Referendum.

Madhouse.

Cameron opted for a Referendum, which was really stupid, because in a referendum huge numbers of people decide the issue, and huge numbers can’t possibly understand something as complicated as Britain’s EU involvement. Still, Cameron’s decision came as no surprise because he has shown himself to be mentally challenged practically every time he has opened his mouth in the last eight years.

Boris (after eight years running London in exemplary fashion) wins the referendum with wonderful help from Gisela Stuart and Andrea Leadsom, and a little help from his manservant, Michael Gove (fresh from messing up the nation’s education). The plan is for Boris to offer himself as a candidate for Prime Minister, with Gove on hand to offer the magic sponge if the going gets tough.

Whereupon the appalling amanuensis stabs his master in the back by deciding, at the very last minute, that instead of continuing to fetch and carry, he will apply for the job of Prime Minister himself, thus removing a hefty slice of the support which was meant to be putting Boris into 10 Downing Street.

So Boris decides not to enter the competition.

The vile Gove then had the cheek to say that, the night before entries had to be in, he suddenly realised that Boris “had failed to pass the test” (whatever that means) and was not the man “to heal the rift in the Conservative party or to lead the country.”

Gove’s treachery will give him nightmares (the nocturnal visitations may already have started) because he hasn’t got the guts to be a proper villain, let alone a proper leader. In fact it is pretty certain that his courage (if any) will fail him when he begins to understand what he has done.

It just so happens that Andrea Leadsom is competing for the Tory leadership. If the “Leadsom, Stuart, Boris trio” re-formed (Curses! I was forgetting that Stuart is Labour, the other two Tory). So, start again….if Boris helps Andrea win the Tory leadership and become Prime Minister, and Andrea invites Gisela to become Minister for the Great Escape from Europe (cross-party cooperation), the trio could do well and have fun, and give the nation hope, while the unspeakable one writhes his way from pavement to gutter to sewer, and onwards and downwards until he reaches the level to which he belongs. Not a lot of company down there. Serves him right.

The news is not good. But hope springs eternal.

Donec.

PS Theresa May is showing her caring side (the gently smiling vicar’s daughter dedicated to public service since the nursery). We try not to be dazzled by the speed with which she became a Brexit as soon as a vacancy at Number 10 Downing Street was advertised.  We also understand that some of the blame for the mess in which we find our immigration problem can be traced to the woman in charge.

Besides, a Brexit government needs a genuine Brexit leader.  ANDREA LEADSOM was superb in the campaign and is the only aspirant to tick all the boxes. Worth thinking about.
