You kind’a expect a ‘legacy’ to be a good thing. A nice thing. A thing with value, either financially beneficial or emotionally rewarding. Auntie Rita dies and leaves you £362 and 47 lottery tickets (all old, used and worthless). Ahhhhh. Uncle Jack dies and leaves you his war medals. Ahhhhh.

So why does a ‘legacy’ become something different when in the public domain? When does the old cottage your dear grannie left you become The London Stadium? The Olympic ‘legacy’ which, although massively financially beneficial to West Ham United, has screwed the public, and is continuing to do so, out of more and more obscene amounts of money after that football club created the ‘deal of all deals’ to ensure they can play football forever there for 50 quid a week and the government can pay the rest.

Whereas David Cameron’s ‘legacy’ is even better. He left us a referendum. That most divisive of things. Because he was scared of Nigel Farage. And in doing so created the Mother of all Shitstorms which just carries on ‘giving’. But Cameron himself slimily slid away with his paltry resignation, as if it was the morally correct thing to do. To leave everyone else to try (and fail, and fail, and fail) to clean up his mess.

In a poll by the Times they found that 34% of Brits would now vote for a ‘hard brexit’ party. They’ll be the ‘leavers’ then. The lib-dems have been around, in various guises and changing names, since the Whigs in… 1634, or 1873, fucking long time anyway. And they have about 35% of the vote. Ok, they’re fairly cretinous but really, but even so. Scarier still is that 24% of pollees would join an anti-immigration, anti-Islam party. They’ll be the leavers too. Because despite anyone’s protestations, Brexit was always and only about immigration. As I’ve repeatedly stated. I’m not calling all ‘leavers’ racist, just the odd 98%. Or anti-immigration at least. My motto at the time: UKIP is the BNP with ties. Still applicable even though there’s (virtually) no UKIP and the BNP are a new acronym too because every time neo-nazi organisations are made illegal they just change their name and tweak their swastika-in-current-guise.

And this ‘new hard Brexit’ party is not merely hypothetical. They’re talking about it. Farage (quel surprise), Boris and a group of other mainly Tory defectors. Reckon they already have a £10mil fighting fund. Much of it sourced by Steve Bannon, Trump’s ex-guru and as far right as you can get in America without wearing a white robe and hood. And Bannon is also creating a new group over here called ‘Movement’, presumably nothing to do with constipation, in the literal sense, which will be the anti-Momentum group. Far right activists.

Otherwise, the country hasn’t been divided or polarised in any way, shape or form by (FUCKING!!!!) Brexit.

An interesting time for Britain. How do you spell ‘Canadian Passport Application’?

Happy Sunday
