Brexit must not be allowed to stand

There was a program on the bbc last night about brexit and ‘the battle for Britain’. It was a mistake for me to watch it. Since June I had just about calmed down over the referendum, and was trying not to think about it, but last night the rage came flooding back. This decision must not be allowed to stand. Either fifty-two percent of us were deceived, or fifty-two percent of us are morons. Either way, we were mislead into voting for something not in our best interest, which would make this country an irrelevance on the world stage and leave us open to the most perverse form of capitalism. It’s clear to me that many people didn’t understand what they were voting for, duped by the laughable con that brexit would bring back some kind of heyday for the uk. For example, a few days before the vote, I was talking to a pro-brexit internet radio presenter: I told him how worried I was that, outside the eu, the rights and protections disabled people get under it would be eroded. On his show he voiced my comment, adding that such protections would be replaced with our own, British ones. No you moron! People were campaigning to vote out precisely to get rid of such human rights laws, which they saw as a hinderance to business. That was the whole point. Vulnerable people are now even more vulnerable because of such stupidity; I am still very angry about it, and will be for quite some time. The country is alone, isolated, and at the back of the queue; the capitalists will now come in and screw us all; society is already becoming more individualist and xenophobic; and all because so many people allowed their selves to be misled. Brexit must not be allowed to stand!
