Within the mind of the Brexitpsyche............

The mind of the Brexitpsyche.....I have been observing the outlook of the Brexiteers and their ilk on social media for the 10 months. Their words are full of phrases like " doom and gloom" , " remoaners" they use words like freedom equality ",getting your country back ' . They have this phrase *you don't know what will happen" and with it they deny the predictive skills of sociology, psychology, econometric s and social research. When you challenge them you get a sense of deep within of a mythical Arthurian age where men were men, women knew their place and their was none of this gender neutral stuff. There was the grammar school and Sunday lunch was meat and two veg. Climate change is a myth of the left . Brexit was a stage in stopping the Visigoths at the gate of Rome and Islamic hordes are sweeping across Europe. There were a few brown faces but only a few. The Empire and it's loss began the process of decline. History is made up of facts and it's only real use is for the pub quiz.


You lefties with your doubt and lack of certainty are the problem. My common sense us the only truth. I don't see prejudice, exploitation and threat I have never seen it. Only the individual exists . Education is just about getting a job and if you don't fit in just fuck off ,We need more referendum you know, we could do the death penalty next and on immigration.....


I love the Queen and am proud and patriotic. Life is straight forward. I like that Trump and May they are strong and stable . Corbyn and those Greens are eaten up by envy. That Aaron Banks good luck to him he worked hard and made millions. Those billionaires know a thing or two we all could learn a lot from them.


The future is unknown the Brexitpsyche claims only the past was certain. We must get back to it they argue. Yet the past seen is a story told by the British Empire and it's official histories. History is male, white, middle class about monarchs and the great man and acts as an apology for imperialism. There is no knowledge of the Diggers and the Levelers, no awareness if the Enlightenment of people*s history. Truth is a statistical average and obvious.


I wonder if the Jacobite felt like me this that looking at Hanoverian England . I feel like Hogarth looking at the corruption and froth of the Conservative ranks washed with its blue kip tide. Tony Blair and new Labour began it. They destroyed a collective sense of politics and banned the use of class awareness. A few rebels Corbyn , Lucas and the Greens look for new models. Perhaps June 8 will be Culloden perhaps not. All I know now that I feel like a Jacobite viewing early 18th century England . I am aware as they were of the myth of the 1688 glorious revolution but I too am aware of the myth of new Labour and of politics free from class. History is and will be for many years a history of liberation and if class struggle. The Brexitpsyche is a means and process by which this truth is denied. As for me I am labeled as un or anti British for liking Europe it's philosophy and it's outlook. To many of them if they knew their history I am the Jacobite loyal to the European rulers over the water....but that Trump the Brexitpsyche like him.....cos that's different....
