I don't claim to know what the best answer is for the European Union nor for Great Britain. I was in favour of "Grexit" because I thought the Euro had failed the European periphery, and that Greece was being abused by the European Central Bank. "Brexit" is very different, but when I first heard it proposed, I sort of liked the idea of the EU losing ground, and maybe I still do. The truth is, when it comes to what I actually care more about—the knock-on effect of this vote on countries still attached to Europe and the Euro—I don't know what the effect will be, and so I don't know what to tell you.

But the main visible advocates of the "Leave" faction are sufficiently unpleasant to make me want not to support them. Nigel Farage remains a stupid toad. Gove has a strangely worrying smile on his face; what does he think he's pulling over?

And Boris Johnson says he'll apologise on telly if Brexit precipitates a recession. Well, that will accomplish just about nothing!

Put some skin in the game, Boris! Promise you'll give up something that costs you! Maybe you should pledge that if Brexit causes Britain serious economic or political problems in the first five years, you will donate your entire fortune to a preserve for moose and squirrel!
