Apparently, Mr Farage was supposed to be on telly tonight to be sneered at by Jeremy Paxman, but for unknown reasons he's bottled it.
Hasn't his whole political life been spent pushing for this referendum? You'd think he would at least put the effort in on tonight of all nights.
How can we arrange for people to do chicken noises behind his back, whenever he is out in public, for the rest of his life?
Asking for a friend, obviously. -

I'm watching two things at the moment, both reasonably good, and both cancelled at the end of the first series. It means I can enjoy them without worrying they are going to go a bit meh. I'm looking at you, Peaky Blinders.
Forever, a bit like the American version of Sherlock, but with added immortality.
Almost Human, big budget Scifi, must have been cancelled because it cost so much. -

Carlo Anichini in Piccadilly Arcade. Grooming stuff on the ground floor and a barbers above.
The lady in the downstairs shop is really friendly and they stock Proraso products and lots of different sorts of blades.
Everyone raves about Feather blades, but I can't get on with them. They seem to pull the skin a bit and cause a rash. The brand which suits me best is Astra, which I get from here, but they had Feather last time I was there. -

I honestly don't know whether it was from polling or from personal experience of campaigning, but they were absolutely definite. They said that the Brexit side would force a vote of no confidence in Cameron to try and get Boris in, but that ultimately it might force a general election.
I don't think they are right. The most accurate predictions in the last few election have been the bookies. Ladbrokes have gone from roughly 50/50 a week or so ago to this...

I had to go into work today because of parliament being recalled for tributes to Jo Cox. Spoke to a fairly senior member of the opposition who is part of the Remain campaign, who is convinced they have lost. They recon that Brexit will win, and parliament will be recalled again on Saturday for a vote of no confidence.

Interesting article from yesterday, about how much of the audience at Trump rallies are different to what you'd imagine.

The answer seems to be yes. They don't particularly care what he says, he's just a famous bloke off the telly who isn't a proper politician. -

I went home to Gloucestershire last weekend and everyone I spoke to said they were voting Leave. One of them even said that I was the first Remain person they had ever actually met, as if I was from another planet.
I work in Westminster and this week I have been asking politicians from all sides how they think it is going to go. The official line seems to be that it is too close to call, but the bigwigs of the Remain side are absolutely shitting themselves that they've blown it.
I think anyone who doesn't read the Daily Express is a bit too foreign for some of these people.
If we have a full Brexit Jihad, the population of the UK could get reduced to the membership of just a handful of golf clubs.
