"They're starving us"
"They're stealing our business"
"They're colluding with Biden against us"
"They're victimising expats"
"They're trying to destroy the UK"
Brexit has no benefits, except for the rich offshore backers and media owners, and the client politicians who crawled to power off the back of it.
Xenophobia and sits at the very heart of the culture war they constructed to tear down the values-based society the majority want.
This culture war keeps intact their coalition of hate, and you can be absolutely sure that everyone in that coalition will do everything in their power to demonise 'the other' and keep our country imprisoned by their hate.
So please, buckle up and find some way to deal with it.

1. Some in the EU, angry at life-saving contracts not honoured, consider idiot move"
2. Others in EU point out idiot move. EU doesn't do idiot thing".
and GOOD:
1. Some in the UK dupe the people with lies into idiot move 2. Lies exposed. People not allowed to vote on idiot move 3. Idiot move implemented. Business, economy, freedoms shattered 4. We must celebrate our idiot move because the EU cancelled an idiot move!
🤦🤦🤦🤦
#BrexitReality could never win a popular vote unless people have been whipped up into a nationalist frenzy.
They will do their most to fan the flames of every disagreement. Separation. Schism. Anger.
I won't have anything to do with it. And neither should you.
Tanja is right. Conservatives are a minority coalition. Slave-trader statues? Threatening refugees? Ending foreign aid? Starving kids? Signals to keep it intact.
Rage changes nothing. Let's #TakeControl. A majority coalition *will*.
The #BrexitDeal is better than #NoDealBrexit in the same way that shooting yourself in the leg is better than gouging your eyes out with a rusty spoon.
But congrats to the tories who gambled the country to silence the ERG, lost, and reinvented themselves as UKIP to survive.
We now begin a period where the British are second-class citizens in their own continent, less free than Romanians, with less say over our continent than Malta. Where uniquely, British businesses fight with one arm tied behind their backs with red tape, delays and costs.
Our buying power has withered overnight. We're paying almost double for our #COVIDVaccine than EU citizens. Supporters of the #VoteLeave regime demand you clap like seals as their second-rate trade deals trickle in, a notable absence being a US trade deal after 4 years.
