LBC caller claims Brexit will be fine because of 'bulldog spirit'

[Soph0571]

Are you saying you voted Leave. Now you know you were lied to, but hey, politicians always lie, so I'm not going to get too upset over this one?

But the moment that really riles the presenter is the one in which Chris offers the kind of meaningless soundbite that has become all too common in the discourse around Brexit.

I think the British bulldog spirit will show through. We'll rise above it all.

When quizzed by O'Brien as to what 'British bulldog spirit' actually means, Chris couldn't quite convey what it stands for (presumably it's nothing to do with Davey Boy Smith).

The conversation goes around in Pythonesque circles before the host eventually concludes he's had enough

This is what we are dealing with folks - this level of delusion is literally nuts. Where the hell do we go with this?

1. Sadly not an uncommon sentiment

Especially among baby boomers who never experienced the hardships of WW2 rationing and air raids.

2. Bulldog spirit? Well, look what isolation and loss of diversity have done to those poor dogs.

British bulldogs were once fine healthy dogs; but they have been so over-bred and often inbred for the sake of 'breed characteristics' that they are now mostly extremely unhealthy animals, with breathing difficulties and other health problems. Their life expectancy is under 7 years. It's reached a stage where some people consider it actively cruel to breed these dogs.

Perhaps a symbol of what fanatical isolationism might do to Britain.
