IT’S now become abundantly clear to most Americans, even those in his Rust Belt strongholds, that the election of Donald Trump plunged the USA into unprecedented chaos.


Closer to home there was another vote earlier in 2016 when a majority opted for Brexit. But just how democratic was it? Did we hear the unvarnished truth from Boris, Farage and Co?


Now in the States there is a concerted effort to oust Trump as the Mueller probe and the American media continue to unravel evidence which could ultimately dethrone the temper tantrum president and his cronies concerning the malign efforts of Russia to spark destabilisation of Western powers.


Here however, with the UK teetering on the brink, our politicians still engage in infantile tribal civil war seemingly blind to the looming catastrophe.

It is rather like watching a re-run of the descent into armed conflict between Charles I and Parliament which tore families apart in exactly the same way that Brexit is today.


There is also a chilling similarity to the way that Europe went to war in 1914, as one theory has it, because once German troops had boarded their trains as part of the mobilisation plan, strict adherence to timetables meant that there could be no turning back.


If I hear one more person utter the fatuous credo that we have had the vote and Brexit is the democratic will of the people, I will eat my flat cap. 


When you are driving if you see a crash about to happen, do you recklessly continue and plough into trouble?

Most sensible people would brake or swerve to dodge a collision.

Can we not slam on the brakes to avoid the Brexit crash?
