The middle classes cannot stop Brexit. Too many people have already earned a pay rise. Before the vote I remember an interview with a construction worker who said he was voting for the pay increase, almost as if he knew why and what he was voting for... almost as if the working class are the most intelligent in England, because they don't live in bubbles...
Working class people do not populate the social medias, so Remainers will always feel like they are the majority. The social media site REDDIT for example is mostly middle class males with tech related jobs. After the Brexit vote was won, some bro approached me on the street telling me he didn't use the internet and how he had voted Brexit. It was nice to hear from him, even though I didn't really care about the content, but more about how he seemed to feel for being HEARD.
The working class were told by the likes of Angela Merkel how they would have to be willing to move for jobs. A lot of middle class Remainers complaints are about how they are losing their expendable middle class jobs/businesses. As if moving isn't an option for them... because they are SPECIAL and used to having it THEIR way. They wonder how they might feed their families as if foodbanks aren't bountiful across the country... because foodbanks aren't for THEIR kind... it's for those OTHER people.
I'm positive that after Brexit eventually happens we will get sob stories in the papers from middle class people who have fallen, BECAUSE THEY MATTER, and everyone else who have already been affected by austerity, mental health cuts, mass immigration, emaciation, joblessness, homelessness... they DON'T MATTER. But they are the majority, and wheter it be Brexit, or something else, eventually the ground is going to open up, and they are going to consume THAT middle class that hides behind its privilege and washes its hand of responsibility for society.
