When did the highest ambition of the political right become to piss off other people?
Ha! Yup, this seems to be important to a lot of people now.
Maybe it’s a byproduct. We’re in an age where attention is currency (and any gobshite can broadcast their silly opinions for attention). Metropolitan cycling types included of course :)

I know several good, intelligent people who voted leave. Their grounds for doing so were reasonable and largely optimistic about what the UK would be. I thought, and still think, that they're wrong (mainly because I think Brexit is primarily a Thatcherite, deregulation stalking-horse), but I can see where they're coming from.
...and then you encounter people like Craig and you can't help but feel that, whatever decent reasons were behind some leave votes, the whole campaign has been largely carried by a bunch of whining, petulant, morons whose highest ambition is to get one over on their perceived enemies in their own country.
