Letter to the I: Brexit Pain Letter


I am frankly astounded at Anne Benninger's commentary on Mark Wallace's article.  The 'we have had it worse' argument is baffling, nonsensical and hardly a convincingly enthusiastic endorsement of Brexit.  How far back must we go into the horrors of British history in order to keep our chins up?  Am I right to understand that Brexit won't be as bad as a civil war or a light sprinkling of plague?  What a relief!  It is incredible how easily the narrative of enduring pain has come into the pro-Brexit play book.  I could of sworn we were promised a utopia.  A utopia with pain sounds a little bit ominous.
