Can I just express my frustration at the narrative emerging, and by and large going unquestioned?
"How dare you suggest all Brexiters are just racists who just want to kick immigrants out! The question was simply whether we want to leave the European Union. People from all walks of life voted for a variety of reasons."
"OK, cool, we'll try to negotiate to keep freedom of movement and protect the rights of EU citizens then."
"How dare you backtrack! The question was there in black and white - 'Do you want to leave the EU and also have no more freedom of movement and kick immigrants out?'"
If we don't leave the EU, which was the fucking question on the ballot paper, fair enough, kick up a fuss, whatever. Throwing a bitchfit at the potential terms every five seconds? Shut your fucking mouth. It's like walking into a restaurant, waiting for them to take your order, going "Food," they bring out a steak and you ask for the manager because you specifically said you were a vegan on a strict gluten-free diet and you're allergic to nuts and where's the coke you ordered.
The slogan "Brexit means Brexit" drives me mad, simply because the obvious follow-up question is, "Uh, yeah, but what the fuck does Brexit mean?"
Regardless of how this all shakes out, I get the feeling we're going to get people going, "Oh, well, no, this isn't what I wanted - I wanted the good Brexit, where we stopped freedom of movement and kept all the benefits of membership, and Ms.May clearly just didn't ask nicely enough."
