In Brexit chaos, UK eurosceptics see dream ticket: new leader, new deal

15. I can't judge your motives. Only you know them.

But you are heading down a dangerous path if you are only reading people telling you that Brexit is a good thing cause it is poor people sticking it to the man. Brexit is the opposite. It is a campaign based on xenophobic fears being whipped up in homogeneous white populations about societal change by wealthy people who have a lot to lose in a more democratic world. Exactly the same as Trumpism is here. The irony is most immigrants(foreigners as you called them) are not from EU nations but former colonies. You know, brown and black people.

And the quote you highlight about people who see themselves as citizens of the world being citizens of nowhere? That is straight nativist propaganda.

I remember Britain in the 70s cause my dad made me read news from an early age. They were a basket case and had to go to Europe for a loan. The EU saved their ass and had Thatcher not been elected they would be like Germany is today. But they have always felt exceptional! Kind of like most Americans.

You need to keep in mind that it is the right in Britain wanting Brexit. Along with a smattering of the far left who dream of returning to the 1960 socialist Britain. The ones who would have not voted for Clinton here but Green Party or even Trump due to his protectionist policies. The left, center left and center right were and are against it. If that does not inform your opinion nothing I can type here will.
