But what has just happened ?
In England politics has suddenly become the new reality soap, with behaviour that would make a banana republic blush, it seems like the 'in -out' referendum had not a lot to do with EU membership after all and has just been 'used' as an excuse to start a bar-brawl in all the mainstream political parties. It's like a husband-wife scrap in a bar and everybody else just starts joining in.
Scotland thought that the EU would welcome them with open arms but they forgot that the Spanish (and lesser) France has independence issues of their own to deal with in Basque areas and Catalonia, so Scotland gets support in the form of "oh hi there, welcome you know where the fridge is ,we're just off out" - like an unwelcome relative.
Boris Johnson is like the spoilt kid who has just upturned all the furniture, messed up the house and refuses to help get it back together. Nigel Farage is -well- Nigel Farage which is worse. David Cameron has left the building and nobody knows anymore who is dong what, who wants what and if anybody is interested in running the country, in a week time England has had a national mental breakdown and the local Chemist has run out of anti depressants.
In the Labour party, there is the real threat that the party will split, so there would be two inefficient parties claiming to support the 'masses' who in turn don't believe in either of them so it seems.
So as the saying goes 'it's all gone tits up', and summer is yet to begin.
I can't help but have the feeling that we are witnessing history- no I don't mean Wales's historic win against Belgium- it's like Europe has had it's chance, had it's day at the races, and now is teetering on the edge of slipping into disorder and chaos, and we -the people- are watching,like it's a final episode of a really tacky soap, if Angela Merkel addresses the EU and starts playing a fiddle -run!
But there again, it might be ok, but not today, 'cos it's raining.
