I don't give Brexitolics more time than it takes to press block. Enough to be reminded they're all cut from same rag: just different combinations of thick, ignorant, arrogant & bigoted. My job means I'd like to meet a principled/ smart/ informed one. But 25 years & still haven't.
What's more... I know it's perfectly possible to construct a principled & informed argument for leaving EU. Problem is: the real arguments are just soooooo unattractive, compared to the nationalist rantings of Johnson & Co, that no-one would ever subscribe to them.
So better its poor addicts live in a thick, ignorant, arrogant, bigoted parallel universe: surely a faster route to happiness... Oh wait, apparently not, since they're all so angry, aggressive, paranoid & resentful! Even in triumph, Brexitolism is such a debilitating condition.
And for the umpteenth time:
I'm not talking about people who happened to vote leave on 23 June 2016.
I'm talking about the Brexit activists and mouthpieces and ringleaders. AKA Putin's busy little helpers.

Remember: one of their standard tactics is the retort "to insult me is to insult 17 million people..." That's not *just* narcissism. It's also a deliberate ploy to deflect legitimate criticism, by portraying themselves as the personification of an entire population. Pure populism
Just to prove point: Brexit activists unleash torrent of abuse. Including usual tripe - call yourself a professor, you lost get over it, 17 million patriots will crush you remoaner scum blah blah blah. Plus the usual racism & homophobia... But remember: they're not angry bigots!
