Are we insulted at the mere mention of Brexit by non-Brits now? How bizarre.

(Actually - that gives me hope. If the shame gets too much, we as a nation might do the most British thing and quietly pretend it never happened)

It's more that they're shoehorning such a divisive political event into an otherwise completely unrelated article that insults me.

The connection is tenuous - brexit only being mentioned because it happened in Britain.

It just gave me the distasteful feeling that brexit was the only part of british culture - other than our penchant for roundabouts - that this commentator knew about. Part of british culture that half of the country probably still feels burned by.

Yep, sooner we get to the point that the average person would punch you in the face than admit to supporting Brexit the better.

More generally, if we want Britain to stop being a laughing stock, we need to stop acting like one.
