    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I actually agree with that. Electorate are certainly more materialistic and perhaps greedy but giving in and walking away is surely not the answer. Surely there is a place for a more modern approach to socialism. Looking after all of us shouldn't be out of reach for a wealthy country.

    French really helped threatening to cut power, which turns out was a none threat anyway, so just served to fan flames. (Jersey spokesman insisted Islands are capable of producing all their own anyway??) Not Micron's finest hour... But then again he doesn't have one.
