Maybe there'll be a very loud noise sweeping the country soon.
The sound of millions of Brexit voters sucking their teeth and saying 'Oh ****, did I do that ?'.
Well, I live in hopes.

It'll be easier in a few days.
I'm still worrying whether my husband's company pension is at risk. It does focus the mind somewhat.
Also wondering whether to call the builder to cancel the rest of the job he is due to do next month.
Not sure I want to spend money unnecessarily at the moment. The bill for the house painting and materials just done was eye watering enough.

Then a quite hideously revolting BBC radio news bulletin, which went: Gove saying Cameron was a great PM; Peter Bone telling Sturgeon to get back in her box; some pleased voters in Tipton who talked about nothing but immigrants; Hodge savaging Corbyn. Half expected Farage to come on and tell us he'd annexed the national media.

Random word generation from Gill above - he's not got the first idea about Chartism, fundamental causes or grass-rootsNathan Gill, the Ukip leader in Wales, said the setting was significant.
"Chartism was founded in Wales; it was a grassroots organisation. We have a grassroots organisation.
There are people here from all political parties. There’re all kinds of different people. The Chartists knew
what they wanted – the fundamental causes on their charter. We knew what we wanted, we could boil it
down to one thing: we want our country back."
