Then Winnie asked if perhaps he might come back inside. But his friends were now well miffed by how he had broken wind in their faces upon his Brexit, and decided An Example Would Be Made of him.

Well done, Mr. Bolling ! Succinct satire but spot on explanation of GB’s Brexit. It was a narrow victory for the narrow minded.

In real life Winnie had to give more honey than he got to eat. Real life is no fairy tale.

The Brexit campaign is full of Pooh.

A great parallel between the UK and the US. In the UK voters rejected government and elitist groups vision of the Brit future and now the UK doesn’t know what to do. In the US voters rejected party elitists vision of the next president so neither party knows what to do.

Anyone who wants any limits on immigration is obviously racist, da?

Such lovely friends—what silly bear would want to leave?
Of course, the only reason the Hundred Acre Wood denizens have such a lovely den and yummy tea things is that they’ve spent the past few centuries pillaging and enslaving in the Thousand Acre Forest nearby (also clear cutting it).
And the leftovers on the table there are what’s left after they devoured Roo (i.e. Greece).
And tomorrow they’re all off with Christopher Robin to attack Russia.
Such a lovely party. Silly old bear.

Ooooh boy, are YOU on the wrong side of history. How incredible. A previously underground cartoonist makes some money and begins shilling for the 1% and the Corporatists and Soros.
Oh boy oh boy, how totally sad.

Yes, because nothing stands for equity and social justice than a coterie of unelected bankers and bureaucrats who basically broke Greece’s economic kneecaps and thrashed it’s social safety net when it defaulted on it’s debt, and routinely ignores electoral results on matters of policy from it’s member states.
Jesus H. Christ, if Nigel Farage was against puppy kicking would you be for it just because you hate Farage and his ilk that much?
Do you people stand for anything other than. “I hate the other guy and will vote against him just to spite him.”
You ain’t even the left anymore.
