One suspects UK commentators all drink from the same poisoned well as Farage&Co... their grip on reality, and their concept of possibility is terrifyingly narrow. I have a grant application in to run a Thrutopian Convergence with the aim of shifting their boundaries, but it might not work...

To be fair, he was in the thick of it and I am sure he was making this point throughout. He will be Canadian PM because he has such experience and wisdom.

Carney was clearly Remain. And still had the grace to try and clear up the actual shite spread right across the British economy afterwards. It was a result we had a backbone in the BoE at the time.

They danced with the devil for easy money. Populism is the lazy journalistic approach these days and they needed to keep paying the mortgage, towing the line then, today and tomorrow suits. Too much pride, can't possibly be accountable for the fall!
