Spiked online's brilliant piece

This piece by the  editor Mick Hume is so good I quote extensively from it below in case my links  do not work

The dread word ‘Brexit’ is rarely allowed out on its own these days. Instead it must always be accompanied by a minder – an adjective whose job it is to warn us that Brexit is a very bad boy. Instead of leaving the European Union on 29 March, Britain is facing a ‘Brexit disaster’, a ‘cliff-edge Brexit’, a ‘car-crash Brexit’ or a ‘catastrophic no-deal Brexit’.
What all these phrases mean is: Brexit, aka leaving the EU. That is the true disaster for the Remainer elites, the ‘catastrophic’ fact that 17.4million dared to ignore their instructions and voted to Leave, and that the majority might get away with it. Political language must be designed and deployed to delegitimise Brexit.
So, the UK cannot simply step out of the EU, as we stepped into it, through complex-but-negotiable political channels. Instead we must be stepping off the cliffs of Dover into the depths of the Channel itself. Britain cannot just drive off in a different direction from the past 40 years and see where we get to. No, Brexit must be a car crash that will wreak havoc. One alternative to the violence of Brexit is of course a ‘soft Brexit’, like luxury toilet tissue, which means flushing away Brexit altogether and remaining tied to EU rules.
The other job of political language today is to demonise those who support Brexit. These insults are ostensibly directed at politicians, but are really intended for millions of Leave voters. It is no longer possible simply to be a Leave supporter or critic of the EU. ‘Brexiteer’ is another word rarely seen in public alone. Now you are described as a ‘hardline Brexiteer’, an ‘extremist Brexiteer’, even a ‘mad Brexiteer’.
These epithets are directed at those who support Brexit and want politicians to respect the referendum result. That, after all, was the manifesto which both the Conservative and Labour parties stood on in the 2017 General Election, winning more than 80 per cent of votes between them. Yet what was then an electoral promise is now evidence of the extremism and madness of hardliners, while reneging on that pledge is ‘common sense’.
