The daily drumbeat of nationalism: Accusations of 'treachery' and 'fifth column' for anyone who does not share their small-minded inadequacies.
Olly Robbins has worked diligently to deliver their vote, on the terms laid out by Brexiters. The government could not have buckled to them far enough.
But it makes no difference. The impingement of reality on their tawdry fucking daydreams always has to be explained away by betrayal and treason.
Farage is a bottomless well of this shit. But I hear it weekly - literally at least once every week for the last 2.5 years - from Brexiters across the political spectrum, from the most respectable and intelligent to the least.
This is the poison of nationalism. It rots the mind, so it cannot address problems as they really exist in the world. And then they fail, as they are failing so spectacularly now. And then they have to find someone to blame.
So they blame foreigners. Tick. And they blame the enemy within. Tick. Same fucking story every time.
