May in her closing conference speech this week said the working class paid the price for the financial crash in 2008-9. The tragedy is that it is they who will pay for Brexit as well.
Many of those who voted leave seemed to believe we will somehow be better off separating ourselves from our largest export market where there are no trade barriers. They voted (apparently) as a protest at their own lives but leaving will only make matters worse. No one has had the courage to explain this yet and perhaps they won't be able to until economic reality arrives in a year or two.
