    It’s a convenient scapegoat for the neoliberal political class, since it was the only decision actually made by the people. It allows them to throw all the blame on the working class, which they love doing anyway.

          How is this classism? Your original comment also changed ordinary people to working class, which I consider myself to be both part of.

          You are suggesting that Brexit was some fight against some elite. The EU is a neo liberal mess, but the Tories who pushed this through by stoking bigotry are full on fascist and fully just taking advantage of useful idiots like yourself. Disaster capitalism is not a new concept

          Victorian pencil made a fortune out of this shit show.

          And of course David Cameron is laughing all the way as he whistles his way out of power by giving a big fuck you to the EU tax laws

          Hating the rich is like hating murderers, it’s not a feeling you should hide in polite company like racism. Every minute of their breathing lives they choose to take more from society than they give back. That’s how these dragons of modern times create their unimaginable hoards. No knight in stories of old hid their desire to slay the foul beasts, because doing so is always virtuous and worthy of praise.
