For a start, it isn't a competition. We are not in the playground. We are supposed to be fighting to protect the vulnerable. We have a duty to do so. Those earning the average income circa £28,000 a year, or earning less or much less and those just getting by, according to the government's own estimation will be harmed by Brexit; any Brexit. No version of Brexit will leave us in a situation as beneficial as remaining in the EU. That, as far as I am concerned, is where the conversation starts.
As for "get over the referendum vote”, "be optimistic" and "see a glass that is half full”: in this age in which water wars, violent conflicts over water, are already raging: I see a glass that is half full for those who can afford to pay for it and a glass that is much less full for those who cannot. I also see a glass that is overflowing for Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Iain Duncan Smith, Nigel Farage, Viscount Rothermere, The Barclay Brothers and Rupert Murdoch. The robber barons inciting this one sided self-harming UK insanity will glide through Brexit their fortunes enhanced. Large numbers of those who voted for Brexit will be very very much less fortunate. The fight against Brexit is a fight for the wellbeing of Leavers and Remainers alike because the aforementioned “not wealthy” are, “all in it together” … and in the case of Brexit, the “it” stinks.
