"You know you're on the right side of things regarding class issues when you side with dovetail joint, of course. He strikes me as a man that really knows the issues of the poor and what's best for them."
Do you?...I usually know I'm on the right side when the other side resort to ad hominem like that.
DJ's come across as pragmatic and he doesnt lack empathy. Left wing Brexiter views on the other hand appear to be steeped in wishful thinking and lacking any kind of concern that the most fragile will be hit the hardest by Brexit. Worse still is the callow pretence its not going to happen. As to this strawmannery about "world will end": sure the Tories can stop collecting revenue and throw the doors open to avoid catastrophe, but then your longer term problem is smuggling and massive loss of revenue. The increase in food prices alone(as admitted by the Brexit cabinet.) of what? 20% + will be a huge hit on the poorest and as your Brexit "economist" Minford likewise admits, it will devastate manufacturing and agriculture and thus destroy working class jobs. The real idiot elitist twit isn't DJ but your Brexit zealot Rees Mogg who reckons you might see some benefits in about "fifty years".
On the plus side what are you Left wing Brexiters actually offering? Nothing as far as I can see, and as most of you despise Corbyn you don't even support the means to implement that nothing.
