Brilliant article Woody, thanks for posting that. I loved the line "Prime minister-in-waiting Boris Johnson is merely the winner of a Winston Churchill impersonation contest."  Smile)

Hang on, it's true!

I suspect that Boris was hoping for a "remain" outcome and is now having second thoughts about the top job.  Being PM during a sh1tstorm may not be a good career move.

Most of the polls, the talking heads, the cream of the British elite thought remain would win the day. Camaron and his cronies tried a scare campaign, while only leave had a coherent reason and narrative of sorts, no matter how unsavoury. With years of being treated like fools, seeing living standards stagnate, a financial services industry that has become a gigantic parasite enjoying huge bailouts and an establishment that has slashed public services, should we be surprised that so many people sought to give the establishment a bloody nose?

Now they and we all live with the consequences.

If one of the fall outs is a deep recession and high unemployment, yes, I think we can be surprised.

I think this article by John Harris in the Guardian covers it off pretty well too.
