Brexit should destroy the Tory Party for ever. Farage left it to form UKIP and start the whole campaign, backed by Banks’ money and technology we still don’t fully understand. Cameron cooked up the referendum as a way of trying to settle the Tories’ intractable internal differences and stop the electoral threat of UKIP. He didn’t expect to lose. When he did, he resigned. Farage ‘won’ and immediately waddled off to LBC. Now Davis and Johnson have gone too.
‘What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns then you ran off home for your tea
Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy’
(The Jam – Eton Rifles)
Left us all standing, a rudderless nation riven by tribalism.
What a bunch of cowards.
What an Eton mess.
