I'm sick and tired of seeing "they deserve it because they voted for it".
Leave voters do NOT make up the majority of the WHOLE population ANYWHERE in the UK..
If you consider those who couldn't vote, didn't vote etc. then Leave is always in the minority.
But EVERYONE suffers.

Blame the truth-twisting politicians, the complicit right-wing media, the pet economists and rogue business leaders, the firebrand opinion-makers, etc.. They deserve 100% of your rage.
But stop dumping on entire populations! They're trapped in the same sinking ship as all of us.

- This isn't meant to give a free pass to all Leavers. Those still openly gloating in 2021 deserve what's coming to them.
- Ditto for the racists, xenophobes, etc. This is about the 2016 referendum vote, not a wider "get out of jail free" pass.

All these conversations presuppose that Leave is an amorphous blob of 17.4 million people who all think and behave in lockstep.
That's the narrative pushed by the Brexiter weasels (who should have maximum anger directed at them) but it's not TRUE.
And that should still count.
