I hope @Tony_Harrison80 will write something for Brexit day. I think it's the perfect topic for him. A classically educated sophist exploits northern working-class fears to engineer an act of massive personal and national hubris. Oedipus Brex?

Replying to @keithfrankish @Tony_Harrison80
It seems to me that the hubris here is in dismissive, snooty attitudes to "northern working-class" people's "fears". Appalling snobbery.

No, it’s an expression of genuine fear of the academically socialized middle class. While nobody seems to know yet what Brexit will achieve, every group has very strong opinions about it, which are largely manufactured by PR agencies but but genuinely held.
