What happend on June 23, 2016, is this: a coup d’etat of a group of reactionary clowns as a method to carry out a party feud and who with the help of the gutter press (with clear economic intentions of their owners) utilized the rage of the majority of the electorate the clowns themselves had caused. They were unintentionally (but nevertheless effectively) supported by a left which has lost its links to the underprivileged and assumes that buzzwords will suffice to substitute the lack of intellectual capacity and enlightening courage to face today’s global challenges.

‪#‎brexit‬ lessons to be learned: „Look in the mirror and say after me: we are also to blame. How did we, as educators, allow such a simplistic narrative to go unchallenged by good history and civics taught at school and university? How did we, as journalists, allow the Eurosceptic press to get away with it, setting the daily news agenda for radio and television as well? How can we pro-Europeans have so underrated the painful sense of losing out from Europeanisation that I encountered on the doorstep when canvassing for a vote to remain, and which now screams through the vote of the other half of England?“ Timothy Garton Ash in The Guardian, June 25, 2016
