This little cartoon by Garry Larson (Far Side) sums up perfectly for me the situation we find ourselves in with Brexit at the moment. We have the various political constituents in-fighting, falling out and generally bitching about each other, including that populist clown Farage (rejected by the UK electorate 7 times) getting back in on the act. But, no one seems to be focused on the real danger here, i.e. the disastrous economic consequences that a hard-Brexit would entail. An outcome that would be especially relevant to the people in the North, who seem unreasonably keen on shooting themselves in the foot financially as a result of being conned by the likes of smiley-face Farage (who has personally trousered half a million quid as a result of the Brexit campaign) No wonder he's smiling, probably can't believe his luck that he lives in an era with so many gullible people around.
