It's deeply depressing to see the Britain-European Union debate reduced to a spat between two old Etonians. What happens, I suppose, when politics is so systematically debased into personality (or absence thereof) & knee-jerk reaction to Big Words such as The Economy or Immigration or Best for Britain. Say them often enough & with sufficient invective & you'll get a reaction.

An article in the Telegraph caught my eye suggesting that it is just conceivable that Boris Johnson & Donald Trump could be in power before Christmas.

It's like an awful dream, isn't it? But how do we all wake up?
