I know several good, intelligent people who voted leave. Their grounds for doing so were reasonable and largely optimistic about what the UK would be. I thought, and still think, that they're wrong (mainly because I think Brexit is primarily a Thatcherite, deregulation stalking-horse), but I can see where they're coming from.
...and then you encounter people like Craig and you can't help but feel that, whatever decent reasons were behind some leave votes, the whole campaign has been largely carried by a bunch of whining, petulant, morons whose highest ambition is to get one over on their perceived enemies in their own country. When did the highest ambition of the political right become to piss off other people?
Have you seen The Loudest Voice, about Murdoch and Roger Ailles creating Fox news in order to play to the dark fears and hatred of the public. Terrifying stuff, but a very successful project. The fuckers.
