I prefer my politics to be more Gunfight at the O.K.Corral than the usual, Briitish lower middle class,circumspect, pseudo-polite parlour game of who can recite the most " facts ".

The EU Referendum has gone " Live ",and if the Public discourse wasn't weaponised before it's certainly become that now. Hallelujah to that ! Whereas most of our politicians sound just like corporate middle-management clones ,there are those, largely Conservative heavyweights,who still have some grasp of what rhetoric is supposed to be .

This gleaned from the Daily Telegraph of 16 April :-

In a separate speech in Nottingham, Mr Gove said: “[Remain’s] vision is so deeply and bleakly pessimistic and negative. What they are really saying is Britain, this country that we all love, is too small, too weak and it's people are too stupid to be able to succeed on our own without  the European Commission there to hold our hand and look after us.”

He added: “The EU has moved from being an idealistic vision so of us could have believed in into a job destroying, democracy denying extremism creating disaster.”

I believe  a remark accredited to Tony Benn also capture that indefinable quality; TB said something along the lines of " People are not inspired to fight for their country to defend its Gross Domestic Product ". Alas, most of the indolent swindlers,chancers and cretinoid careerists sojourning on the Benches at Westminster are convinced that facts and figures pristinely presented as a neutral and rational alone can provide sufficient basis for the Populace to come to a decision on, in this instance continued national subservience to an alien empire . It is the same type of pseudo-political idiot that,on a not too dissimilar basis supports the Bombing of yet another arab country or even more insanely, imposing economic sanctions against the Sovereign and democratic nation state of say, Russia. The faux-morality of an ever benevolent US of A is the lodestar for these pernicious and dangerous imbeciles who are unaware of their own stupidity. The ones, who if they were actually Christians - which self-evidently they aren't - would be the C.of E. whining and prattling on for century after century; their cloying waffle neutering every single spark of genuine reforming and restorative fervour .

And so we come to it in the end. Alas it won't be 1649 all over again;the big loser won't be getting beheaded -pity. On 23 / 6 WE shall declare Britain Free-free at last from the EU Tyranny !
