We are trapped in the tailspin of the end of the UK. Firmly headed downward and getting more and more frenzied and desperate.

Even the most sensible of types like David Allen Green have finally noticed that Brexit isn't about leaving the EU it's about the frenzied and wilful destruction of our state instutions and structure. The collapse of the civil service, of our justice system, our democratic institutions and social order. All in the name of rule Britannia, a warped sense of taking back control to preserve an ideal that never existed and an idea of sovereignity that simply was a fantasy.

We move ever closer to Johnson becoming Prime Minister and a life under President Trump.

Joy.

Ode to Joy really isn't that bad.

Good way to put it Element

I'm frustrated that there are still so few Tory rebels.

We wanted Aye. It helps break prorogation.

LASH mentioned John Timpson as being a good man who hires offenders. That is true and he is also a well known Brexiteer. So I am pointing that out. You can google articles by John Timpson to see his reasons for voting Leave.

Yep. I'm aware of that. But what's that got to do with not linking Trump and Brexit? They're not related parts of the conversation really.

The politics professor from UCL on bbc news (missed her name) says that vote will be law from what I can tell. As I answer my own question.
