Those EU referendums

I am glad to see that Daily Express continues to make noise. Good for them, hopefully the misanthropic, pessimist old-schoolers will get off their fat arses and realise that all is not lost; we can beat the EU but it will require everyone's help. I have started to hand out leaflets in my patch of London, they will probably do sod all but if I can convince just one person who hitherto thought that the EU was a force for good, then that will have made it all worth it.

The broadsheets might scoff at their petty attempts to bring about change, but then I ask what the flying fuck are you doing about it besides from whining that the EU, doing this and that? Do something about it instead. It may well be that our means are fairly limited and our possibilities restricted when it comes to applying pressure on our government. But is this a reason to do nothing? Despair is not an answer. Neither is resignation. Resignation only leads to indifference, which is not merely a sin but a punishment.

Never a truer word was written.
