Usual and totally predictable clichéd rant there Stu

In what way have "Old white people have brought us Brexit and Trump"

As for your contention that "In the UK we are entering a new era of isolationism and sucking up to the wilful idiocy of Trump and the GOP", that is patently wrong in as much as anyone who has anything to do with the Leave campaign and the government since the EU Referendum has stated that the aim post departure from the EU will see the UK looking to engage with the rest of the world as we did prior to our joining the EU - that does not sound like an isolationist policy to me.

Here in the UK our young people cannot afford homes - Mortgage rates have never ever been lower than they are today. There has never ever been better deals on offer to first time buyers.

Tell me Stu what parts of our health service are being, or have been, flogged off?

In what way has our government backed the sheer stupidity of Trump?

What progressive policies of Europe have we eschewed?

The British Isles were as much part of Europe prior to 1973 as they will be post Brexit.

By the way what is wrong with "old white expats coming back to use the NHS when they feel like it" - They after all paid into it all their working lives and they are fully entitled to make use of their NHS - Unlike the mass of medical tourists, who have never contributed a penny towards it, that fly into the UK to get free treatment then blithely fly out again.

Good God I hope that you are not putting forward Corbyn & Co as being "anyone with an ounce of intellect or of a progressive bent"!!! What on earth is progressive of returning to the 1970s?

Funny contradiction that appears not to have registered with this intellectual giant Stu.

Corbyn says that he will keep and accept free movement of labour as part of a post-Brexit agreement with the EU. In the same breath he says that he will prevent foreign contract labour working in the UK - Care to tell us how that works? If he accepts free movement he cannot block anything.

Another one is that Corbyn says that he will immediately, unilaterally guarantee the right of residence to all EU nationals currently living and working in the UK. OK then Stu what is his bargaining tool to win equivalent rights for Britons working and living in the EU?

In any election Stu, "self-interest" has always played a major role, this time round will be no exception.
