Without a doubt the Leave campaign used scare mongering and how people could not see Farage for the fascist that he is, even after using Nazi era posters in his campaign is utterly beyond me.

Look, I get that there are people that did not like the EU, for what ever reasons. But the people that back Farage are not sensible people. And I know a fair few people who do back Farage and do not see him as a fascist, even when posters like this are pointed out to them:

I don't think I've wished for a like or love button on the JBF more than I did after reading this.

In some of the Brexit debates, invariably the bloody wars come up. We won the Great War though, dint we? Yes, we did. What does that have to do with leaving the EU?

An irony: an argument repeatedly trotted forth by the pro-Brexit crowd why we must not actually debate and appraise the wisdom of leaving is that it's anti-democratic to ignore the one-off result of the referendum, and yet presumably they are satisfied with Boris suspending parliament to push through his desired agenda.

The pro-Brexit crowd have gone from 'this is an opportunity to strike some great deals' and understanding that a no-deal Brexit would be a full-blown distaster to 'we'll get some kind of a deal' to 'we can still get a deal, but we have to be prepared for no deal' to 'no deal is a real possibility' to shutting down parliament to remove any potential barriers to a no-deal. This would appears to be an attempt to hinder democracy from the highest levels of government. No responsible government would consider a no-deal Brexit and yet here we are with Boris seemingly try to force this madness through.

The whole thing just fills me with Y2K dread.

I regretted it before and I regret it now; I still feel strongly that if the United States had a State Department, we might be able to help mediate this with a non-horrific result.
