Brexit’s the word

-

AS A playful test of reactions, a friend challenged me with a word associatio­n a game he had based on pejorative p terms in current use.

These were his test words along a with my responses, which I believe to be fairly normal thanks to the scare tactics employed by the proponents of Project Fear. Disaster: Brexit. Crash: Brexit. Early death: Brexit. Catastroph­e: Brexit. Cliff edge: Brexit. World War III: Brexit. End of life as we know it: Brexit. No food or medicine: Brexit. Civil unrest: Brexit.

Xenophobe: Brexit voter. Racist: Brexit voter. Ignoramus: Brexit voter. The unwashed who should be disregarde­d: Brexit voter. MARTIN BURGESS,

Beckenham, Kent.
