Re: Good grief.

"Who'd have believed being a dyed in the wool hard left marxist was a pre-requisite for being in the IT sector."

So, you associate a vote for Remain with being on the hard left? Odd then that the Beast of Bolsover (for non-UK readers: Dennis Skinner, Labour MP for Bolsover, extremely left-wing) backed Brexit with the following argument:

"My opposition from the very beginning has been on the lines that fighting capitalism state-by-state is hard enough. It’s even harder when you’re fighting it on the basis of eight states, 10 states and now 28."

(Not my favourite newspaper :)

So, Skinner sees Brexit as an opportunity to bring about the end of capitalism in the UK. Well William 3, you do have an interesting bed-fellow there. Wish I could be party to your pillow talk.

(I'm a Remainer and in favour of capitalism, albeit with some of the hard edges taken off.)
