Agree that elements on both sides have been bloody stupid. My point is that too often in the 'debate' over Brexit people seek to demonise all those who favour leaving as rabid fanatics as an excuse to throw insults and abuse. Which of course generates a lot of heat and blocks people actually learning what's really going on. Personally I'm a liberal so I trust the Tories about as far as I could throw the planet Jupiter and hence really, really resent people assuming I'm some sort of right wing racist simply because that fits their blinked world view.
