Maybe you could try and explain why this is funny?
Come on - you might have believed it then, but believing that leaving the EU is going to do wonders for the disadvantaged now is more than a little naive.
You've been cut a lot of slack for your vocal support of what was then, and is clearly now, a disaster. I think a little humility might be a wise course to steer rather than inviting confrontation when you're so clearly in the wrong.
Dammit-
It was suggested that a person who voted leave cannot sincerely empathise with and highlight the plight of the disadvantaged - which is bullshit shit stirring but there we go.
Being luke warm on the EU (or flatly rejecting it) and being a forum approved level of virtue are not necessarily mutually exclusive - see Jeremy Corbyn for example.

I hear you. But it's a pretty absurd conflation to say that someone who voted for Brexit must not care about the disadvantaged. Would you apply that to all 17M voters? Don't think so.
The handling of it has been a disaster, I agree. This government is a disaster and not one I voted for. But nobody knew what would happen after the vote. The question was not do you want [all these 5 years of shit], it was should the UK remain a member of the EU or leave.
It's an incredibly nuanced debate and if people on both sides (left and right) were less entrenched in their positions we might not be in this mess. I do not agree that I am so clearly in the wrong because there isn't a right and wrong in this kaleidoscope of greys.
