Yes, this.
Brexiter argument today seems to be: Yeah, we know we fucked up, but it's too late now. Not very inspiring. Also wrong. This thing can be stopped anytime before March and reversed thereafter.
I am growing rather tired of people, across the political spectrum, incl Remainers, saying: You can do nothing about the bad thing.
If something is a bad idea, don't fucking do it mate. And for heaven's sake don't sit on the sidelines telling other people to embrace the same defeatism and lack of imagination you have displayed.
As for 'humiliation', we've watched Brexiters humiliate this country for two years by staking its reputation and well-being on a plan they cannot even articulate. You'll have to forgive us for not being entirely convinced that a final push will fix that.
I should mention at this point that I have been quite ill and unable to drink for several days. Am getting increasingly cross about it.

Also a staw man. I know of no #Bexit supporter who argues that way. The “fucked up” part that is.
ReplyDeleteThey might argue that it can't be stopped.
I've certainly seen them argue, " this is fucked up, but we can't stop it because it would be embarrassing". Can't say I've seen anyone say, " we fucked up", mind you.
