  1. It's bitter because it's a straightforward split on IQ lines: Remainers are everybody with IQs over 95 with the exception of a ver-ree few over-refined but still bright fascists. The exiters are all of the stupid, plus the few dozen fascists, nationalists, and a few ancient Imperialists. (The few Exiters of normal decency and intelligence are represented by this guy Shriver, suddenly claiming to be on-the-fence and unpersuaded.) The first group are bitter because they see many of their own failures starkly exposed. The mass of the stupid are angry becuse their exploiters have hectored them into becoming that way. It seems to me the main responsibility here is David Cameron's. He set up his referendum for reasons having nothing to do with Europe: he was simply trying to dish his own extremist Right. This crowd are Boris, Rees-Mogg, simply performance actors who had to go into politics because they failed their try-outs for Monty Python. The stupid twit he is, Cameron failed to realise that the majority of those who put him in 10 Downing Street are convincable, in the short run, given only enough lies by these charlatans. So he lost, and there's a good chance he's taking Britain down with him.

  2. Gavin, Quite right. And I imagine this is one of the many failures that accounts for the Remainers' bitterness. Do you count Cameron and May among your "so liberal and globalist"? It seems to me that sensible people can see that the EU is a work in progress. It faces difficult problems and needs hard work. Dare one use the word "sacrifice"? The United States in the tough period between 1776 and 1789 comes to mind.
