Last night we had a 7-way TV debate between the leaders of the seven main political parties in the UK. I say leaders, but the leaders of the two biggest parties were too cowardly to turn up. That left Swinocchio, Nicola Sturgeon (Scots Nationalists) and the guy from Plaid Cymru (Welsh Nationalists) to grandstand about how their plans for Brexit i.e. ignore the votes of 17.4 million people, would bring the country together, and how terrible Donald Trump was. Only Nigel Farage was speaking any sense imo, so of course everyone started shouting at him rather than engaging in proper debate. The state of UK politics is just so darn depressing.
Oh well, President Trump visiting the UK this week for the NATO conference, which will keep things interesting at least.
