Where the Naughty Giant leads, others follow. They were talking about this very same thing on Radio 2 Breakfast this morning. The consensus was that FK is right - it is derivative from the Greek's "Grexit" fiasco earlier

I was reading that Gina Millar has started a crowd funding site for donations to support costs against a "hard Brexit"

And there was she saying she just supported democracy. Hope if there's a Tory landslide she'll accept that is a democratic vote of confidence in the way TM is handling things.

Of course if there's a Jezzer landslide I may be emigrating to Belgium myself.
