The only thing they agreed on was this was a sort of "peasants revolt" at globalization akin to the draw shared among Trump and Bernie supporters here. I don't know if that's overstating it or not because I'm not up to date on the political environment in the UK. But if that's truly what it was, then this could be the first shot across the bow of the Free-Trade Globalization junket. Could Trump's election be the next?

Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
