Interesting analysis here from the Brexit Brigade. Although maybe the group noun for Brexit supporter should be an embarrassment of Brexit supporters.
Anywho, it is utterly laughable that a bad Brexit would bring down the middle classes and the rich. It’s not a zombie apocalypse. We’re not moving to a barter system.
I’m one of those middle class lefties that MarcusCrassus sneers at.
And guess what? A bad Brexit probably wouldn’t touch me. We own our home outright, have a fair few assets and both work in professions that will weather the storm.
And it is the same for all of my friends and acquaintances. Many who own their houses outright and are either retired or work in industries where they could ride out a storm.
So, the worst thing to happen to me might be less travel to Europe. One holiday instead of two.
Hey, it might even be easier for my daughter to get into uni without all those EU students.
On the other hand, a bad Brexit for those on the breadline, renting, in insecure employment etc, is going to mean homelessness, job loss and a massive drop in the quality of life.
And I am therefore totally against Brexit. It is an utterly stupid, self inflicted wound that had been forced on the country by swivel eyed ideologues like Jacob Rees- Mogg.
Stop pretending you care about the poor and working class when you’re supporting the worst thing to happen to them in this lifetime. You are not revolutionaries.
After Brexit the rich will still be rich, the middle class will still be well off and the poor will be fucked.
