What kind of person gloats like a silly, selfish, child over other countries' misfortune?

Oh, a Brexit voter.

I’m guessing the same sort of person that has revelled in every bit of negative news about the U.K. since June 2016.

No remainder can gloat about negative news. However anyone saying the process of Brexit 32 months and counting has improved Britain is not reading the drip drip of negative news.
It is definitely getting worse before it will it or will it not get better.

Brexiters are now counting on reversing the two or three steps back taken in Britain in 32 months being reversed very quickly and then powering on to the sunny uplands they have been promised.

Shame those who promised the sunshine forgot to mention the steps to be taken backward before moving forward.

Pretty ridiculous to link these two statements.

If Europe has problems, that will mean even deeper trouble for the UK. Chinese growth is slowing, the US is becoming more protectionist...none of that suggests Brexit isn't going to have a big impact on us.

The thing is there was supposed to be (according to the Remoaners) clear water between a Brexit blighted U.K. and an EU area that was supposed to power on without us.

Not at all. I voted Remain because I don't want people to lose their jobs in the calamity of a poorly managed Brexit process that will separate us economically and politically from our largest and most important market, as well as our closest allies.

Along with everyone else I am not going to keep quiet about the continual errors, false predictions, and lack of understanding of Brexiters. Brexit is a disaster and anyone who thinks otherwise must be rather misinformed (to be polite).

Someone squawking about Italy being in recession like they are in a football game is the ranting of fools and shows they understand virtually nothing about how economies interact with one another.

The Italians may as well point to the miserable levels of child poverty in the UK and start high fiving each other.

Europes problems will be compounded if the UK slows. The Chinese are becoming less and less reliant on importing foreign goods. Over the years been building the knowledge and understanding to do it for themselves.

The reaction to the Italian recession is based mainly on the fact that according to folk like you Arklight it was the U.K. that was supposed to in recession at this point.
Rabid self-loathing Remoaners moved from genuine concern at Brexit to wilfully wishing the U.K. economic harm months ago.

I'm not sure what a "rabid self-loathing remoaner" is. Have you ever met one?

A lot of Leave supporters seem to have emotional issues that don't have anything to do with the EU. There is a deep seated resentment of foreigners, liberality, education, and modernity from the Brexit hinterlands.

I am not saying this shouldn't be addressed. But it still doesn't have anything to do with our place in Europe.

You people are looking very thin on ideas of what to do next.

Fears over the health of Germany’s economy are mounting, after it suffered its biggest drop in factory orders since 2012. Orders plunged 7% in December compared to a year ago, as German manufacturers suffered from falling demand from overseas.

Germany’s economy ministry warned that there was “muted momentum at the start of the year” too. Some economists fear that Germany could fall into a technical recession, unless demand picks up soon.

In another blow to German industry, the EU has blocked a merger between Siemens and France’s Alstom. Paris is furious, claiming a pan-European rail giant is needed to challenge China.

If you transposed "The UK" for "Germany" in the above quote, remoaners would be out in their droves celebrating the decline of our country. As it's the German economy, they will ignore it.
