    It’s not one off - same group that voted Brexit also generally supports Trump, anti-vaxxers etc - there is consistent pattern that can be distilled down to “idiotism” - it’s not even lack of education, people are rejecting obvious facts and evidence in favour of alternative reality offered by cynical liars like Boris and Farage

    Both Farage and Boris should have been doing time in jail for being political fraudsters - cleaning up politics from fraudulent lies is one of the top priorities for rejoining EU

    That or ask your Tory mates to find you a job elsewhere.
    Not supplying PPE for a few £££ billion, I would happily take over that role post Brexit.
