Arnn also puts it this way: “Fundamental things are afoot.” The noise of china breaking wherever @realDonaldTrump goes and the generalized media hatred for @POTUS obscure huge tug of war underway, but it’s summarized neatly in this @guardian piece re Fmr Tory PM Sir John Major.2
Major carefully and precisely lists his genuine concerns. And then the last graph: “Later in the programme, the former Brexit minister Suella Braverman, who resigned from government in protest at May’s deal, dismissed Major’s comments, describing them as ‘remainer elite views.’”3
“‘Thank you Sir John, but no thanks,’ she said.” That’s it: “‘Thank you Sir John, but no thanks,’ she said.” Complete re Leave’s assessment of “remainder elite views.” “Sod off” might be another construction? There are more colorful ones as well. That’s abroad in U.S. too.4
Everywhere in fact, on every issue. “‘Thank you Sir John, but no thanks,’ she said.” It’s the last line in @guardian piece but it’s more than a quote or a motto. My guess is most Leave folk would say “It’s the whole bloody thing.” 5 theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
