Maze...

I heard one of the ‘Leave’ campaigners on the radio this morning. He talked about the “sunlit uplands” of economic prosperity, once we’ve left the EU… and he mentioned the “plague of dragons” that awaited the nation if we stayed in. I presume this was some sort of misbegotten joke, but who knows any more? The level of debate is depressingly low. I saw a cartoon this morning (in another context), which showed a blindfolded man being led into a maze. This is how I feel when I hear politicians - and others - broadcast their scare stories... about staying or leaving. Too much propaganda, too few facts…
