Sun's resident idiot Kelvin Mackenzie now regrets voting Leave after offering 10 reasons for Brexit

The Sun’s former editor and now resident columnist idiot says today he regrets voting for Brexit. Yes, you heard that right.



The man who could barely bring himself to apologise for Hillsborough has u-turned on Brexit within days.

In his column for the Sun today he says:


When I put my cross against Leave I felt a surge as though for the first time in my life my vote did count. I had the power.


Four days later I don’t feel quite the same. I have buyer’s remorse. A sense of being careful what you wish for. To be truthful, I am fearful of what lies ahead.

where a youngish child, enraged at not getting their own way, loudly announces their intention to run away from home, and stomps out of the house - and then changes their mind before even reaching the garden gate.

It's one thing an average voter not thinking things through and having some regrets afterwards, but this fuckhead has been paid for decades to pontificate and persuade people to agree with whatever he writes down. And now it turns out he either doesn't think about it, or writes down whatever he thinks Murdoch wants, and then might worry about it later?

I tend to think 'kelvin mackenzie' is just an insult, like 'dickhead'.

...a cautionary tale to low-information Right Wing voters everywhere.

I didn't realize that the Republicans would actually cut my Social Security... ...Future lament from a Stockholm Syndrome retiree giddy over the victory of President Drumph.

In the end the evisceration of the middle class has far more to do with these same low information morons falling for the RW/Fox News/Reagan Revolution Con Job grifters than the immigrants, terrorists, pro-abortionists, non-whites, liberals scapegoat du jour foisted on them as "the enemy" during the daily two minutes of hate. (Orwell's famous two minutes of hate is now 24/7 on Fox News.)

You bought the farm asshole. Unfortunately now we all have to reap the bitter fruit that you planted.

Those 80s Sun readers you so carefully cultivated are now Daily Mail readers. Leafy suburb & shire county nazis, behind their twitching net curtains.

A whole lot of this Brexit bollocks is directly your fault.

Has there always been this strain of utter, abject cretinism in the UK?

Or, has the dimwit demographic grown under the influence of a gutter press, numbing social media and dumbed-down schools?

I worked closely with Brits during my whole career and have Brit friends. Thank God, they belie this sad diagnosis.
