I'm sitting here in my Vote Remain t-shirt and I'm angry. Yes, sure, I'm angry at how things went down — but that's faded to background noise at the moment, like a headache that won't quite go away. The past is gone. I can't change it and neither can anyone else.
Right now I'm angry about the future. I'm angry about things that haven't happened yet, but look like they will. I'm powerless to DO anything to prevent them. Anything, that is, except try and influence the outcome...
And, oh, I'm going to do that for all I'm worth.
David Cameron has resigned. Good. Good riddance. Don't let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.
But has he called a general election? Nope. No indication that there will be one any earlier than May 2020. And that means we will end up with a prime minister we did not elect.
Sure, you can argue that we elect the party not the person. It's true. But it's not the whole truth. The party leader is the face of the party. An MP is elected by a few thousand people who believe that he/she is well suited to deal with local issues. Party leaders have a very different mandate in addition to that. And the prime minister has the biggest mandate of all.
Two names are being Trumpeted louder than all the rest (if you'll pardon the rather disturbing pun): Boris 'What Happens if I Push This Button' Johnson and Theresa 'Humans Don't Deserve Rights' May.
Let's get one thing clear about Boris Johnson — he doesn't give a crap about the EU. He's not an 'outer'. He's said so repeatedly. In fact, he basically said as much in his first post-Brexit column. He chose to support the Leave campaign because he could. To see if he could actually pull it off… To show David Cameron up...
What will he do as PM? Who the hell knows… Anything he wants. He literally does not give two craps about anything or anyone. Maybe himself, but I'm not even sure about that.
And then there's Theresa May. She's got a bee in her bonnet — a bee named human rights. Ms May does not believe humans should have rights. She wants to read your emails. In fact, she's reading this right now. As I type it. Offline. I caught her going through my rubbish once. In my bathroom. Don't even get me started on what she wants to do to your little old nan!
What will she do as PM? Ban human rights (except her own). Ban privacy (except her own). Ban skilled immigration (bad luck, she's already here). Ban fun. Ban youth. Ban colour.
Seriously... I'm angry. I have every right to be and, what's more, I have every reason to be.
DAVID CAMERON, YOU CONTEMPTUOUS, DISINGENUOUS SHINY-FACED PRICK, CALL A GENERAL ELECTION!
