The Enemy Within
We are now finally negotiating with the EU. All you hear from some people is what a bad deal we will get and how we should give away everything and ask nothing in return. Then how bad it will be... yes, if you were doing the negotiations I am sure it will be. These people really are the enemy within.
It’s perfectly ok to have the debate and a vote by all means, but when they then argue constantly against their own countries interests and try to constantly materially undermine it, you have to wonder where they are coming from. IMHO it explains a lot and shows that their original position is actually a reflection of whose side they are on rather than what is actually best for us. There's a big difference between arguing for what we should want from a negotiation and actually spending all your time and effort arguing FOR the position of those you are going to negotiate with. It'd be like Brexiteers arguing for a 'worse' EU so that it fails and people vote out rather than constantly trying to reform it because they didn't like it. All sides should want the best possible outcome for Europe, the UK and the world. Argue for what you want for sure, but when you're actually arguing against your country for some strange misplaced guilt, just just to win an argument you already lost or something, then it's verging on treason. I honestly think a fair proportion of remoaners are literally brainwashed and genuinely believe that the UK cannot survive outside the EU. That the EU knows what is best for the UK and is trying to do that more than we could for ourselves. For some unfathomable reason their loyalties lie with the EU and not their country. But not one of them can adequately explain to me why the hell this would be.
