I don't know if you have missed it...
I hadn’t ;-)
I try not to base my response to each and every political issue on my gut reaction to it.

Neither do I, but do you think by now the rhetorics are really getting out of hand? It is not just Farage anymore, but the actual PM of the UK.
Anyways, my very first point was that often conversations are "driven" by fearmongering/anger creation, and then called "the will of the people".
The attacks on Polish immigrants, refugees as cockroaches, I don't see what is perse conspiracy theory about it. The idea is to stir people up, make sure they don't think clearly/logically and then claim it to be "will of the people"

I don't know if you have missed it... but somehow judges are now "the enemy of the people" (sorta standard the Sun really) but now the rhetorics of the -government- (not all MPs) is quite messed up atm.
I don't really see how that is a conspiracy theory, it is in plain sight.
Because it all blamed on "Ireland" "Remainers" whatever, and when such groups air fears it is "project fear".
I'd hope that anybody invoking "the people" would actually try to get everyone on board. Not just a subgroup and then shout down everyone else.
As for immigration bullshit Charlie Brooker's newswipe section from ages ago, well it hasn't really changed.

But, I'm all for more input of everyone. The ROI referendum system is quite sound, citizen groups work really well. I am just extremely wary of the "UK first WILL OF THE PEOPLE" sort of cherrypicking.
