One more point

Just think, if you get treated the same as us, you only have to wait about forty years to get another vote.

Now you know how it feels....enjoy.

Really succinct but totally accurate description.

I have some guests from the USA here at the moment who are staying in a very respectable and normally quiet local Hotel. After our dinner last night I returned them to the Hotel just before 11 to find the lobby and lounge area taken over by a large group of seriously weird people. They must be local but they were all unfamiliar to me. They looked and behaved in ways that reminded me of what passed for nightclubs in the 60s.

Where they had all crawled out from remains a mystery because I have never seen the like down here before. The men were dressed similarly and many had over long silver hair. They behaved like elderly football hooligans, extremely hyped up and noisy. Their ladies just stood around in embarrassed groups. At 11 they all started to sing "Rule Britannia" followed by "God save the Queen". Now I know they were all tanked up and over excited but it was a really weird sight to behold.

I have no idea if this was a typical Brexit "party" but if it was then I am so glad I wasn't invited to one! Not that I would have gone, even if I wasn't already busy elsewhere.

We are, of course, now in a new era. Now that the stupid triumphalism has given way to hangover headaches and the realisation that Monday will just be another Monday let me predict a few things.

For the past 4 years we have heard little more than the standard "grass is greener in the next field" arguments from the Brexiteers. Arguments which always find fertile ground in the minds of those who are perpetually dissatisfied, and who believe that any change must be better than what we have now.

Well now the pendulum has swung. We are in that field, with many, if not most, of us wishing we weren't. Some might have followed as willing sheep but lots of us have been herded there against our will.

If and when those willing sheep find that the grass doesn't taste so good, or there's not enough to go around, then their dissatisfaction is going to return pdq. Ours is already there.

So the "grass is greener" justification will soon be replaced by the "jam tomorrow" excuses. Give us time they will plead, these things always take time. Which is true, but if people ignored the truth before then they will again.

The boot is now firmly on the other foot. Many of the trumpeted promises have quietly been despatched to the "don't mention the war" filing cabinet. Who now, for instance, mentions the £350 million a week for the NHS?

You might think it's forgotten but it hasn't been and won't be.

If Brexit doesn't deliver then the pressure will very soon become pretty intense. How effective that pressure is depends on whether a functioning opposition can emerge. If it doesn't then I really fear for our future.

A nation collapses in sobbing gratitude at this noble sacrifice but you’ve only got yourself to blame. If you’d only applied yourself we wouldn’t be in this desperate situation.
