I don't need to be told about how important the upcoming EU
Referendum is to the UK. I am not in need of scaremongering on either side and I
appreciate the irony in me moaning yet adding to an already bloated social
media newsfeed of opinion on the matter. Where my vote will land is well known
to those who know me and I don't feel a desire to evangelise it on here, wasting
both your and my precious time. However, as a writer, historian and burgeoning
social commentator of sorts, I cannot help but take the wider view on this unfolding
event. I don’t recall a single issue in my lifetime that has divided so many people
right down the middle. In the era of slacktivism - where armies of keyboard warriors grow ever more enraged and less empathetic behind their monitors - it metaphorically resembles an
English civil war, separating not only political parties but even families and households. Please note that this article will not be using the horrid buzzword Brexit or its forced counterpart Bremain. I don't wish to encourage tribalism but tolerence over individual decisions on an undeniably important issue.
