Why did Remain Voters Cry?

I voted to Leave and I am deeply committed to the cause of independence but had the UK voted to Remain in the EU I would not have cried. I would have got ready for the next stage in the battle: Eurozone Union in 2025.   I knew no Leave voters who would have cried had the Referendum gone the wrong way. So why did Remain voters cry?

Many Remain voters cried or felt like crying after the vote.  They would not have cried if their Party had lost a General Election so what was going on?  Furthermore, after the vote I heard many stories of Leave voters being bullied by disgruntled Remain voters, especially on Social Media. What has happened?

During the Referendum campaign I spoke to hundreds of Remain supporters.  Most had little idea of why they supported Remain except that they believed that getting along with, and cooperating with, fellow Europeans was more important than anything.  When it was pointed out that 90% of Leave voters also want to cooperate and get along with other Europeans I was met with looks of disbelief.  The Remain voters had in mind some almost spiritual union, like marriage, which is why they used terms like "divorce" for Leaving.

In real life, although we are part of the UK we are not married to people in Birmingham or Hull.  We work with them, perhaps make friends and go about normal relations with our fellow citizens. If we go to another country with a work permit we behave the same to our colleagues as we might in the UK.  There is no spiritual union.  When we leave the EU we will go to France on holiday and behave the same as we do now.  When we leave the EU and get a permit to work in Holland we will behave the same to our colleagues as now.  In reality being IN or OUT of the EU makes little difference at a personal level.

So where did Remain voters get the idea that there was something "Holy" about being in the EU?  Those who favour Remain are largely Floaters, they are people who have the  education and wealth to imagine themselves travelling anywhere in the world and working or settling anywhere.  Their desire to vote Remain was not really about cooperating and getting along with  fellow Europeans, it was about imagined or real opportunities and an imagined future for themselves.




The Floaters have, over the past 30 years, distanced themselves from the less mobile sector of British society.  Instead of empathising with their less well endowed fellow citizens they fitted their complaints into a moral structure so that the complaints could be ignored.  Their less fortunate fellow citizens became Racists, Chavs and Feckless rather than people struggling to make sense out of an ever more complex, overcrowded and unforgiving world. The Floaters floated up to a "moral highground" where everyone but themselves is morally offensive.  This allows them to dismiss their fellow citizens as unworthy of understanding or help.  The Media is entirely staffed by Floaters and reinforced this message.

It is clear now why those who voted Remain cried and bullied others. They have devised a moral structure to distance themselves from the rest of humanity. They feel they are holy.  To this class the rest of society are morons and chavs and those who support and empathise with ordinary unbelievers, those who fall from the moral highground, deserve to be bullied because they are morally reprehensible.  It is shocking that the British, who have recently been famed for pragmatic tolerance and acceptance, should have produced a class of such intolerance and viciousness.

If we look at other instances of people crying about national events the most notable instances are the deaths of successful tyrants like Mao and Stalin and the death of Princess Di.  All of these examples are media indoctrination - the ordinary public had never met any of these people nor knew any truth about them.  The young are especially prone to indoctrination and lines of Red Guards cried their eyes out after the death of Mao. Another sign of indoctrination is the way that Remain used a strange technique in debate. Rather than analysing the issues they assembled gangs of sympathisers who all shouted a viewpoint.  Remain then declared "if these experts all believe in Remain then how can you say any different"? This was naked gang mentality, their "experts" were all Remain experts so had no credibility with the other side of the debate.

The younger Remain supporters are not to blame. The education system in the UK has been politicised over the past 30 years, teachers have equated caring preferentially for your fellow citizens with racism and have used EU materials to extol the virtues of leaving your own country behind to pursue a holy life elsewhere.  One of the most important tasks of any future UK government is to encourage schools to teach care for other people rather than revulsion for groups that do not follow prescribed ideologies.  Schools must not instil ideology, they must instil kindness at the interpersonal level, they must ensure that their pupils do not emerge with selfish fantasies but put service to others in their locality, real people who they can meet and understand, first.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith.  What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas?  In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands.  The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata.  The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile.  In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b...

Do Muslim women want to wear the Burka (Burqua)?

Do all islamic women want to wear burka?  Can a woman's freedom to wear what she wants oppress other women?  Are western feminists aiding a cult that is dedicated to the destruction of feminism?  I hope to answer these questions in this article.  I would much appreciate any comments you might have if you disagree with the article, especially if you have a feminist viewpoint. Here is a description of the problems of wearing burka by a woman of Asian origin: "Of course, many veiled Muslim women argue that, far from being forced to wear burkas by ruthless husbands, they do so out of choice. And I have to take them at their word. But it is also very apparent that many women are forced behind the veil. A number of them have turned up at my door seeking refuge from their fathers, mothers, brothers and in-laws - men brain-washed by religious leaders who use physical and mental abuse to compel the girls to cover up. It started with the headscarf, then went to th...

The Roots of New Labour

This article was written in 2009 but is still useful to understand the motivation behind New Labour - from the global financial crisis through the over-regulated, surveillance society to the break up of the UK into nationalities. The past lives of Labour Ministers have long been sanitised and many biographies that include their shady communist and Marxist pasts are inaccessible or removed from the net. The truth about these guys is similar to discovering that leading Tories were members of the Nazi Party. If you are a British voter and do not think that this is important then I despair for British politics.  Had these people taken jobs in industry their past might be forgotten and forgiven but they continued in left wing politics and even today boast of being "Stalinist" or International Socialist (or in Blair's case, Trotskyist ). Peter Mandelson (first Secretary of State and Labour Supremo): "Mr Mandelson was born into a Labour family - his grandfather wa...
