I WISH I had the magical perceptive brain of Peter Hirst.

Some months ago he was able to tell us that the 17 million who voted to leave misunderstood the question.

Now he is able to tell us without a shadow of a doubt that we pretty much all voted on emotional grounds.

Here’s poor me, I can only say for certain what one person was thinking when voting, that one being me.

I can though make a guess at what Peter is thinking.

I would guess he is thinking he would like to stay in the EU forever.

Failing that he will continue to make irrational arguments in the hope he will convince people that the UK exit from the EU should be delayed as long as possible.

Come on Peter, if the human race had taken as long to make decisions your approach we would all still be living in caves and having committee meetings to assess the risk on what to have for breakfast.
