(587 posts)blaming the problems that have occurred in the past 5 or so years on a leader who has been dead for 3 years and out of office for over 25 years is silly.
The problems the Brexit voters are facing are manifestations of what has been going on in recent years in the UK. And more than half the country voted for Brexit. Blaming it on a number of easily led racists who were fooled by RW media is just refusing to acknowledge what is plain as day - and that is that the UK voters want to leave the EU. The vote had huge turnout, and it was a clean vote. The people have spoken.
As for Scotland, again, them pulling out has never been anything to do with Brexit. They have been talking about leaving for YEARS. Long before UK Brexit was even an idea, and long before the UK was even part of the EU. All the Brexit vote does is pave the way for another Scottish independence vote.
Ironically, the issue Scotland has with the UK (let's face it - their problem is with England) is that they feel they are being ruled by a far away place who has little concern for their needs and wants. Which is exactly the driving factor behind the Brexit vote.
