It is with real sadness that I would like to give Professor Richard Dawkins a cunting. He has been a hero of mine for many years with his rational mind pitted against various religious nut jobs.

But recently he’s taking to posting anti-leave tweets which go against that rationality, such as:
“I’m collecting reasons people give for their vote. Here’s one to get the ball rolling: I voted Leave because “It’s nice to have a change.”

I understand he voted remain and I don’t really have a problem with that (much), it’s the automatic assumption that people who voted leave did so for stupid reasons and people who voted remain did so for intelligent reasons. I’m sure there were stupid reasons on both sides, but all the leave voters I know (including the ones on this forum) did so for perfectly rational reasons and I do not like to see them constantly denigrated.
