BLIAR, is a f*cking twat. Why does't he and the rest of those that want another referendum just accept that the democratic vote went against them and pipe down? Jesus, we have VOTED to leave, now f*ck off!
I can explain why. He doesn't think Brexit is a good idea and he has a media platform to speak from.
The UK had 30+ years of being in the EU. All that time, there was an increasingly strident group of people protesting against EU membership for one reason or another. That was their democratic right. This is Blairs, too - or anyone else that wants to continue to point out why they don't want Brexit.
It won't stop it, but they shouldn't be stopped, either - unless we want our country to become something quite different. Some people would like that - and for them, leaving the EU is the excuse and opportunity, not the end game.
That protest campaign over the last 30 years was mainly media-driven. The EU doesn't make it easy for the "media elites" like the owners of most newspapers and radio/TV stations to get what they want without proper scrutiny. Even now, those outlets continue to propagate lies as truths to get ordinary people angry. Angry people don't look closely at things sometimes. The people who want to do things that you might not like are hoping so, anyway.
So, when you are completely angry at Blair and people you judge to be the same as him, take care. That is the time when you'll be asked to agree that people like him should not be allowed access to the media, or to organise meetings. Maybe even that some political parties should be banned. If you're angry enough, you might agree. Don't.
I learnt a new phrase this morning. "Faux-patriot". That's someone who uses the idea that they are the only people who are patriotic, as a way to silence disagreement and close down discussions they don't want to discuss. It was a popular concept in the 1930s. It fooled a lot of people into giving support to something they weren't so proud of when they realised what it dragged them into.
Ordinary people need to be careful who they give their support to, why, and what the people they are supporting will do in their name that ordinary people did not expect or want.
