  1. New play?

    Well,there's: 'Le Philosophe Imaginaire' & 'Les Professeurs Ridicules,' or 'Le Clown Malgré Lui'.

    I think both Grayling & John Simpson are classic examples of the dangers of living in a liberal/left Guardian/BBC bubble where one's views are never challenged & there is simply no need to justify one's views.

  2. I've spotted a connection between three of the more "deranged" Remainiacs. Matthew Parris, AC Grayling and Lord Adonis all have strong colonial connections (Kenya, Rhodesia and Cyprus). Maybe the death of Empire created a kind of identity crisis that led them to become overattached to the EU?
