Pretty much everything sofarsideways says, we're just holding them up to the standard they themselves have said we should hold them to! I too am vexed. The remain campaign was based on fact and the consequences of leaving were laid out, but you're never going to win against outright lies of promising the moon on a stick. Yes, many poorer areas of the UK had been fucked over as a result of tory austerity, including Wales, but we got by far the biggest share of EU funding... anyway, this is just relitigating something that is in the past and we can't go back. It is the sheer apathy of someone who considers himself such a political animal that really sticks in the craw... bad james! A coal in the stocking for you.

Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
