Someone is now planning another lawsuit over Brexit. Cos we really need another one. The one we have isn’t really enough trouble that civil war is now imminent and the entire judiciary is about to be sent to a gulag in Hartlepool until they can ‘learn to get the right answers’.
Now someone is intending to demand another referendum (NOOOOOOOO!!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT, ANYTHING!!!!) because of false claims made by both camps during the pre-vote debacle. Mainly by the Leavers but both sides stretched the truth way beyond the point where it had any truth left in it.
£365million A DAY TO GO TO THE NHS IF WE LEAVE!!!! Oh fuck off. But that kind’a thing.
So because of these misleading (to the electorate) distortions, the vote has no validity.
As if MPs are honour-bound to be honest. They should be, but they’re not. The only ‘check’ in place is the other side. If they think claims are wrong or totally exaggerated they can say so and use it as a rod to beat the enemy with.
And then I heard a fantastic statistic. Not that I believe in anyone’s statistics unless I know who’s paying for it. But this seemed valid. As I heard it spoken by a comedian on a current affairs quiz show. Can’t be more significant than that, surely?
They’ve been monitoring every word spoken by Clinton and Trump (haven’t we fucking all) and have calculated that Hillary runs at 24% true statements. Which apparently, and rather disgustingly, is perfectly average at the hustings. Trump runs at 4%. And that includes stating his name, rank and serial number.
America is all wrong for us, time-wise. The elections don’t start til lunchtime and by the time Hawaii has finished it’ll be tomorrow morning. Not that you learn much whilst voting is taking place. But I’m going to stay up anyway (yeah; right) and watch the baseball-hatted nation as it leaves the polls. And I’m going to have an ‘American themed party’. Not sure what to serve foodwise, not sure it even matters, as long as the portions are FUCKING HUMUNGOUS.
Happy US Voting Day
