A Brexit undercurrent



source

There is an undercurrent here. We often see it when Donald Trump is attacked by his political opponents in the media - a horrible lurking suspicion that Trump might be smart and those who voted for him knew what they were doing. It still sours much of what Trump's opponents write and say - diminishes what they say and diminishes them.

We may be seeing the beginnings of something similar with Boris. He is certainly smart enough to imbibe a lesson or two from Trump's abrasive way of keeping his opponents off balance. Boris may yet stumble, fail or make too many compromises but the undercurrent is there.

'Maverick' seems to describe both chaps, and aren't we better off for them!

I just love seeing squabbling lefties wandering around, getting it wrong, and becoming even more confused.

Go Boris!

Scrobs - yes we are better off with them. Politics has attracted far too many bureaucratic quibblers who merely go along with whatever the permanent bureaucrats tell them.
