BENEATH THE MASK

Check out Brendan O'Neill's sobering account of the reactionary backlash taken by Europe's 'elite'  towards those who voted for Brexit. I mentioned in an earlier post that the left-wing makers of our current culture in their image, would not stand idly by and watch the 'little people usurp their power base and I have sadly been proved right...not that it took a genius to see what was coming down the turnpike:

This is as ugly an anti-masses sentiment as I can remember. And the consequences of it are likely to be dire. Ordinary people are effectively being told they're too dumb for politics. And democracy is being treated as a negotiable commodity that can be cast aside if we the stupid people make the wrong decision. This is a species of tyranny. The mask has slipped. Our normally conscientious elite, feeling bruised and aloof after the referendum, has dispensed with its usual platitudes about "respecting all views," and shown that beneath the polite veneer there lurks an ancient fury with the least and the dumbest; with the masses; with the people.
