@MadArticDriver He'd had enough of it all , folks suspicious of his reasons but he clearly was never going to be an mp as tried seven times . Establishment would never allow any one in parliament who is calling them out as he successfully did with EU. Brexit for them should ' Never ' of happened and Cameron rues the day he gave us a voice . Its pure stupidity too do so , why would you give a voice too any one who wants to destroy you ? Now we can see democracy is either ' Dying or Dead ' in Britain and many other so called democracies , partly revenge on us over EU as well. Folks are scared too look into the darkness for fear of seeing the truth , majority of Britain now has Zero Backbone / Spineless . Pathetic .
