No, no, Anon 14.14: those who voted Remain were not treasonous (or at least only a handful, I imagine). At a very rough estimate, 60 per cent of them were simply ignorant of the nature/purposes of the EU and (as in 1975) thought the status quo was the "safe option"; 35 per cent were misguided idealists; and 5 per cent had some immediate material interest in the outcome. I think Anon 14.03's comment was directed towards those hardened Remainers who have refused to accept the democratic verdict and appear ready to stick at almost nothing on order to undo it. I'm sure these are only a small minority, but they seem to be a highly vocal and influential one.

But why are you all posting anonymously? And why are some of you (14.37 for example) so abusive? What (apart from bad manners) have you got to hide?
