Martine. Yes it was the Who: Won't get fooled again. Not all on the new elite are models of probity, and not all are that liberal. It's dangerous to generalise, after all most of us probably have our own or family and friends' interests for taking a particular stance. For example, I know a couple of people quitting the UK for the EU, and at least one couple who feel it's no longer feasible to split their time between the UK and France. Interestingly, while we're on the subject of bands, Attila the Stockbroker was highlighting the problems bands would have with potential tax and other customs issues in the event of no deal Brexit: this wouldn't affect bands like the Who, with lawyers and managers to deal with these issues, but small working bands trying to play gigs around Europe. I think the new elite, whether it be Geldoff, Izzard and Sugar, who have worked their way up to their current positions by giving some of the people what they want are probably still more in touch with their roots than those who inherited their wealth and position. This was an interesting reminder going around today:https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/a-reminder-of-all-the-brexiteers-who-appeared-in-the-paradise-papers-as-eu-tax-avoidance-legislation-looms/03/09/
