On topic. Is anyone surprised by the fact that, whatever the pros and cons of Brexit, it exposes a deepseated fundamental rift between those who are far from convinced that nation states are the best way for the mass of humanity to co exist on the planet and those who do. All the rest is just detail.
Off topic. I am happy to have highlighted the duplicity of Gurney in my post above. If calling him a hypocrite is too harsh .. presumably because he couldnt see how such moralistic postings as the one quoted above are irreconcilable with his previous tactics …. then a simple acknowledgment and apology does the trick. Shall I hold my breath?
