It's insane for the UK to leave the EU - I'm frightened by any leader wanting to do it now. Yes, it's insane. And any attempt to ignore last week's vote takes this country down the road to Dictatorship. I was born and raised and I have lived sixty years with certain values and I would be a traitor ...

There's no point 'rethinking' the outcome of the Referendum. I said last week that we were staring at Civil War, and if the country now tries to go against the vote, that's what it will get. And it won't be Parliamentary. It's too late, though. Cameron's already failed to act. We voted to leave the...

Boris Johnson - no rush to the negotiating table, everyone knows just how much these froggies, dagos and huns need us, we can dictate terms.
