Quotes from the text work like this: You can see the author's opinion in the metaphors and similes he uses: "an ocean of knobheads"(l. 7), or "going through with Brexit is like driving towards a cliff and removing the breaks" (ll. 8-9). He thinks that most of the people on the leave side are not intelligent enough to see the consequences. The simile, in its extremes, has an hyperbolic and ironic effect on the reader. Every intelligent person would not drive off a cliff or remove the breaks.
