The Brexit vote, that fateful day that has so far increased the price of an Apple Mac by £300 and dropped the pound 20% against the dollar and the Euro (funny money used by the garlic eaters of Western Europe and the racists and anti-semites of Eastern Europe), was on June 23rd. Since that day, over 4 months ago, they are still talking about ‘having the vote again’.

Bad losers blame the system. Which is why the Liberal party has been banging on for Proportional Representation for 50 years.

The rationale behind the re-vote demander’s claim is that both sides misrepresented their ‘facts’ and effectively lied to the electorate, consistently and enduringly, they told lies, stretched hypotheses, distorted facts.

In which case every election in democratic history should be re-run. Posthumously where necessary. Politicians lie. Its what they do. The word ‘politician’ comes from the ancient Greek ‘poli’- lying, ‘ticia’- fucking scumbag. We know they lie. They all do. And cheat and use horrible and devious tactics.

I didn’t want to leave Europe. Mainly because I can’t see how my country will benefit by the cost of my holidays rising by 25%. But I accept the result. And however reluctantly I accept it, there will be no cry for a re-vote from this man. Unless someone is prepared to pay me £365 million a week to do so.

America is different. They vote directly for a person. Assuming either Hillary or Donald is a person. I’m not convinced. So the process starts off much more personal, much more contentious than our elections. And then it goes to the next level. Hyperspace level. Exponentially higher than the levels of bullshit us Brits are used to.

Don will only accept the result, basically, if he wins. Tosser. And why? Because he feels the press have conspired against him, and the Democrats too. He may even have a point. Every sane and sensible person SHOULD be conspiring against Trump. But that’s his position.

Then yesterday the FBI re-open the Hillary email-gate investigation that closed once in July. Re-opened 10 days before the election. And this is all Donald’s Christmases come at once. But will he then refuse to accept a victory (should he, heaven forbid, win) on the grounds that Hillary has been conspired against? Yeah, right.

Trump won’t see the hypocrisy in this, he’s way too self-centred to appreciate it. But you just have to ask why, and how, the FBI could suddenly do this, at this time, if some ‘influence’ had not arrived from the Billionaire’s camp. Is it right for a very powerful, national agency, effectively decide an election?

Happy Saturday
