As Theresa May is making this snap election all about Brexit I found it rather amazing when, today on Andrew Marr's show, two staunch remain campaigners gave one wonderful reason, without realising it, why voting to leave the EU was the best thing Britain ever did.
Rachel Johnson, sister of Boris Johnson, and Owen Jones both agreed on one thing.
The EU doesn't care what people, us voters, want, all they care about is what's good for their pockets.
They both pointed out that last year, when the far left party Syriza in Greece were voted in, the EU didn't care, and when Syriza gave the Greek people a referendum to vote no to harsher austerity measures, the EU carried on regardless of the people's will.
To mean this just strengthens the reasons why 17 million voted to leave the uncaring, undemocratic European Union.
So I thank both remain voters, Rachel and Owen, for giving a bloody good reason why it is best that the British voted to leave, you, for me, have done a better job than any Brexiteer has ever done!

More, more, more!
Jeremy Corbyn, the man who wants more!
He wants to borrow £500 million, in which he'll build a million news homes (despite the social housing waiting list being 5 million long), "secure our NHS and social care", as well as better funding for the arts.
He also wants to raise corporation tax, and the minimum wage.
Small businesses, like the one I work for, will crumble, as they'll be the ones who'll be expected to foot the £500 million bill, as well as pay more corp tax, and wages.
Jeremy's way of helping? Ensuring there is no such thing as a late payer.
What Jeremy fails to realise is, being paid on time won't help foot the bill of their beloved borrowing, nor will it help to make sure there's enough money in the bank to pay their employees wages, as they'll have to put aside for their every growing corp tax bill.
This means small businesses will have to raise their prices as their wage bill, corp tax and a hefty bill will have to be factored into their yearly forecasts.
When prices rise, this means people will look for the cheapest option, namely large corporations, who won't have to worry as much as small businesses, as their profits are already within the millions, if not billions.
Therefore small businesses will end up bust anyway.
Then again, we shouldn't be surprised at Corbyn's hated for the entrepreneur, the idea that someone wants to be in charge of their own destiny and not have to rely on the state must make his socialist skin crawl!

Opposition? What Opposition
What the hell is going on in the Labour Party?
Firstly Jeremy Corbyn doesn't seem to have realised he is now responsible for the second most major political party in the UK, he is no longer a back bench rebel that nobody pays attention to.
His politics politics are now main stream, his decisions are now accountable, and he now has an actual possibly chance of becoming Britain's next Prime Minister (although if the polls are anything to go by he hasn't a hope in hell).
If he can't handle the heat as opposition leader, and he doesn't enjoy his leadership being questioned, how does he think he'd ever cope as Prime Minister?
This isn't Labour's only problem, they've let Ken "Hitler supported Zionism" Livingstone off the hook, and suspended him for a year... woop de do.
Jewish Labour MP Ruth Smeeth isn't happy, and I don't blame her. Firstly Labour DOES have an anti-Semitism problem. During Shami Chakrabarti's Press statement of her "inquiry" into the issue, was less than smooth.
Ruth Smeeth received anti-Semitic bullying during the press statement, and the Labour leader sat by as the Ruth walked out of the room noticeably upset, according to sources she was even crying.
Corbyn, who was at the press statement, sat back and did nothing. The bully was even overheard on camera talking to Corbyn, as they left, saying that he had "outed Smeeth for talking to the Torygraph", again Corbyn had no reaction, other than to smile.
Labour need a new leader, and they need one bad. Jeremy and co seem hell bent on making sure the country is denied having someone holding the government to account, and this is also bad for Tories, not only Labour.
Jeremy may have principles, he may be a nice bloke, but we must all agree that he a shite leader, and that is not good for Britain.

Ed Miliband
Ed Miliband has almost become a bit of a fallen hero for Labour supporters.
No, not amongst Corbynista's, but for the so called "moderates", it's like they've almost forgotten just how pathetic he was.
So let's start by reminding ourselves just how and why he was unelected.
1. Ironically the EU referendum. Miliband did not want to give the people a choice, or a say in their own future.
2. Energy Freezing, only for the prices to fall soon after this policy was announced
3. Giving 2p to homeless woman he walked past.
4. When asked in an interview if he knew the average amount one family spends on food per week "£70-£80 a week." Oh dear....
5. Not knowing who rather important people within the Labour party were "You do know who Jim Grant is?"
EM "Well you'll enlightenment me I am sure."
Int "Swindon Labour leader."
6. How many inquiries did he want again? Independent, public, judge led.
7. Forgetting his speech at the Labour Party conference, all because he wanted to show off that he could walk and talk at the same time.......
I think seven is enough to embarrass someone, I Just wanted a gentle reminder that, yes now he is in control of his own Twitter account he is a lot wittier, however he was still a disaster.
Although, he isn't a patch on Jeremy Corbyn who is a delight to watch! Sadly though, political satire comedians all around the country are being done out of a job!
