Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

@Rascal

I'm good, I know what you are going to say anyway, and it isn't agreeing. That wasn't a personal attack. I have no ill towards you.
 
To be honest and I don't want people to take offence but anyone who voted for Brexit was stupid, we voted to put economic sanctions upon ourselves despite all the warnings about the consequences, and all the consequences have happened or are in the process of happening

Right Wing populism offers simple answers to complex problems and it never works, it's also very divisive they always need an enemy, if they can't find one they invent one like the term "Woke" although the Jewish community will be pleased that they have moved on from them and are now focused on Muslims
“Anyone who voted for Brexit was stupid”
So that includes: Sunak, James Ratcliffe, Richard Branson, James Dyson and many other well known idiots.
 
Remain were only ever offering more of the same and had no cogent policy on immigration. And immigration was the number one reason people voted to leave.
Had Cameron been able to get some / any concessions from the EU on immigration, Remain would have waltzed home.

I expect that played some part but I suspect the result was influenced more by the Brexit campaign focusing on fears (eg immigration and that funding will be freed up if we left the EU),l and played on British exceptionalism, while Remain focused more on the 'boring stuff' (eg benefits of regulations and tariff free trade) and intangibles (e.g. we will lose out on funding for scientific research).
