Ett sanningens ord från Pankaj Mishra i NYT.

Också värd att läsa är The G:s ekonomiredaktör Larry Elliott idag, han är en Leaver som nästan alltid har intressanta synvinklar:

Much more likely is that the pressure for change [in the EU] will dissipate and the real grievances of those who voted for Brexit will be quietly forgotten. The softer the Brexit, the more convinced the EU will be that it has been doing the right thing all along. Britain will not go up in flames, but there will still be consequences. Leave voters will feel they have been victims of an establishment stitch-up. The anger will not go away and will eventually resurface.

The risk is that the losers will be the biggest supporters of the EU – the liberal left. And the biggest winners will be the extreme right.

Meanwhile, the shit show rumbles on, à la Marina Hyde…

+ Avd. “Ducka, grabbar…”: Army reserves on stand-by from 10 February 2019 in case of no-deal. Länk.

+ Brexit i en ny dimension. Det var just nån som blev intervjuad och talade om behovet av att “break the dreadlock”… Jag menar. Jah, Ras Ta Farai…! Nog för att det verkar ganska stenat ibland. Men ändå.
