Oh, don't you worry, Nigel. I don't do belief. Belief is confined to your side. You believe that we have no control and need to take it back (though we have enthusiastically espoused 97% of all European laws and, indeed, have played a major part in drawing them up). You believe that immigration is out of control, even though the very sniff of brexit has caused EU immigration to plummet and that non-EU immigration is greater, eminently controllable but has not been controlled. You believe that we can go back to our post-empire sick man of Europe days and force the rest of the planet, you know, China, India, the US, to come crawling to our doors to make fabulous trade deals (you seem to have forgotten how long such things take, and you also seem to have forgotten that we don't make stuff any more, thanks to Maggie, that we can sell). You believe that the EU will come grovelling to us to sell us their goods and that we can somehow hold them to ransom by threatening to buy yankee GM shit and chlorine chickens. Like people of faith, Nigel, your head is in the clouds. Gritty reality has evaded you. And one more thing. You don't really understand how our adversarial realpolitik parliamentary system works, do you? Have you actually paid attention to all those Labour and Tory MPs who have said out loud that they voted for the referendum/article 50 against their consciences? All those who have lamented that, in spite of their instincts, are in hock to their leave-constituents? You are the ultimate Tory denial merchant, Nigel, you know that brexit is a bloody rotten idea but, in line with your fellow-travellers, you hold to your brave-facism. I'll give you a few months. Even you will have to come round sooner rather than later. Use your brain, Nigel.
