"Does anyone else find this, addressed to me from Jim, as hilariously ironic [or ironically hilarious] as I do?"
Hilarious but unanswerable apparently Mike as these things usually are.
"As usual, the gr8 democrats, the Shaws & Carrolls et al, are demonstrating their enormous ❤❤❤ for democracy"
You mean as opposed to those who regard the domain of the better off, the priveleged and those of the right colour and religious persuasion - no question of that.
This campaign was based on hatred an Xenophobia - the economic effects were apparent within hours of the result being announced.

"Yes, God is indeed good."
I do wish that these Christians extended their 'Christianity' as far as the consequences that this "good" result will most certainly have on human beings in trouble, particularly the refugees fleeing from poverty in countries that the wealthy west has helped to create by its constant search for chap goods and fuel.
Or the asylum seekers that will be returned to war zones in wars wars we have helped to create by our actions and inaction.
This whole campaign has been an indication that the world is swinging sharply to the extreme right - as if some of us didn't know it already.
Jo Cox was preparing a report on right wing extremism in Britain at the time of her death - following her murder, the right-wing websites were buzzing with praise for her "heroic" murderer.
The right-wing inhumanity has shown itself in some of the arguments here - some I would expect, others I find disappointing being from people who I would have thought, should know better considering their undoubted knowledge of the effects of right wing extremism on humanity.
Happy to put up with your jibes Mike, knowing your soft spot for the nearest thing Britain ever had for a Fascist prime minister.
