The Treaty Principles Bill gets debated this week, and then off it goes to the committee that will hear a lot of fear mongering and whinging about how it is the end of the world. After that it will come back to Parliament, a vote will be had, it won't get the numbers, and it will be dead. This is unusual as Governments normally put bills in they know they are going to pass. Here is why it ties into Trump's victory last week: Trump won because he is the repository for grievance. If you don’t like the

We are not unique, but we are most definitely different from the way we were. Once again we are into exam season, and once again we have the flurry of stories of questions that can't be answered, the tears that flow, and the end of the world that is ensuing.
