I'd always assumed Brexit was about trying to reason with people who were economically illiterate or racist (or both). Today (listening to @JuliaHB1) I realized my mistake. Brexit is a religion. You can't reason with Brexiters any more than you can reason with creationists.https://twitter.com/Schroedinger99/status/1010110274056028162 …

Yep. I've had a nap. A night's sleep in fact. And I still don't get it. What is this thing called "sovereignty" you crave at any cost to other people's lives? The entity you wish to be sovereign (i.e. the UK) may well cease to exist in its current form as a result of your project
-
I see the people who currently have a large measure of control over our lives: May, Mogg, BoJo, Grayling, IDS et al making (what I think are) appalling choices. How is that fact that they are not Belgian make any of this better for "us"?
-
How does the fact I share "Britishness" with them give me more control in this "us" you talk of that will have more control once we damage our economy, lose our own freedom of movement, and make life a lot more difficult for people like my (German) wife?
-
And what will "we" do with this "sovereignty" and "control" once "we" get it back? (You certainly don't want to let any of "us" - parliament or people - use these new powers to reconsider Brexit.) What actual concrete decisions will "we" then make that "we" can't make now?
-
Soz to bombard your TL w mentions (from me & others) like this, but the suffering thereby inflicted on you (of having to scroll thru lots of tweets) doesn't really compare w the suffering you are already visiting (though it's barely begun) on millions of the "we" who are not you.

Dr Mike sounds like a proper knob, I am neither racist or illiterate, I am however thrilled it is pissing idiots like you off to such a huge degree. Sooner we are out the better

Your single brain cell a bit exhausted after spouting that cretinous nonsense?
