I wonder when the penny will drop.   Nobody – least of all me – thought the bunch of xenophobes and nut-cases who voted for Brexit were bright, but are they really so dim?

Do they realise that by turning on the money tap Rishi Sunak, the Sooty (as in Sooty and Sweep) of British politics,  is damning the years of austerity as entirely unnecessary?

Do they realise that by starving the NHS of funds voters lives have been placed in jeopardy?

Do they realise that in sucking up to countries ruled by “strongmen” and tyrants, the Flatulent Leader and his crew of yes-men demean us in the eyes of the world?

Do they realise that the lack of an articulated and disseminated plan for dealing with coronavirus has wasted time, money and lives?
