Brexit

Polls had labour winning the last general election too.

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.

Spot on. To use a favourite word of the British elite, this is without doubt a case of "revenge of the oiks".

Poor old Boris too - if he gets the PM gig he going to become very acquainted with what it's like to be under pressure - not that I would have too much sympathy for him. It seems to me that he's been pretty much playing games so far. Now it gets real.

Also shows how far out of touch with every day folk and their fears and aspirations the Labour Party there had become.

Very valuable lessons to be learned for sure.
