Remember the Brexit as the moment when xenophobia won

29. I'm being absolutely entirely serious.

And you're not going to get off on the right foot here by patronizing people like that, so I suggest you cut it out.

I didn't even get on to Boris Johnson or any of the other leading lights in Leave, I was clearly talking about Farage. Johnson has a few more strings to his bow than Farage. Johnson will only demagogue intermittently when it suits his purposes, then he'll do or say something really stupid to distract people and add to the myth that he's a harmless buffoon.

YOU be serious, and YOU stop trying to deflect.

I just pointed out that the Leave leadership acknowledges that Brexit won't address the immigration issue.

I too have eyes and can see what's going on around me.

At the moment I'm looking at some anonymous online entity who's popped up here having apparently swallowed the Leave propaganda wholesale and now wants to play a part in promoting it, and seemingly thinks it's condescending to report what I've witnessed only too fucking clearly when I say that Leave scapegoated the EU and immigrants for failings that are entirely the responsiblility of the UK government and the way the country's been run for the last forty years or so.

Leaving the EU won't cure that disaffection or the root causes for it once the initial euphoria's worn off. Then what?

Be sure and be serious, now.
