Applause. It's always struck me as odd that pro-Leave people cite "austerity" as an EU creation. Whatever the situation in Greece was and is, austerity in this country is an ideologically driven Tory creation, building on firmly Thatcher's "no such thing as society".

Leaving the EU (and with it the European Convention on Human Rights, which I don't recall being mentioned on the ballot paper) pushes us all further into the clutches of a Tory government with no handbrakes on. Not to mention the looming likelihood of US "investment" into the NHS, etc. Taking back control, eh?
