Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

You Can't Roll It Back

 Brexit is largely an attempt to roll back global integration and the future of multiethnic communities. Trumpism was like that, too. The results from Brexit suggest strongly that you simply can't roll it back without significant pain. 

Economies and communities do not emerge overnight. They evolve. The slower the evolve, the more durable they become. The shock of Brexit and the flight of Continental Europeans is leaving Britain reeling. Frankly, "they" deserve it, and by they, I mean the bare majority the supported this fustercluck because they were horrified that their gardener spoke Romanian.
