  1. How do you know they were uninformed any more than the remainers? There were enough lies and bullshit on both sides to keep everybody confused. What special source of information were you privvy to?

  2. Not at all. If you live with someone and s/he beats you up every day, you don't need to also know whether or not they have a job, are hygienic, manage their money, and have unsavoury friends. The fact that that person beats you is fact enough. For many Brits, the fact that the EU has been expanded beyond its agreed upon remit is enough. The fact that it is not properly democratic is enough. The fact we keep getting outvoted is enough. The fact that open borders means that we accept thousands of workers but export far fewer is enough. I could continue, and any ONE of these could be deal breakers for some people.

  3. Sometimes you don't need to know the totality of an issue to know that you don't want it.

  4. That interviewer might just as well have read the script as he was putting all the words in their mouths anyway.
