end of Western civilization as we know it. I\u2019m not joking. And one more thing. If  you vote to leave, that makes you racist.<br \/>\nThe British told them to f*ck off. Seventeen million f*ck offs.<\/p>\n<p>The vote is final, there\u2019s no going back<br \/>\nAlthough now they want to go back and re-vote<br \/>\nI think we know what the answer will be<br \/>\nTo Gary Lineker. Alastair Campbell. Dominic Grieve. Chuka Umana. Keir Starma. Vince Cable. Anna Soubry (not a Nazi). Rory Bremner. Armando Ianucci. Delia Smith. Steve Coogan. David Lammy. Lord Adonis.
