If you google "What is cancer?" after being diagnosed with it, does that mean that you don't know what cancer is, or that you don't know about it in the detail that you now expect to need?

The upper middle class think that everyone who works with their hands is a failure, and are willing to believe the worst about them.

People were lied to. Some of them believed the lies.

Borris and Farage said that £350m will go to the NHS. Here's a picture of Borris by a sign that he had created for his campaign:

It says "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week"

Here's a picture of their campaign bus:

That says "We send the EU £350 million a week

Let's fund our NHS instead"

What have the Brexit campaigners said the day after the referendum?

Here's Farage explaining that saying it was a "mistake" to say the £350m per week would go to the NHS.

This is just as stupid a generalisation as 'all brexiters are stupid'.
