Subject: RE: BS: brexit matters
No I'd say that was a pretty standard remainer view.

fuelled by hatred of the excesses of the empire, and guilt for it.

a generation who grew up in a country with virtually no industry or understanding of it cultural importance in our society.

the endless jibes of being a little Englander ......based on the lack of understanding of the history of our country - because it is no longer taught in any depth.

basically we've been tied to a gang of countries who look round and say ...nothing to with me guv when shit happens. perhaps because of our imperial past - we know that's not always an option.   our interventions have not always been well conceived - but at least they were performed by people who had to face the music at the ballot box.
