I have invested the best part of my adult political life in helping to try to build up this movement and I am far from perfect but I do think I am able, through the media, to deliver a good, simple, understandable message.
I do think that the banking system is now in the most perilous state we've seen in over 70 years.
And what is the reaction of the British politcal class? Well the Lib Dems, still think that the Euro is a success! I don't quiet think where Cleggy gets this from, I don't know. Prehaps he is cosidering an alternative career, as a stand up comedian, once he's out of politics.
I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.
I know there's an online petition to have another referendum [like Brexit] but I think honestly I think if people want to go for it a little further down the line it would be a hiding for nothing.

This job is an unpaid job. It costs a fortune to do. You are on call seven days a week and all you get is aggravation,
This is a one-sided debate, with no opposition voice allowed. It's an absolute.
Right now the Constitution is mere paper, with no bearing upon the British people, although they might find it good for doorstops, good for real fires and good for fish and chips.
