In response to #Metoo, this year's Geneva Motor Show has replaced its "booth babes"

I like your final point, but I can’t help recalling how you used to speak about the proles pre-brexit.

You seemed quite enamoured of the fact that democracy was a sham designed to make thick people feel like their opinions mattered while actually ignoring them.

That’s what you used to say, anyway.

I agree. And I regret my glibness. What I had perhaps underestimated until Brexit was the extent of the brainwashing. I really didn't grasp how intellectually unfit so much of the more educated classes had been allowed to become. I mean we now have younger generations who regard living under democratic government as much less important than do their parents and grandparents. I find that genuinely shocking. How in God's name can that have been allowed to happen?
