Friends who were in Britain at the time tell me anyone who wasn’t can’t imagine how vile the Brexit campaigning on both sides was. That said, in the aftermath, the media should take the lead in getting a grip.
Without support from the scum of the earth, Brexit wouldn’t have carried; but that doesn’t mean the scum is either “Britain” or even a plurality of it. Egan didn’t care if he muddied those waters because Britain isn’t what was really on his mind.
The Brits voted to leave Europe. But they weren’t electing a fool.
