Order! Order! Pantomime season has arrived.  First the French. Even though the President has totally scrapped the planned fuel tax rise, still the riots continue. Proof positive that once a momentum has started to roll, rationality flies out the window. And the British? Here’s what the Brexiteers have to say: ‘...feels like we no longer own our country;  now just tenants, forced to take into our tiny island way too many unsuitable lodgers. Still reeling from Blair’s earlier policy. Feels like I’m living in a suburb of Bangladesh...’ And from the Remainers: ‘it’s the economy, stupid. Need to be part of the ever-burgeoning federal project of the United States of Europe...don’t care if we’re governed by former enemy Germany. For peace it’s worth it.’ So, what’s gonna happen Tuesday? For the Labour party it’s clear: their vote has nothing to do with Brexit: all to do with forcing out the government and ensuring a General Election. Oh what a circus, oh what a show!
