Brexit being challenged in the high court

I fully and passionately support Gina Miller in her high court challenge to brexit. While I’ve been trying to come to terms with it, I don’t think I’ll ever fully support it. For me, being part of the EU is about the bigger picture: it’s about humanity outgrowing tribe and state to work together. The union might have had it’s faults, but it ensured us our rights – rights which are now at risk. Two months ago, the people of this country were lied to: they were fed bullshit by xenophobes, intent on turning this country into their capitalist playground. They wanted to be free to persecute us, unfettered by the safeguards of the EU. Given how quickly their lies began to unravel, it is clear the referendum result is not an accurate reflection of how people of this country feel. Moreover they are using the result as an excuse to turn this country into a place where racism and xenophobia are acceptable. Thus for the outists to try to invoke democracy, for them to cling to their slim, ill-gotten majority, for them to try to impose their views upon us while claiming it represents the will of the people, is an insult to democracy. While I don’t want to deprive anyone who voted leave of their right to hold a view, as far as I’m concerned the referendum result is void – it cannot stand, and I support any and all challenges to it.
