| I perhaps should have refined or clarified what I meant. It is about an inherent distrust of non-English. Brussels is 'corrupt'. Juncker is 'drunk'. The EU can't even get its annual accounts signed off. This is all patently hogwash (its actually the UK that fails more on the book keeping front). But the core believe is England good, all the rest perhaps good for a holiday destination but not much else. The fear of being ruled by 'others' is at the centre of the Brexit voters belief system. I always found that bizarre - who could be more 'other' for the vast majority of us than an Eton educated, wealth & privilege cushioned, born into connections PM? But apparently that type of 'other' is ok (even if they drive the country into the gutter). It's the 'other' with funny names and funny languages that are not liked. And while this core emotional driver for Brexit exists you will not get a logical, economic or political reason for Brexit - there's no need; surely the goal of Brexit is so simple and obvious? |
