You must decide for yourself which of the two types you admire.
Not worthy of a new thread I see...ah well, I tried.
But I do consider that his letter deserves more attention... it's here in full, worth a read...
I've never really taken the man seriously before.
Yes I've admired his eloquent ability to use the English language to insult oppostion rather well -
"puffed up pompous popinjay" comes immediately to mind!
But I've just taken the time to read his letter of resignation in full, it doesn't take more than a couple of minutes, and I must say I'm quite impressed.
"Brexit should be about opportunity and hope. It should be a chance to do things differently, to be more nimble and dynamic, and to maximise the particular advantages of the UK as an open, outward-looking global economy.
That dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt."
I think we're in for Interesting Times!
