Ah yes, the US election, the peculiar direct correlation of love, on here at least, between; Farage, Tory, Brexit and Trump to win.That's the problem with humans. scan_hav, tribalism......Whether it's schools, sports teams, countries, bits of countries, religions, ice-cream vans and yes, even politics, people want to feel like they belong with other like-minded people. Problem is, the like minded is more important than the thing they're like minded about, so it gets all heated and then snowballs into mob mentality.Incidentally, I don't think you're detestable either
Again - not for me there isn't.
Brexit - resounding yes.
Trump - an over-privileged frat boy, whose joke has gone too far. He hasn't the grasp on detail to be C-in-C. As soon as it gets messy he'll be off wanting to grab pu$$y in Trump Towers or play golf with Tiger.
Tory - Never have, never will
Farage - Is a politician and therefore not to be trusted, but is the best of a bad bunch. Very far from the 'man of the people' he wants to come across as though.
HTH

I was generalising a bit roger, and you, hank.There are others, saddo.

All Brexiteers aren't 'Little Englanders (funny how it's never 'Little Welshies') and all Remainders aren't 'luvvies'
We've got to figure out a way of living with all this, eventually.
