Toynbee on Swinson
I referred in an earlier post to how Brexit has shaken up British politics and produced strange new alliances among former political foes while sundering old friends.
There is another good example in Polly Toynbee's criticism of the "Remain extremism" of Lib/Dem leader Jo Swinson.
It is hardly a surprise that she doesn't agree with Boris Johnson's position but it is interesting that -noting quite correctly that on the issue of Brexit issue the Lib/Dems are not in the centre but at one end of the spectrum - Polly Toynbee describes the stance of the Liberal Democrats as just as much a "startlingly extreme position."
Ms Toynbee criticises the Lib/Dem position on Brexit as
"Revoke now, to hell with the will of the people" and adds that she finds this alarming and that it comes over as a "denial of democracy."
You can read the article in which she makes these points here.
