    Beside the handful of real absolute morons/racists/haters (we have similar people in the EU too, they are far from being exclusive to Britain), I consider this an impressive scam that went somewhat completely wrong.

    Those promoting Brexit never intended to really leave the EU, that was a mean to grab more power by manipulating the… lesser informed population, and they were indeed quite surprised the day those people, and then a few more with them, actually voted for that Brexit scam. Making them the proud leader of something that was probably never meant to happen. Hence their absolute lack of preparation for it and the shit show that followed for years.

    It’s also a demonstration of why a failing public educative system is fatal to a working democracy. Uneducated citizen can’t vote with their brains, only with their guts. And we all know that what usually comes out of guts is not ideas, right?

    Something we can also witness happening in the USA, quite obviously, but also in most countries in the EU even in my dear own France. Sadly.
