@ProfBrianCox I think we're heading towards a totalitarianism of ignorance. In the western world we've achieved nationalism, vilifying free press, degrading personal freedom in the name of national security, and now anti-intellectualism.

"How will the Tories survive this?" Easy - they'll hold and lose a general election, then point to Labour and blame them for the mess the nation is in. Labour should force a follow-on, and make the Tories bat through the shit-show they've created.
