BREXIT.....

Oh dear. The NYT has collectively lost its **** recently, but this is special even for them.

The author who claims the UK is now racist and xenophobic, btw, lives in Paris. With all the lack of travel recently, you'd not be alone in questioning exactly how he has gauged this. You can bet your last British sterling that if the referendum vote had gone slightly in his favour rather than the other way around, the UK would be significantly less racist and xenophobic than it is now, by way of magic, fairy dust and pure sentiment.

These people that hate Brexit so much and spend countless nights sobbing themselves to sleep over it, really are an odd bunch. They will tell you things like this (which, the author of the above article retweeted): 

They will claim they have no pride in a nationality, but in the next breath, and without any sense of hypocrisy, will claim to be proud Europeans and stand up for the EU anthem (yes, that's a thing).

I've got to agree with @Super_Danny_Allsopp. The irony is that the absolute refusal of many remain-supporting Labour and Lib Dem MPs to even countenance anything other than overturning the EU referendum has led to our links with the EU ultimately being much weaker than they could have been. Remember the indicative votes in parliament under May? A majority for a "soft" Brexit and single market membership was there for the taking, yet this was voted down at every turn by MPs who only wanted a second referendum. The referendum then became Labour policy at the last election, we all know the result (although naturally the "centrist" MPs around Starmer have no intention of shouldering their share of the blame).

The referendum result was (rightly or wrongly) a cry for change. The Tories have been able to co-opt that for their purposes, while a significant part of the "opposition" has spent the last four years chasing its tail and arguing that things were actually fine just the way they were.

Hit the nail on the head.

How is this ever acceptable? Voting for Brexit = killing bees ...was this on the side of the bus?
