    He agreed that his performance was weak. His unique selling point is that rest are delusional. If he does actually stop the UK leaving, until sanity prevails , he will have done the UK a great service.

    That it is 5 years old is not at issue, because I was referring to the Scottish Referendum. But it would deserve READING the article closely At no point does the Spanish Government use the word VETO, ..that is the comment by the Guardian Reporter. Both this and the BBC website item of...
