I've told you why, Nigel. Do listen.

"If Jeremy Corbyn Leads the next UK government This country is well and truly *ucked. So is the rest of the 'Free world'."

Now this bears closer examination. Many would say that the country couldn't be more "well and truly fucked" (I assume that's the word you intended) than it is now and which it has been since the pigshead-screwing public school clown Cameron took power (with the help of a bunch of opportunist losers, aka LibDems), followed by the most disastrous prime minister of all time bar none, who is "in power" (a term used advisedly, especially in view of the coming week) with the help of a bunch of sectarian thugs, aka the DUP. Of course, that's a matter of opinion innit. But it's mine. As for the free world, whoever that is, the UK leaving the EU is a major threat to what's left of democracy on this planet. We have China, Putin, a cluster of regimes in the Middle East, including Israel, who wouldn't know what democracy was if it reared up and bit them on their hubris-laden bollocks. And now we have Trump, who has just about done away with democracy in his own country and who threatens it in his allies. Not to speak of the ascendancy of the far right in Brazil and elsewhere, including in some countries uncomfortably close to home. The EU is the last bastion of democracy among major blocs on this planet, and our leaving is a dire threat to its existence. You would like to lead the world blindfolded into planet-wide despotism. Still, you'll be dead and the generations behind us will have to endure the pain, so why should you bother, Stanron?
