Backwoodsman BS: Post Brexit life in the UK (6498* d) RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK 20 Jul 18


I came across a quote this morning, from Mark Twain in 1906. It strikes me as being especially applicable to the Leave voters as the entire Brexit debacle, built as it is on a tissue of lies, unravels before our eyes, yet they steadfastly refuse to understand the extent to which they have been duped, and they continue to defend the indefensible...

"The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance. … How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!” – Autobiographical dictation, 2 December 1906. Published in Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2 (University of California Press, 2013)

Quote of the Day, AFAIC.
