    Patriotism, so often a euphemism for xenophobia and racism.

    They're all in favour of brexit because of that disclosure thing that will come into effect early next year. We just need to keep in there until that time and they will be stuffed - hopefully.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    You're absolutely right, B3.  The problem is that the rich have always had the ability to convince the poor to vote against their own economic interests.  This is a fact but the psychological reasons behind the phenomenon are rather complex.

    It may also be that all of the media are owned by the rich. ;)

    The "right wing" ones, certainly, B3.  As Zoe indicated on p.74, the non-tax paying but crowd manipulating filthy rich own them.
    Desmond, the UKIP supporting is the owner of Express and Star.  I believe the Express claimed that the Queen said, "give me 3 good reasons for staying in the EU."  So she dressed herself in the EU flag when opening Parliament last October!
    I also believe that Prince Philip refers to that publication as "that bloody rag."
    The vile Mail is owned by Rothermere, the Telegraph by the Barclays, the Sun and Times by Murdoch and the Independent and Evening Standard by Levedev.  All of them filthy rich and Tory or UKIP supporters.
    On the other hand, I believe the Mirror and the Guardian are not owned by an individual, as such.
    It is, perhaps, worth noting that the Sun is designed to be understood by someone of the literary ability and intelligence of a 7 year old.  I shouldn't be surprised if that's not the case with the Mail too.

    Brexit: the sport of the filthy rich:

    Of course, many swalled the lies served by the right-wing press and self-serving politicians as they had an emotional attachment to the idea of our country regaining "sovereignty". But interfering Russia - along with Trump - has now shown its colours:
