A second referendum on Brexit could prove disastrous for Labour

A number of Labour MPs, persistent critics of Jeremy Corbyn, including David Lammy, Mike Gapes, Wes Streeting, Rushanara Ali, Margaret Hodge, and Tulip Siddiq are calling for a second referendum on Brexit.

The Borough in which I live, Lambeth, polled the second highest 'Remain' percentage in the country, including my vote. When the result came out I was taken aback. My initial thoughts were, WTF? 

When I analysed the areas that voted Brexit, along with the age demographics, I thought, "Fucking idiots." Regions that had benefitted greatly from EU monies over the years choosing to leave. Elderly people who voted Brexit were being selfish as well as fucking over their grandchildren's futures. 

Neither camp covered itself in glory during the EU referendum. Both sides used dishonest ways and means to progress their views. The whole campaign lacked honesty from both sides. 

But then, that's the way Britain conducts its politics. At every election that's held the British public is lied to on an industrial level. Yet we blithely dance to the tunes that get our mojo working.

We live in a country that has lost much of its faith in what has become a political class. Holding another referendum on Brexit would be wrong. What little faith there is in politicos would vanish. Those traditional Labour areas that voted Brexit could be lost.
