When times are good, the social contract makes for an attractive proposition: the citizen accepts the surrender of certain freedoms to the state in exchange for protection, maintenance of the social order, and representation come election time.
It's hard to disagree with any of this. It's galling when stanch EU federalists say Brexit hasn't worked when it's been carried out with all the enthusiasm of wet dog poo picked up by a leaf. It's very hard right now with people voting for Sadiq Khan. The only reassurance is that he is not my mayor and that if you vote for a snake you deserve to be bitten.
Frank you have hit the nail on it's head again.I have always said that we need the return of a very successful Guy Fawkes blow all the bastards to hell including the most useless piece of crap the lords.
