We're not a bad lot really, are we?

[Burney]

We have, effectively, a power vacuum at the top of governement, there is no functioning opposition party, 50% of the population are angry with the other 50%, and we're facing the biggest political, constitutional and economic changes in 70 years.

In most other countries there would be tanks on the streets now. There would be barricades and petrol bombs.

We put the kettle on and have a whinge on social media.

wd Brits.

Well it's only politics at the end of the day, isn't it? All good fun, really. Nothing serious.

My favourite thing is the odd bedfellows it's created, with southern, middle-class Tory Brexiteers speaking of their damp-eyed solidarity with white, working class northerners who've never voted Tory in their lives and Guardianista lefties suddenly letting the mask slip to reveal their rampant snobbery, ageism and anti-democratic instincts to side with the likes of Goldman Sachs against the uppity oiks. It's hilarious, really.
