Taking a leaf from Trumps list of how journalists should behave, Tory MP Andrea Leadsom says broadcasters need to "more patriotic" when it comes to reporting on Brexit.

Well here's my thoughts on that: No thanks, I want to hear about how it actually really is, not some twist version that keeps telling me how great Great Britain is.

"One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxiety. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken."

Exactly. I don't want jingoistic guff, I want the facts. I may not like those facts, like I didn't like the referendum result, but I still want those facts.

I was pro-Brexit for socialist reasons (the reasons Benn and traditionally Corbyn as well as most of the left-wing parties I don't despise, and many of the Northern working class were pro-Brexit) but I despise a lot of Brexiteers with their nonsense; namely their xenophobia, racism, nationalism and just wanting to annoy the UK's closest neighbours.
The worst being UKIP (who really wanted us to remain so they could maintain their anti-EU charade rather than just being openly racist) and Boris Johnson with all his lies and buffoonery.

I'm sick to death of Brexit; I really hope they'd get it over with but they all have to score points against each other.

GRRRRR!!!
