//Here is an interesting letter from the current issue of Private Eye:-
‘Sir,
I am a fairly new subscriber to the Eye. Each edition makes me upset and angry. The amount of corruption at both national and local level is appalling. Ignorance really was bliss.
Sheila Kerr-Smith, Worthing’//

She should give it up before it becomes a bad habit.

I didn't do that. I simply asked what the source was. I did that because, quite honestly, I've generally no interest at all in any such figures and I don't go scouring newspapers and magazines for them. So thanks for the info. My Private Eye is overdue (probably because of delays caused by postal strikes) so I'll see it then when it arrives.
It may seem incredible to you but many people - me included - are not interested in the minor inconveniences and possible temporary hits to the economy that Brexit has caused. They were expected and in some respects have been less onerous than were expected. The important thing is that we have left that pernicious organisation.
When the USSR broke up many people living in Soviet states were happy and relieved even if it caused them problems - some far more serious than the trivia some people in the UK are moaning about. I am not saying for one minute that the EU resembles the USSR. I'm simply using the analogy to explain (and hopefully help you understand) my earlier point - that you don't sell your soul for a few pieces of silver. Even when those pieces of silver add up to £80bn (assuming the OBR is correct).
We're out of the EU now and neither of the parties likely to be in government in the foreseeable future has any intention of making rejoining part of their manifesto (not that you should particularly pay any heed to what politicians tell you). It really is quite pointless to keep harping on about it but if you do you will always receive similar responses from me.
