Brexit journey from hubris to humiliation (Gary Younge)

[Ghost Dog]

3. Yeah. Please understand my/our sympathy...

I'm a self-exiled Brit who's been living and learning in Spain these last thirty years (I'll be sixty-four this coming summer). While recognising the weight (el peso, a pesar de los pesares) of all the shared history, of which I have read and discussed a lot (in Spanish culture, good communication is natural)), often, but not always, conflictive, I have seen few expressions of hilarity amongst Spanish people (who historically have experienced, perhaps more than once, "loss of Greatness" ) . More often, I get the sense that my Spanish and other European friends share my sense that we are all witnessing, right now, tragedy.
