Interesting how many reports are hailing the Boris victory as "A kick against the establishment". For years we used to tell ourselves that we were fighting "the establishment" when we talked politics. I've understood events far more since realising that "the establishment" has fallen out with itself big time. In the red (the colour doesn't matter) you have the globalists - the Blairs, Clintons, the EU Commission, Macron, Merkel, the Guardian, George Soros, the Democratic Party, CNN etc and in the blue corner those in favour of national governments - Putin, Farage, Murdoch, Trump, Fox News, the Daily Mail, Le Pen, Boris, the late Tony Benn. Those who think there is something left wing about the EU are equally mistaken as those who think Trump and Boris are not part of the establishment.
