    I'm fairly sure she couldn't define sovereignty and it's not about immigration. She's Cornish so:
    1. There are no immigrants here so they don't feel swamped in the slightest.
    2. Don't matter if they're from Devon, Romania or Timbuk-fücking-tu, they're from the wrong side of the Temar and should all fück back off up country.

    All these articles and letters and posts from Leave voters saying "All 17.4m voted for the exact same reasons I did" are getting on my tits.

    There were myriad reasons which is why, given the closeness of the vote, there is no national majority for any outcome.

    Which, as we all know, is why this country's political establishment is in the clusterfück it currently is.

    This is why JRM feels he can push the govt into a hard Brexit. And why Sourbury, Ken Clarke and the Remainers think this then allows them to overturn the vote.

    I reckon I've studied pretty much every govt since Walpole and can't think of it every being this fücked.

    When Lord North lost the Septics, we had CJ Fox waiting in the wings which then led within a year to Pitt the Younger.

    Suez led to Supermac.

    Asquith had DLG, Chamberlain had WC, and the Tories twice had the bøllocks to actually split on the principle of free trade.

    Today? Fücked.
    Callaghan's government was pretty ****ed

    Much as I hate Maggie, the unions needed a slapping for bringing down Sunny Jim over the Winter of Discontent. {They threw away a 5% Lab lead that autumn so they only have themselves to blame.}

    Maggie could and did achieve this.

    Corbyn would not be able to unite the country behind any Brexit vision nor could his econ policies make up for the fall in growth a hard brexit would bring.

    In short, May, JRM and Jezza make the 1979 situation seem like the Great Reform Act and the emancipation of slaves.

    We iz fücked, bruv.

    I think they mid to late 70s and early to mid 80s were pretty ****ing awful for all concerned, and not just because I was born.

    We iz ****ed, to coin your phrase, but I firmly believe that Corbyn can sort this mess out. He has my vote

    As I say, I'm a Lab member but if you think tens years of Jez will be better for the economy than ten years of Maggie was, I think you may be being a little optimistic.

    The shadow chancellor's still saying the only thing wrong with Venezuela is that it wasn't socialist enough. And Maduro makes Milton Friedman look like father fücking Christmas.
