Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics - 2
Many - most? - Leave voters didn’t have a f***ing clue about the reality of what they were voting for, what the real driving-force behind the ‘Leave’ Campaign was - tax avoidance for the rich, the removal of workers’ rights and human rights, the destruction of the Trade Unions, the privatisation of the NHS, the empowerment of big business, the further enrichment of the already immensely wealthy. All happening right now.

They fell for the propaganda, the three-word slogans, the Big-Red-Bus-Bollocks, the ‘Vote Leave’ Big Lies that foreigners were (and still are) the problem, that ‘we’ had no control over our laws (they never meant the real ‘we’, the people, they meant themselves), and, the Biggest Lie of All, that by Leaving the EU the UK would somehow regain the ‘sovereignty’ that they claimed had been surrendered to the EU.

All absolute horse-shit. Never have so many been lied to and brainwashed by so few.
