They came bearing messages of love, tolerance, inclusiveness and mutual respect - ah, the idealism of youth...
Apparently, the lovely, idealistic young people marching through London tonight were alternating chants of "No more hate!" with "Fuck you, Boris!" Yes, all of us old, scared, white, racist bastards have a lot to learn from them about the dangers of giving way to blind rage, mindless bigotry and truly monumental stupidity. Humbled - that's how they make me feel. Of course, if more of them could have been bothered to vote, it might all have been so different. As one of the Tweeters put it: "I guess Brexit proves old, racist folks always get what they want. Old people vote." Yeah, we're sneaky that way!
