NZ is not in EU, FYI.
Brits planning to move to New Zealand... hate to break it to you, but we're not in the EU either. #brexit

Isn't it ironic?
The irony of the colonisers not liking it when different coloured foreigners come in and look like they're taking over the place #brexit

Scotland might leave the UK. ironic if UK's leaving the EU led to the destruction of itself. Leave a union, destroy a union. #Brexit

But what about the cheap booze?
Brits are waking up hungover today with the realisation that they will no longer be able to buy cheap booze from Europe.#Brexit

Time to hope for Scottish or Irish ancestry…
Anyone else with a uk passport wake up today and wonder if they can dig up a Scottish or Irish grandparent from somewhere?!
— Catherine Walbridge (@cjwalbridge) June 24, 2016
Well, that's one way of putting it…
It's amazing to think of all the advisers and analysts the EU has then Juncker stands up and says "We faked all our orgasms" #Brexit
