The Suns 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 dont feel quite the same. I have buyers remorse. A sense of being careful what you wish for. To be truthful, I am fearful of what lies ahead.

(101,311 posts)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'.

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.

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

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