Following Mr Wiggin's exposition last week I would like to point out that the pound is in free fall (down 1.4 % against the US $, as of writing) shares are falling, our country's government is behaving like a third rate South American "banana republic" and Britain is fast becoming an international laughing stock.

Could it be any worse under Jeremy Corbyn .... clearly you and your fellow mutinous rebels think not!!!!

The philosopher Plato, wrote a critique, in 380 BC, of the democratic system. In it he thought of the state as being analogous to a ship.

You and your fellow rebels are enacting Plato's very criticisms of the democratically controlled "Ship of State". It is eerily prescient of today's chaos. Hence, our sovereign Parliament is looking increasingly like a "Ship of Fools" consisting of an assembly of self-opinionated, partly informed, "lower deck lawyers".

Either be a conservative and support the one person who has all the facts at her fingertips and is in a position of authority to balance and counter balance the fractious demands of the Demos or leave and join Mr Farage's new group.
