The Two Tests


By a quirk of fate our two countries have separate sense tests this year.Yesterday the UK failed its test.

In November the US has its test: let us hope that it does better than us and that Trump does not triumph.

My first vote was in the General Election of 1979. I voted Labour, Thatcher won and the rest is a sad history.

Rowan's first vote was in the Referendum yesterday. We all chose Remain, and the rest is likely to be a sad story too.

Finding a comfort-crumb is not easy, but at least we live in York, one of the very few places nationally to vote to remain by a majority of over 15%. If ever there was scant consolation that is it.
