It cannot be said often enough that not everybody who voted Leave in the recent referendum - remember it? - did so purely because they wanted all immigrants to be driven into the sea "first thing Friday morning".
No. Some - CF included - voted to get out of a massive, and failing, political project, which had already constructed a vast and anti-democratic superstate.

Much, much anguish from the yoot following the referendum.
Those wicked old people, with all their experience of the EU, and all of their wisdom, somehow conspired to vote the nation out of Europe, even though thats not what we, the yoot, really wanted.

Hello boys and girls!
Today's Word of the Day is 'Bigot'
bigot
ˈbɪɡət/
noun
a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.
You might have noticed recently that anyone who, for whatever reason, failed to vote 'Remain' has been - universally and endlessly - termed a 'Bigot' by those who did.
As the great Alanis Morissette said ...
