I'll be interested to read our Brexiteers views on the above.


Brexiters don't even care if it's true or not. Just as long as they
can be shouty, angry and win. it's populism, it's nationalism, it's
post-truth politics.

Only a remainer would say something like that.


The irony is that that is exactly what remain is - post truth politics.

Just as long as they can be shouty, angry and win. it's populism, it's
nationalism, it's post-truth politics.

Only in this case its the EU representing the national entity.

How many people waving Jacks on the streets? How many waving EU flags?

Leave DID win.

Really?

I seem to recollect that winning involved a gain of some kind.
Throwing balls into jars in a firground for instance got you a stuffed
toy. 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.

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

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

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

That is a very selfish attitude.

However, if you must see some 'win', then how about the no longer being
associated with the duplicitous EU?
