1) am I a #Brexit Racist?
Let's examine the thinking behind this tweet, which outlines the central "they need us more than we need them" Brexit argument.

Apart from being overly simplistic (we export through the EU as well for a total of 60% of our exports) what does it imply?
2) essentially, this thinking believes that the EU27 will eventually cave for purely monetary reasons, because they won't want to lose our market.

Yet the thinking is we wouldn't cave, if the brexiters were in charge.
3) but similarly (& I've had this conversation with Leavers) if it was France Frexiting, would we in the UK cave to similar demands?

Of course not. The public wouldn't stand for it. Johnson, Redwood, Farage would be the first to demand we don't capitulate

So why would the EU27?
4) so... if you believe that we would never agree to Brexit like demands from other countries, but the EU27 will, for purely financial reasons, then you honestly believe the Europeans are somehow less than us, more craven, less honourable as nations

There's a word for that
