Resignations have really pissed me off today; Chris Evans has resigned from Top Gear, which I think is a real shame.
And Nigel Farage has resigned as the leader of UKIP - which is good in a way (because he’s divisive) but very bad in another because it means that the git now takes absolutely no responsibility for getting us out of the shit that he was a key figure in getting us into. What a loser!
From a Brexit perspective, Boris Johnson and Farage are both now in the political wilderness and I really don’t think that these leading “leave” campaigners should be allowed to walk away that easily. They should be responsible and held accountable for making good their Brexit promises – or they should be publically shamed for being charlatans (which is what I think they are).
I have found myself feeling more and more aggrieved that the “Leave” campaign was successful and I think that if the British public was asked if they now thought Brexit was such a good idea, there might well be a significant change of heart.
Can anyone be happy that the Conservative and Labour parties are in disarray, fighting amongst themselves rather than each other and that there is no effective leadership of the country at a point in time when we need it the most? I heard Tony Blair (or is that Bliar?) interviewed over the weekend and, though it pains me to admit it, I thought he made more sense than Johnson and Farage have since the referendum.
On the subject of interviews, I listened to Heseltine shaming Johnson and he was eloquent, certain and brilliant. He wanted Cameron to stay in charge and, though is surprises the heck out of me, I am in complete agreement.
And staying brings me back to Top Gear. Chris Evans deserved a much better break than he was given. I was a Top Gear fan for the entire Clarkson era but I have found the new series just as much fun with Evans/Le Blanc and the rest of the presenting team. It pains me that Evans feels he has to walk.

Being rather frank, Clarkson shit on his own doorstep and deserved the axe for being a liability. That wasn’t Evans’ fault. He was brave enough to pick up the chalice following the departure of JC – poisoned though the liquid in it was.
I thought that what Evans achieved was good; I particularly liked the way that he broadened the presenting team to be more ethnically representative, to include a woman and crikey, even a Yank.
How can six episodes be enough for him to prove his worth?
My appeal to Evans and the BBC is change your minds - don’t give up yet. Otherwise Top Gear faces a future that is potentially as mediocre as that (potentially) facing the UK.
