As a Brit: welcome to the last three and a half years of my life.

I’ve seen and heard the EU demonised as “communist” by those on the right at the same time as it’s demonised as “neoliberal” by those on the left.

I’ve seen people criticise the EU for having too much power and to little, and sometimes it’s the same person saying both things.

I’ve given up on someone when I had a conversation with them that went:

Them: “Leaving will be easy because they will give us a good deal.”

Me: “No.”

Them: “That proves we should leave!”

Why are you fighting this battle?

As you say, my side lost.

That my side won’t accept it is a you-problem, not a me-problem, as I left the country. If you want to rule over the Remainers who didn’t physically leave the UK, you’ll have to bring them on board. But trying to engage me will do nothing. I’ve given up on the UK.

Have you considered the possibility that everyone who you accuse of 1 is sincere about what you label 2? I do not need to know if you think the EU is too left out too right to believe that you are sincere about not knowing its benefits.
