bovril Posted 18 May 2022 Share Posted 18 May 2022 I don't think "thick" is fair but at best many of the people voting for Brexit were very poorly-informed. I don't necessarily blame them, there was never a great attempt to build pro-EU feeling from the British establishment. At the same time I think back to the referendum campaign and it's pretty insane thinking about some of the stuff people bought into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobyfox1990 Posted 18 May 2022 Share Posted 18 May 2022 Only came on this thread to see if anyone else has heard the ‘Michael gove is a coke addict’ rumour as I’ve weirdly heard it 3 times this week now. Is this common knowledge?!? But to think it’s 2022 and people still think ALL those who voted for brexit are ALL thick. Unbelievable. Some people have made absolute fortunes from leaving, just like covid, there were/are huge financial opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense, I don't give a **** about cars. Simple luck of the draw that I ended up with the astra. Got 4 wheels and goes brum brum.

This is one of the biggest tactics they used to win the last election. Create an impression that it's a new government rather than a government in power.

Some of them might not be racist to bame but reversed. But to answer your question, the majority of remain supporters called them racist, especially those from a pro Corbyn/momentum background. The ones that are now calling the poor being labelled stupid disgraceful, them. Corbyn was Leave. Momentum, emphasising what complete tools they are, were neither in nor out.

I know Corbyn was leave, but his supporters often weren’t and often did not accept that. Like in all cases their are exceptions but the ones I found the most vociferously abusive were of the massively pro Corbyn/momentum type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of them bought into the whole Corbynite view of the EU being a bad thing and not a route to pure(itanical) socialism. Not knocking their propensity to be rude, hypocritical idiots, but my experience of it all was that the dim right Leavers were the worst for abuse. But then that’s probably what twitter and facebooks engineered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, looking in comparison at some of the rather reprehensible stuff conservative governments have gotten up to in other countries in the last five to ten years (outright disregard of scientific evidence that endangers the future just being the tip of the iceberg), it can be reasonably assumed that a. The above is correct and this is a "faux Conservative" government, and b. No one in their right mind outside of a rather specific demographic should really be looking for a Conservative government that is less "faux".

If there really were a conservative party I may vote for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
