And I don't understand either, David. How is it possible to "leave rotten Europe" without getting out of the rotten EU? Staying in = leaving Europe? Huh? We should remember that in the famous vote only 1 in 50 Brits pushed it over the line, and another 1 in 50 could have cancelled the whole time-wasting farce. As I've asked here before, had the result been exactly reversed, and I (as a leaver) had demanded a re-run because only 1 in 50 Brits had pushed it over the line (it's called democracy) would you have thought that a reasonable demand? I suspect not. As to your bafflement that if the deep state had really wanted to kill Brexit they could have (they fixed Skripal so why not this) they all thought it WAS fixed and that the popular vote hadn't a chance of voting Brexit. They (the establishment) were so out of touch with the rest of the country, such as the north-west where I live, and secure in their own self-delusional bubble, that they could not contemplate an external reality that contradicted theirs. They simply refused to accept it. It was only towards the latter stages of the campaign when the polls were getting too narrow for comfort that they panicked like crazy and wheeled out Tony Blair to write opinion pieces in the Fraudian about cliff-edges and jagged rocks below. You really had to be living in the UK to sense all around you (where I live anyway) that most people were so cheesed off with being told what to do and what to think, they thought Feck this for a game of soldiers, I'm not taking it any more. That's why the pundits who blamed racists and migrant-haters for the result are so out of touch; yes, there were some who held those beliefs and voted accordingly, but they were vastly outnumbered by ordinary folk who had been shat upon for the past 20 years, their plight unheeded, their voices ignored, that they simply rebelled. Several people said to me, when I told them I was voting to leave, But you're on the same side as Boris Johnson! How could you? My riposte was, Well, you're on the same side as Tony Blair. Happy about that are you?
