Reasons behind Brexit given as, immigration (wrong), sovereignty (misunderstood + wrong), and the nebulous and frequently grasped at, "freedom" (misunderstood, meaningless and... wrong).
Rubes fooled by charlatans to gain power and/or money.
A catastrophic failure of our systems

£1.6bn - Sunak will see that as pocket money when balanced with the £bn's lost to fraud when he was chancellor.
If the the recipient then donates to the Tory party then they'll see it as a win!

30p Lee Anderson isn’t saying what people think, he’s saying what they want you to think. He’s another fake patriot, a useful idiot, distracting you from 13 years of Tory decline.
Know your enemy.
It’s not people in small boats.
It’s the lying racists shilling for votes.

Excellent piece by @NickCohen4 on the hard right, including this on their biggest triumph: Brexit:

If this story makes you angry at lawyers upholding the law, rather than politicians deliberately breaking the law to score culture war points, you are at risk of looking just as stupid as those politicians and their media cheerleaders calculate you are.

Matt Hancock is a failed Health Sec that killed thousands and cheated on his wife with a hot aide despite resembling a noncey Tin Tin but he’s doing just fine.
I have morals and I’m stuck indoors, alone, with a child’s illness watching a documentary about fucking BISCUITS.

Anyone remember when homophobic B&B owners were refusing to take gay people's custom, and @Nigel_Farage & the extreme right were defending, saying 'free speech' and 'it's their own private business' and 'nanny state' if gov gets involved?
Well I do.

Long Boris explained - arrogant twat. Thinks rules don’t apply to chaps who’ve been to Eton. Fooled the gullible into voting for him. Cheats everyone - esp wives. Habitual liar. Own MPs sacked him as PM for lying. The turd that won’t flush - still supported by loonies... Fixed 👍
Long Boris explained -
Public gave him bigger % of vote share than Blair in ‘97. He was PM THEY wanted.
Con MPs defenestrated him and replaced with PM THEY wanted.
Anyone who thought MPs would get away with that and not be punished is deluded.

I can’t think of another media landscape in Europe like that in UK. Offshore proprietors who pay no tax in the country ruin lives & pollute political discourse while everyone in power cowers before them. No meaningful press regulation of any kind.
It is completely cancerous.
The Sun drove this story. Now they will not answer for the storm & controversy they have created. They never do. This is a paper with a record of polluting public life & telling lies from the Belgrano to Hillsborough. Why don't we hold @TheSun accountable?

This cartoon demonstrates the purpose of Fox News in a single, powerful image. The elderly man in the center is supposed to represent Rupert Murdoch, the founder of Fox News. 5/5

I don’t give a shit about jigsaws and confetti on centre court.
I do care about Michelle Mone defrauding the Treasury out of £29million though.

These people have been in this current atrocity of a Government.
They are clearly and demonstrably not fit to govern.
