@soncharm @PorphyConob yeah, a lot of assumptions buried in that argument. But the Express has particular targets to blame for everything -
@anomalyuk@soncharm Well, I can't blame them for that. -
@PorphyConob
@soncharm Bear in mind there's a referendum on leaving the EU brewing. That's the context for all this.
