AIBU to think the pro-Brexit rally encapsulated the problems with Brexit

Last night's London rally seemed to me to encapsulate the basic problem with Brexit: lots of different groups from the rational and reasonable to the racist thugs, They can't even agree with each other what Brexit is, what type of Brexit they want, and have no common ground beyond wanting to leave. No wonder we're in a position of stalemate.

Self interested middle class agitators winding up the working class and telling them they're being undermined by an elite which is exploiting them. The elite is actually funding this dissent, out of sight, cackling away at their success and laughing at the working class. Disaster capitalism? Brexit vote?

The reason why its a shit show is that the dyed in the wool anti elite has now unironically come down on the side of multinational neolibs.

The gotcha in this situation is not leavers being fooled by the elite, its the fact that those apparently aware of the situation are now full on neolib championing GDP figures and being on the same side as multinational tax avoiding businesses and big banks.

The next GE is going to be fun, the mental hoops some are going to have to jump through is going to be an embarrassment
