"Brexit is, in truth, an expression of English nationalism, a project of the southern English middle classes seeking a return to the global greatness they feared they had lost after the Second World War."

What utter pompous drivel.

The average Brit just wants to get back control of their own Country and be able to legislate for what takes place within it's borders, instead of  having such decisions made by unelected & unaccountable beaurocrats from Countries spread far and wide across the European continent.. 

Presumably the writer would be happy to pool Canadian soveignty and legislative control with Paraguay, Bolivia and Equador ?
