The post-truth era is well and truly here. Make up a story, pitch it to elicit an emotional response and claim it as the "truth" .. and when anyone questions this "truth", reply with childish name calling.
Meanwhile, reality sails on by.
This reality includes trying to resolve a crisis created by the referendum. The solution involves the whole country working together in the interests of the whole country. Yes, these interests do include the 63% of the electorate who did not vote to Leave.
It is the "Leave at any cost" zealots that pose the real risk to this country's future prosperity. These are the ones that need watching.
The Government's duty to is to get the best deal for the country and if this means Leaving the EU on terms that do not match the alt-right post-truth holy grail then ... tough.
I would rather live in a country determined by common sense and good Governance than one guided by zealous dogma.

I'll trump your 63% of the electorate who did not vote to leave with 79.7% who did not vote to remain.
Try and argue your way out of that one! Please prove my figure wrong as it is based on the same calculation you made for yours.
This is the result that matters not ficticious figures pulled out of the air. (see attatched image)
