//The signatories bemoaned the Brexit process, saying that Europe has been 'abandoned from across the Channel'//

Well they would, wouldn’t they? “Intellectuals” rarely suffer from the effects of the EU’s poor decision making and ridiculous policies. I doubt many of them are among the huge numbers of unemployed in the southern peripheral nations by the disaster that is the single currency. I doubt many of them live in the poorer areas which have seen huge numbers of illegal immigrants “redistributed” by the EU’s policies of handling the migration crisis.

Europe has not been abandoned by the UK, the EU has. The EU had its chance to keep us onside and it blew it. It does not do reform and does not recognise that the rebellion which they quaintly term “populism” is a direct result of their utter refusal to accept that people do not like what they are doing.

"Populists" are not racists and it is insolent to suggest they are. They're simply feed up with being told what to do, what they must accept and seeing their governments overruled by unelected foreigners.

I've heard in the past few days of people who voted to leave and who want a proper Brexit as "separatists". I suppose it's accurate and it's no wonder.
Populist, just an insulting synonym for democrat, used by those who believe their chosen elite should be able to do and enforce whatever suits them best without regard to the rest of society.
stop it! I'm welling up ere!
If Brexiteers are separatists then leavers are Integrationist.

Remain are using ever more devisive language and terminology to force their view of Brexit.

Exaggerate your opponents ‘faults’ down their throats in ever more harsh terms and you galvanise both sides.

Think the UK coming Apart also.
Parts of the UK threaten to, but the majority of voters with common sense vote against it.

(Can one be defined as separatist when one advocates withdrawing membership from a club, rather than splitting a nation ?)
