This is the most NSFW letter the FT has ever printed. And it nails what Brexit is really about

Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times, has just shared the “letter of the decade” – and he isn’t exaggerating.

Nicholas Boyle, a professor of German, wrote to the paper to make a very good point about a previous FT article.

He points out that the article explains how the pro-Brexit wing of the Conservatives are referred to as “f*ckers,” while Remainers are known as “wankers”.

He writes:

Surely this rhetoric inverts the truth? It is the Europobes who shut themselves away in self-gratifying fantasies, while the remainers know that real life is only possible through interaction with others.

And of course, Boyle is now being recognised as the genius he is.

Bravo.
