I keep reading (most recently that fucking hypocritical arse Dacre's front page in the Mail) that the 52% result is an undeniable, irreproachable, huge mandate from the people.
Never mind that it represents only about a third of the populace, but I seem to remember that during the Scottish IndyRef when Yes looked like it might win by a couple of percentage points Cameron came out and said that any result less than 60% would not be legitimate and that anyway, the referendum was not legally binding.
Why the fuck are we now in a situation where not just matters pertaining to the EU, but UK's entire foreign policy, trade and economy has been delegated to a collection of talentless has-beens that May's scraped off the toilet floor of political ignominy, reanimated and let loose on Westminster far beyond any kind of mandate, in spite of the huge lies told in the referendum by Leave, and against her own party's fucking election promise to remain in the single market?
Anyone would think that what's good for the goose isn't necessarily good for the gander and there's a massive constitutional heist in progress?
