Can Remainers explain this?

If you are a Remainer who believes Britain needs to be part of the EU, can you just explain which country was the most powerful in the world in the 1800s?

What’s that got to do with anything?

MyThreeWords · 28/11/2025 21:30

Got to agree with the OP that time-travelling EU membership might not be a good idea. Too many imponderables.

museumum · 28/11/2025 21:32

Why is that in any way relevant?

Octavia64 · 28/11/2025 21:33

France?

RacingAcrossTheSofa · 28/11/2025 21:33

I could list one or two differences between 1800 and today in world politics and economics if that helps?

feathermucker · 28/11/2025 21:33

What the fuck has that got to do with anything? 😆

Clearinguptheclutter · 28/11/2025 21:34

What?

Amiable · 28/11/2025 21:34

What about the 1600s, or 3000BCE? Asking that question would be just as relevant 🤦‍♀️

MNLurker1345 · 28/11/2025 21:35

@Octavia64, no no no no! It’s Britain!

PatChaunceysFruitCake · 28/11/2025 21:37

OP, you’ve won the internet for me today. Opened your post and laughed out loud. Full belly laugh at the level of batshittery.

I think this person and the eyeball cleaning person were seeing who could get the most replies. Eyeball is definitely going to win. Good try though.

MurdoMunro · 28/11/2025 21:41

Do I get a plantation? Don’t spoil it by going all woke on me and tell me I’ve got to pay people n shit, that’s well subrexitty.

MyThreeWords · 28/11/2025 21:43

What about Spanish Remainers.Can they explain which country was the most powerful in the 1600s? Roll on Spexit so they can get their Armada back

catontheironingboard · 28/11/2025 21:48

We didn’t have international airline safety standards in the 1800s either. I can’t imagine why not; but surely that means we should do without them, too. Good idea, OP!

Eyeball cleaning? Please tell me it is just about eye drops!

Thanks for the laugh 😃

Great Britain was due to its global empire, naval dominance and the start of the Industrial Revolution. So what? We no longer have a global empire or naval dominance and industry has been in decline for decades. We need to be part of the EU more than ever.

SpottyAardvark · 28/11/2025 22:18

Given that the U.K. was fighting wars against the French for most of the C19, rather than trading freely & co-opeating industrially & militarily with them (ever heard of Airbus?), I fail to understand the relevance of your question, OP. To anything…

Oh that’s just wonderful work. 👏🏻

We all know that Brexit loons suffer from pathological nostalgia but that’s taking it to quite the extreme, OP.

Happyher · 28/11/2025 22:22

As a remainer I have no idea why you are asking that question. Which country was the most powerful in the world in 1970?

222days · 28/11/2025 22:24

I wonder if the Austrians and Hungarians are pining after a Delorian to return to the late 19th Century.

As for the Italians, presumably their preferred rewind would be around 1500 years?

Let’s not even get started on the Greeks.
