How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

[City Hobgoblin]

Watching the BBC thing about Brexit and all these entitled knobs dropping the F word and laughing like it's a trivial matter which we have long recovered from.

So we should have been. We had the second largest economy.

Just watched Episode 1 of Brexit - A Very British Civil War - what a bunch of scoundrels were involved.

Personally I’d have said ‘gimps’.

We never were an equal party. We had rebates, concessions and terms that benefitted us more than any other nation-and still it wasn't enough for 52%.

The problem was that those pushing to remain were too fucking useless to explain the benefits of remaining in simple terms, or even in short snappy slogans.

I don't disagree.But trying to sell the status quo against the promises of sunny uplands and the right wing media was never going to be easy. You just had to hope that the electorate wasn't taken in by the lies. Unfortunately 52% were.

Those 'pushing to remain' (Cameron etc) were really on the side of the leavers ..

Whatever was said in support of remain, it was dismissed as project fear, which grabbed the headlines in the media that overwhelmingly supported brexit.

The blitz of misinformation on social media about the EU in the two weeks before the vote, promoted by Cambridge Analyitica with their Russian backing, turned the tide in favour of leave

I kind of agree the message to remain wasn't pushed hard enough, but it was never going to be heard with such a barrage of anti EU bullshit filling peoples heads from all angles.

It was depressing after the referendum hearing so many leavers say 'I knew what I was voting for',
