Scotland voted against it, ‘buyers remorse’ going on in England where the main parties won’t entertain another Referendum
No coincidence then that the Green Party is fasting growing party in England
Trump‘s pal Farage has 5 MPs but gets amplified daily in MSM here

Reached same as when my grandmother used to say: “I’m too old to care anymore…”
But, I’m adding“…about offending prejudicial populists…”

Tragedy & Comedy analyse the same Themes: the 1st impacts the audience with Sadness; the 2nd has them laughing at there so-called ‘Betters’
The core of the best Comedy is Paradox for it puts Realities on the high-wire without benefit of a safety net for its Subjects
Like Labour’s Change

Carts and horses: Populism realised that turnout at elections averaged 60%+ and as witnessed first with Brexit then Trump the 40% who rarely if ever voted were targeted online with messaging tailored to their prejudices
Labour now on this bandwagon

Labour’s pre-election slogan ‘Change’ has rapidly decomposed into ‘Absurdity’: Labour vote to keep kids and pensioners in Poverty but blame others for leaving them no ‘Choice’.
So point fingers and blame others for ‘Change’ become Thatcherite Choices.
Then insist the Scots government fixes it.

I’ve lived and worked in London on 2 occasions: first in early 70s; 2nd mid-80s.
Auld enough to remember ‘working class Tory voters’ in Scotland.
Certain dots connect All: royalists, dismissive of ‘foreign’ influences & people, pride in being ‘British’ and not something ‘Other’.

I’m OK. Still enjoying retirement. The bridge in pic still has the original hand crank mechanism for opening closing but can only be used with prior permission from Canal authority.
Further east on the canal are these from Celtic mythology…

The canal attracts fishermen/women and small yachts….

View- just behind my house- of the canal that links the River Forth on Scotland’s east coast with the River Clyde on the west and runs just south of the historic wall built by the Romans and named after their emperor Hadrian.
