Jim, I expect that at worst Brexit will give the working class one less teetering vestige of monopoly capitalism to overthrow. Even the ruling class can't find its way out of the maze Euro-banker bureaucracy calls the EU. How does anyone exert any pressure for change when the real power lies in Berlin or Brussels or Strasbourg?

You often embrace ideas which are of the left; you want a better and fairer society apparently, but you think you'll get it by whingeing. For Scots Westminster is a distant enough power ........ what do you think you going to do in the European Parliament when you're gazing up at the pretty colours designed as a sop to the notion of diversity?

Minimal as the chances are, there is some small hope of achieving change if we can begin to identify where the power lies within our own supposedly INDEPENDENT country, but once our ragged-trousered Parliament is rendered totally irrelevant by spent-force nations like Germany, France and Italy sicking up the mucus of a compliant Euro-Parliament under the rule of a monster bureaucracy, the working man and woman are done. They can never be anything but victims of power. Voting becomes completely pointless. Protest has no focus. They'll get crusts and the occasional piece of cake like some form of Third World Development Project. Bend over and we'll give you some butter.

Choose a compliant future to avoid a little disruption now if you want. Personally, I refuse.
