‘England - Britain - has not gone mad’

Yesterday’s post had a dig at those people in Ireland who like to believe Brexit is driven by nostalgia for the British Empire.

By coincidence this lazy stereotype - which depicts us as fundamentally racist - has been well and truly roasted in the Irish Times today.

Responding to Fintan O’Toole, one of Ireland’s leading columnists, John Lloyd, a contributing editor at the Financial Times, writes, 'Why Fintan O’Toole has got Brexit all wrong' (Irish Times).

Worth reading.
