As usual, maybe that comment is best targeted at those who continue to make ignorant generalisations about those who voted leave?

His generalisations are ignorant.
And responding with insults is going to rectify that?You are far from stupid Sidicks. Your methodology of harassing and insulting people ad infinitum is unwarranted and unwelcome. It just clogs up the boards with meaningless bickering and nonsense.
