Tempers run high amid Brexiteers, so much that one of them declared that ‘If you now try to hold us in against our will you will be facing perfidious Albion on speed.’
Note that the term ‘Perfidious Albion’ is normally used pejoratively against Britain. (Someone sounds butttthurt!)
Note 2: While the phrase is said to have been coined as far back as 800 years ago, two centuries ago the French came up with this statement: ‘L’Angleterre, ah, la perfide Angleterre / que le rempart de ses mers rendoit inaccessible aux Romains / la foi du Sauveur y est abordée’ (England, oh perfidious England / Shielded against the Romans by her ocean ramparts / Now receives the true faith).
Note 3: The angry Brexiteer’s name is Mark Francois (oh perfidious irony!)
