And I was sitting here thinking we're not really getting to the problem with this country.
The English voted to leave the European Union because in spite of belonging to it for the last fifty years they didn't know anything about it.
That's the real problem. The level of public ignorance.
Okay, people like Fartage and Johnson exploited the ignorance. But the ignorance was there already.
The fact is England was wide open to be exploited by these backstreet bigots because the English don't have a clue about their relation to the outside world.
A well informed country doesn't vote to do what the English have voted to do to their country.
It requires a global ignorance to do something like this.
The English have voted to destroy their own country because they didn't know any better.
