Wait for the singing overweight female......
It'll be well & truly over by then.

I'm not sure Europe really gives a feck about us tbh, it's a big place and we seem to only be known for football and alcoholism.
I'm neither of those!
Not retired, been self employed for 25 years and don't have time to read papers!

To be fair to the 27, they are considering how much damage trying to deal with the self-harm might do to themselves.

Are you playing football as well as boozing in Malta then?
Oddly I'm not even boozing. It's nice here, I'm not trying to block out reality!

Ah.
That's a shame. I'm rather fond of my lifetime.
Still, i will try and comfort myself with your preceding 'Yes!', and try and forget your caveat.

Abstract
In this article, we uncover a network of Twitterbots comprising 13,493 accounts that tweeted the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, only to disappear from Twitter shortly after the ballot. We compare active users to this set of political bots with respect to temporal tweeting behavior, the size and speed of retweet cascades, and the composition of their retweet cascades (user-to-bot vs. bot-to-bot) to evidence strategies for bot deployment. Our results move forward the analysis of political bots by showing that Twitterbots can be effective at rapidly generating small- to medium-sized cascades; that the retweeted content comprises user-generated hyperpartisan news, which is not strictly fake news, but whose shelf life is remarkably short; and, finally, that a botnet may be organized in specialized tiers or clusters dedicated to replicating either active users or content generated by other bots.
What a time to be alive!

I reckon you could have a good forty years left, so around 2060 for the Brexit benefit to begin to arrive, if all goes well?

Man, i'm toast within twenty at the very upper end. I'm almost continually surprised i'm still here at all.
I'm hugely unconvinced that this is a 'you don't plant a tree to sit in its shade' type of situation.
I'm awaitin' some convincin', but it don't appear to be forthcomin'.

And not difficult to set up. I set up a twitterbot a few months ago, mainly as a challenge to myself to see if I could do it and to have the method ready in case I saw a use for it. Anyone on Twitter can see it in action - try tweeting something with the phrase "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" in it and you'll get a quite predictable reply. (This is version 2. Version 1 replied to a tweet containing the phrase "down with this sort of thing".)

You never will be convinced!
The safe, easy option was to remain, to leave always was and still is a gamble but that is not to say it won't or can't work.
If all I cared about was the financial impact leaving would have I would probably have voted to remain, that is not saying that we would definitely have been better off staying in EU because that we don't know yet.
Even back in the 1975 Common Market referendum I was against staying in even though it was only a trade organisation at that time not the fledgling USE that it has become.

See you say that, and then you say...
... without giving any kind of reasoning as to how, why, or when it will.
If you are so vehemently opposed to the EU, one would have expected more 'fleshing out' of your solution to your perceived problem. If you were so set against in '75, you've had 47 years man!
Have you thought of nought in the intervening?
