I am particularly fascinated by Nostramit's predictions and am waiting for the Bladerunner-esqe post apocalyptic vision of hell he predicted for post referendum Britain to become a reality and also waiting for 2021, when according to our sage, the streets of Britain would be filled with blackshirts looking to invoke a racial war, presumably using the Manson family's theory of 'Helter Skelter' as inspiration.

A comma would have been fine.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

After the argument about whether you could start a sentence with 'And'...I thought I'd leave that 'sentence starting' chestnut alone.

I also left the question mark you used for a statement alone.

I'm all for pedantry and don't mind being corrected myself if it can teach something useful.

You lost that one, i seem to remember. And using a '?' to end a half-statement/half-question sentence is fine as it is too when it is rhetorical.

Debatable, as is much in grammar. Using 'And' to start a sentence still seems like crowbar English to me. Still, I do it myself occasionally so I'm a hypocrite there. I certainly only use pedantry now to make silly put-downs. I know it's pointless and that I probably make just as many mistakes: I try though.
