We saw this last week with the snark aimed at #PeoplesVoteMarch; the Brexiteers on both sides KNOW they lost the argument months ago, so the only thing they can do is try to disqualify the opinions of Remainers by dismissing them as “middle class” (as are they, for the most part)
Now it’s easy to throw shit like that at me; university educated BBC Radio trained smart arse that I am (also working class parents, state school & non-Oxbridge & chronically skint, but whatever) but someone like Eddie poses a problem…
He’s too obviously NOT some sort of bourgeois fop to be dismissed; he might even - horrors - be taken seriously when he points out that Corbyn is gleefully sacrificing the well-being of the working class on the altar of his ideology...
But BINGO! He doesn’t like PUBS! He’s CHANGED! He’s betrayed his ROOTS! Dismiss and disqualify away! Phew that was close!
(The fact that the REASON he doesn’t like pubs is his childhood memory of drunken misogyny and domestic violence is to be tactfully ignored)

Every cheap ad hominem attack the Brexiters on the left AND right trot out just underlined how utterly they’ve lost the argument.
We’re right, they’re wrong and they fucking know it.

Come on then, fuckers. Pile on. See what happens.
