As has been noted, the people who voted for Brexit, generally:
- had specific vested interests (generally a small number of people)
- were semi-senile old duffers
- were uneducated and ignorant.
Them's the facts.
We can see some of them on this thread. In some posters, we have instances of overlap. We all know who they are.
Those people don't care if they're right. This is about getting a win. It's about:
- narcissism and self promotion;
- a curmudgeonly "up yours" to a generation and a world they increasingly don't understand (particularly ironic given that this group, through pure generational serendipity has had more to be thankful for than most);
- getting one over on the establishment and, for once, exercising some political influence; impotent losers waking up one day with a raging morning glory and waving it at the man who, unbeknownst to them, is planning to grease them up for the bumming of a lifetime.
