Post EU Referendum

I have no idea how that happened. I think it was just a bit of fun that got out of hand, like Boaty McBoatface.
Red Ken, the mad newt handler, actually did do a pretty good job of looking after London after the Thatcher years whatever else you might think of him. I do also quite like Kahn, at least as far as I can tell from all the way over here.
I also loved Ken's opening line from his speech when he became Mayor, the first speech since Thatcher dissolved the GLC and ousted him:
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted 14 years ago..."
You have to admit, that was pretty good

That was cleverly done - I did laugh out loud when he said that

And while we are squaring Eric's circles.... how does he reconcile his previous position that the Commission was part of a capitalist plot by genocidal maniacs to fiscally water board the Greek people to extinction with his current blind faith in them looking after his rights better than the British government - just asking ;-)

Neither do I, and that's why he was asked.
The reasoning behind the question is that I used to be a Tory voter, but the course the party is taking re hard Brexit and its lurch into UKIP territory means I shall no longer vote for the Tory party in its current guise. My red line.
Just curious as to where Red Eric's red line is regards Corbyn and Brexit. Maybe it is as you suggest, that Corbyn's left wing domestic agenda overrides any external Eurosceptic policy even if it dovetails nicely with UKIP's.

I seem to remember that Eric reconciles his positions by imagining that Corbyn isn't really a Hard Brexiteer. A recipe for cognitive dissonance for the poor fella I should think.
I can only see myself voting LibDem for the foreseeable.
Or moving to Scotland.


I would happily and proudly describe Corbyn as old Labour, i.e. a progressive social democrat party. God knows we need one.
