1/3 #Brexit is as if the shareholders of #UK plc were asked by a criminally irresponsible MD to bypass the board & make a Yes/No vote on the most complex issue imaginable about which none of the directors agreed, either in terms of what it meant or what the outcome might be.
2/3 Those shareholders knew far less about it but, triggered by years of speculative, prejudiced nonsense in the popular press & cynically lied to by the side with most to short term gain, ended up voting 52/48 % for a hugely risky venture which could literally crash the company.
3/3 Now the press is hell bent on rounding 52% up to 100 & 48% down to 0 &, with the MD having fled the scene, it is the lonely, frightening task of directors like @Anna_Soubry to try & minimise the damage in the face of death threats from the demented winners of #Brexitshambles.
