Has Brexit become some kind of religion?

[Eirikur]

When you look at the hard core brexiteers and the arguments they use it looks like they are part of some sinister religious sect.
Only they have the full truth even when it's easy to proof they're full of BS
Their leaders are untouchable and should be followed and believed
Counterarguments are met with hostility and accustations of treason or worse
They are ready to accept many years of unemployment and austerity thanks to their Gods May , BoJo, Fox and Davies or the anti God Farage and Messiah Corbyn

As I noted yesterday, the language being used is close to Leninism. Was it Nigey who said yesterday "Brexit can't fail"? What does that tell you, if you have an ounce of intelligence?

Nope. Most Remainers being intelligent pragmatics, are fully aware that no organisation, let alone the EU, is perfect.
But we believe we're better off in (to the limited extent we were in and subject to caveats) than out, in all sorts of ways.

You've lived by youself for far to long.
And now you come across like some dotty old woman who lives with her cats.

Quite. Apologies for the typo.

Ah, standard insult number six from the sasguru playbook

(and it's "too" long, not "to" long)
