I don't care if you think my terminology lacks impact, if it fits, I use it.

I don't revel in anything, I just don't care to waste my time being touchy feely with people who, like Twosugars said, place blind faith above knowledge.

Reality is a harsh bitch and it's gonna come down on the Brexiters whether they've buried their heads in the sand or not. Better to face it head on knowing everything there is to know then to cover their eyes and hope for the best. The train that is the Brexit mess has left the station, we can't take it off the tracks without constantly repeating the process of leaving and remaining. There's no point in convincing people who choose ignorance over reality. The best we can hope for is that, when this train crashes, it doesn't burst into flames so we can fix it. The crash has to happen but knowing a crash is coming let's us be better prepared for it.
