"That is a very bizarre stance you take mr shaw. You imply all those that voted for Trump and Brexit did so from ignorance. Many would dispute your assumption. What infallible source did you use to arrive at such a sweeping delusion?"

Well let me put it to you this way. No rational person, with all the information to hand about Trump's history, attitudes and pig-ignorance, would have voted for him. "Rational" is quite important in that context. So yes indeed. If you voted for Trump you voted out of irrationality and/or out of a deficit of information. Which is a polite way of saying ignorance. Likewise, any rational person who had a good idea of the history and workings of the EU would have been extremely worried about the tissues of lies which were the modus operandi of both sides of the argument and either refrained from voting or voted for the safety of the status quo. To vote to leave into a completely unknown and danger-ridden future was a decision based on ignorance which fuelled vulnerability to specious and dishonest arguments. If it's any consolation to you, I imagine that millions of people who were well short of being fully-informed also voted Clinton or remain. Incidentally, I read last week of a study that demonstrated a good correlation between good education and voting remain. Bet that'll get you going. And if you call me deluded one more time I'll give you grief about the deficiencies of your posts every time you post. The fact that it will be a very major operation won't put me off.
