This rant from the British newspaper columnist and broadcaster Melanie Phillips is insane. It is hateful. It is nauseating. And it is instructive.

Arrogance on stilts.
No longer can this be called 'A voluntary union' if English politicians keep denying to recognise a legitimate mandate.
If Westminster cannot say what the mechanism is that we can use to leave, Then it is tantamount to a hostage situation.

Also with a former advisor to George Osborne.
