Thank you for being polite and not abusing me personally.
Thee were, sadly, millions of vocal, obnoxious remainiacs who used every opportunity to elevate themselves ("look at me everybody! I'm not a racist!!)" and, just in case that wasn't enough to make their moral grandstanding noticeable, belittling their fellow citizens ("Oh, but that old man over there. He is a racist!!).
This strategy, though a temporary boost for their own personal profile, was massively damaging on a number of levels.
It created bitter divisions in society.
It created the false impression that Britain is an awful racist hell hole full of knuckle dragging scumbags. I like to think it's a liberal minded tolerant country. So do many of the people who come here. Otherwise, why would they bother?
Thirdly, the awful false posturing and misrepresention by the Remainiacs sent a message out to all the guests in our country. The subtext was that they are not welcome.
Now, I accept that they probably didn't do that deliberately. Being approval junkie narcissists, they were probably only thinking of themselves.
But by insisting that the vote was about hating foreigners, they unwittingly sent the most poisonous message possible to every visitor to our country. It was the Remaininacs that insulted people across the globe, from Caracas to Kuala Lumpur, because they kept putting the message out that 52% of the British population hates them.
Completely untrue. How could they possible know the voting intentions of 17 million people they had never met and, by their own admission, people they would never bring themselves to talk to anyway.
So, well done Remainiacs. I hope you are proud of your instant judgements and juvenile posturing. Nice work.
If they were truly as literate and intelligent as they made out, they'd have been able to articulate their arguments without recourse to the dirtiest trick in town, exploitation of racial sensitivities.
That's what pisses me off
