It comes as the former PM blasted "extreme Brexiteers" as "arrogant" in an extraordinary on-air outburst on the BBC, as he whinged about the term 'Remoaner'. Speaking with Nick Robinson on the Today programme, Mr Major said: "I'm very well aware that the extreme Brexiteers will repeat the old mantra about me being a bitter old Remoaner."
"It is partly true. I am old. And I am a Remainer. But I am not bitter. I am disappointed and angry with the way the Government has behaved.
"It is partly true. I am old. And I am a Remainer. But I am not bitter. I am disappointed and angry with the way the Government has behaved.
"As for Remoaner, to use that sneer against half of the country that voted against leaving Europe is pretty arrogant."
Taking to Express.co.uk to slam the former PM, readers did not hold back, with PhilSpace saying: “No John, no John, No John… The term ‘Remoaner’ refers to those who would ignore the result of a democratic vote.”
Adding to the argument, Anthony70 said: “There is no such thing as an ‘extremist’ Brexiteer’, they simply cast their vote and expected the winning result to be carried out regardless.”
He continued: “The Remoaners on the other hand don’t and won’t accept democracy and are still banding on about it over 5 years later. Now that is extreme.”
Many took to Mr Major’s term in office to highlight the character of the former PM.
JL77 said: “The sheer arrogance of John Major is staggering… You are anti-democratic. Anti British and a failed PM I have no respect for you whatsoever.”
