Here's an article about my coining of the word #brexit. See how the tragedy stems from the British political establishment's failure at any time to champion the fact that Britain was the leading power in the EU. 1/
I'm a Liverpool supporter. Imagine if all our supporters were told by Klopp that the team wasn't in fact top of the league but near the bottom. That the Premier League was run instead by enemies from Arsenal and Manchester City who made up rules to keep us from winning... 2/
Imagine then if Klopp then persuaded us that Liverpool, despite everyone else saying what an amazing team we were, said the best thing for the team was to leave the Premier League altogether. 3/
And then he puts it to the vote saying it'll be much better to play on our own or try and set up a new Premier League or better still go back to the old First Division when Shankly was king and Liverpool won everything. Other teams will abandon the Premier League and join us 4/
And then Liverpool supporters vote for this and celebrate the great news that on January 31st our victimised team are finally taking back control.
Meanwhile everyone else is saying wait you're top of the league, a great team, we love you, why would you want to do this? 5/
And we say actually we don't know but let's get it done anyway. We can survive.
And the football world looks on in confusion as to why Klopp thought the best way of leading the club was to tell everyone it was shite, bullied, powerless.
That is the insanity of #Brexit
One postscript to this crazy #brexit thread. Liverpool fans would of course never vote to leave the Premier league because they can see with their own eyes the statistical evidence that Klopp's men are top of the league, have not lost a game and are a massive side 1/
Sadly the Brits had no such visible evidence. No pundit told them only 10% of UK laws derived from Brussels, we won 95% of votes, and had huge influence to shape our continent with our allies.

We need a league table now to show how #brexit Britain will fare.
