Brexit: The Uncivil War (C4)

[Mordac]

Looking at the Brexit Twittersphere, the Leavers don't so C4 is getting a bashing

Apparently BC (ardent Remainer, natch) demanded changes to the script to make Cummings look more devious, sinister and manipulating. I've got it on Skyplus, so I'll reserve judgement until I've actually watched it.

I though it was quite compelling viewing. It did highlight the dangers of social media and how it can be used to mange voters expectations.

The bigger danger is how government/parliament manages voter expectations. Which is what Dominic Cummings objected to.

It summed up the reason I voted Brexit. Objecting to the establishment and feeling left behind. However you vote the government always gets in.

The vote leave as exposed just how badly this country is run. Rather than this shower, the UK would be better run by Brussels. Apologies to those who voted stay for being slow on the uptake.

What I would prefer to happen is Dominic Cummings to become PM. I am sure there is a universe somewhere that he is.

I have a lot of sympathy for this point of view. Even as a Remainer, to me it beggars belief that the government don't appear to have listened to the grassroots and started work on implementing real policies that will help the JAMs and the left-behinds.

He'd probably need to stand for election first, unless you're advocating an unelected dictatorship :-)

Apart from a few social media posts the government has no feedback. The French lead the way.

Good point! I was thinking more along the lines of Sarah Harding in To play the King....

Everyone will prosper after a red white and blue Brexit.

That's not always a bad thing.

Yes it is.

Brexit can only be delivered via a dictatorship so I'm expecting UKIP to throw their weight behind that idea.

A dictator needs a slogan, so I think "will of the people" would be ideal. A dictator doesn't need to be bothered with all that human rights nonsense and "political correctness".
