There is always the option of at least entering a polling booth but "spoiling" the paper as a gesture re the shit choice that is available to voters - I'm sure there are millions of decent voters out there who do feel that way and have not got a clue who to vote for while there are other numpties who know that Johnson is a buffoon but they'll vote for him anyway - a bit like the Trump phenomenon that SCO has referred to before where this lunatic broad base of support would back him even if he murdered somebody in Times Square.

Yes, Matt, that's the view from South Yorkshire as well.

And if I hear one more time that Margaret Thatcher would have sorted Brexit, I won't be responsible for my actions!

The mere mention of Thatcher "gets my hackles up" even after all the previous years of real hardship that this shameless, uncaring Tory PM imposed on whole communities of people, in some cases even destroying them!! Ian Rankin's (the author) live bbc radio comment a few years ago really summed up how many people in the UK despised this callous woman - "I'd piss on her gravestone" said Ian, who was from a Fife mining community and not a narrow minded, stupid person either!! Strong stuff and can you remember during the Tory leadership period in the summer how many of these Tory candidates, some of them women, had pictures of Thatcher placed on their desk or table - wowwwwwwwww!!!?? It reminded me of German officers in war movies with their pictures or paintings of Hitler!! Also how often have you ever seen a state/govt try to ban a hit record - remember the huge popularity of the song, "The wicked witch is dead", amid the celebrations when Thatcher died!! The Tory fanatics/Thatcher lovers just couldn't take the irreverence from many people throughout the country!! Unbelievable but it sums them up in a nutshell!! A lotta people in England seem to have very short memories. Indeed the fickleness is breathtaking!!
