People’s eyes are glazing over’: Brexit fatigue grips Basildon

[AtW]

Over a German lager at the outdoor Christmas market in central Basildon, Essex, Sean Brannigan tweaked the brim of his West Ham cap and took a moment to contemplate the “mess” he held Theresa May responsible for as five days of debate on Brexit kicked off at Westminster.

She needs to start speaking in language that people can relate to, whether they’re a leaver or a remainer, like me, because at the moment people’s eyes are just glazing over,” said the 45-year-old bricklayer, whose childhood memories of growing up in 1970s Belfast influenced his choice during the 2016 poll.

While Brannigan fully recognised he was in a minority in part of the country that recorded a 68.8% leave vote, his view that voters were generally fed up with Brexit’s media omnipresence was echoed by many going about their business around him.

Some Brexiters may have Brexit fatigue but their selfishness will destroy many people's livelihoods, jobs and even personal relationships not just for some EU citizens but also for many thousands of Brits.

Lol, Brexit fatigue. This is just the end of the beginning, we’ve got decades of this ahead of us regardless of Deal, No Deal, or Remain.

Settle in for the long haul and enjoy the ride....

FFS! If your personal relationship fails due to Brexit then it must have been a pretty tenuous arrangement in the first place.

My Spanish friend in the UK has indeed realised that she probably should never have had kids with a bigot in the first place. But Brexit gave him the confidence to give voice to his bigotry.

Indeed as everyone's eyes glaze over the will of the people will be overturned and no-one apart from a few fanatics will actually care.

I think there will be a small movement coalescing behind Tommy leading a renewed "Brexit revolution".

I'm tempted to invest in a keyboard manufacturer because I think there will be a lot of replacements required. I think this protest movement will be largely "keyboard" focussed.

Well anyone that has YOU as a friend clearly has judgment issues, so it is probably just the latest manifestation of her general stupidity.

They are bigoted opinions, you cretin. If this is a trigger for you, then take a look at your own cartoon or find a safe space.
