    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is when his constituency party members should step in and deselect him by making it public that he no longer represents their views. They should demand honesty and decency from their MP but will they do that? Sadly, from the vermin in ermine right down to the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really do have some fanciful notions 'Woosh'! Do you really believe that the British electorate thought that the myth of a special relationship with the USA was reason enough to motivate them to vote leave? I'm starting to doubt your sanity! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would advise against extrapolating data in the field of politics as there exists considerable empirical evidence to suggest that logic does not necessarily apply - the pundits, pollsters and various market researchers have had their fingers burned on several occasions over recent years.
