  1. Beware: this Brit is going on a rant: Brexiteers are pretty awful to try and talk to. If you aren't spouting their slogans back at them within two minutes, they'll call you a traitor "and that's a fact". They believe the press are out to get them, that social media are hand-in-glove with the government, and that Nigel Farage - who for his entire life has been campaigning for godawful things like privatised medicine and a flat tax (which makes poor people pay as much as, or more than, bankers) - is somehow going to be their saviour from the "deceptive" and "dishonest" politicians of Westminster. All this, while ol' Nigel refuses to publish a manifesto before running an election campaign. I know people who are going to be hurt the most by Brexit who have still voted for the Brexit Party in this last week's European Parliamentary Elections. They depend heavily on benefits and welfare - the exact things that Nigel will be going after with a chainsaw. The worst of it is that these people, in person, would never have expressed a prejudiced view in their lives - but they're so uninformed, so ignorant, and so frickin' gormless that they'll buy any political snakeoil that's sold to them. They don't know a con artist when they see one. I mean, for crying out loud, his plan for writing a manifesto is literally "let the members decide what they want, and I'll promise to deliver it - that's democracy". Um, chumps. Nigel is telling you, to your faces, that he'll promise whatever you want, no matter how implausible, with no plan for how he'll accomplish it. You're talking about a guy who's flip-flopped on so many issues that he could walk into any beach-footwear shop in Britain and be mistaken for an employee. First he was for a deal, now he's suddenly a No-Deal, Crash-Out kind of guy. His stance on Brexit has always chased after the angriest, loudest voices, and he has no fixed values of his own. HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THIS?! Sigh. I know the answer to that. They've bought the line that the media are the enemy of the people, just like Trumpists have - and in one fell swoop, they are fortified against any possibility of learning the truth. They aren't capable of scrutinising their own side - politics is a football game to them, and they only care about scoring goals. They don't care that their lead striker is corrupt, or that their goalie is a fraudster. They don't care if they have Nazis running on their left flank, or Communists on their right. It's depressing. While they push my country to the brink of a civil war over a totally fabricated crisis, our climate collapses before our very eyes - but that's alright, I suppose. After all, as Nigel says, this Climate Change thing is a bunch of nonsense anyway. Just buy thicker soles for your wellies.
