Brexit was hijacked very early on by thinly veiled Nationalist xenophobes who put their personal agenda before what is really best in the long term for Britain and its citizens. Highly un-Patriotic.
The backbone of Brexit is and always has been badly informed and willfully ignorant people who whipped up insecurities, fears and phobias and spread mis-information to serve their selfish personal agenda. |
'The backbone of Brexit is/has been badly informed because you say so - yep right!
Many labour politicians care little about things like social issues, ethnicity and diversity and what is best for the country and more about creating a nation of future Labour voters hence their keenness to let in hundreds of thousands of those future voters with little thought for the long-term effects on the country. It's all a manipulative pretence in the name of a power grab and political control to serve their selfish personal/political agendas.
High horses are all well and good but do absolutely nothing to make the product of their highly active imagination real.
