I seem to recollect that winning involved a gain of some kind.

Ah, but then you are forgetting 'principals'. You can try to fight the
local council over a 30 pound parking ticket, run up thousands of
pounds in costs. But that doesn't matter as long as you 'win'.

Throwing balls into jars in a firground for instance got you a stuffed
toy.

Or a goldfish in the old days the Brexiteers want to take us back to.

Not a lot of use really but it didn't involve you losing your
rights, losing your right to be represented by parliament on the whim
of a lying unelected dictator.

Quite.

Winning didn't involve losing trade agreements that a considerable
amount of the workforce depended on for jobs.

When the world is burning and countries bristling for fights with each
other and people are dying for the sake of clean water and all we need
to be doing is pi$$ing £1M away every day on some minority interest
crusade.

Leave won nothing. Leave gave away their rights, their democracy and
their credibility in the world.

And they didn't really win either, especially if they only get a
diluted version of what they thought / hoped / guessed / dreamed.

If winning involves only a fraction of the Yellowhammer outcome,
Gamblers anonymous must be entirely populated by winners.

It wouldn't be populated by fanatic Brexiteers, they don't realise
they have a problem of course ...
