Dermot seems to be unaware that Exeter voted to remain and its Labour MP, Ben Bradshaw, is a strong opponent of Brexit. He is also not on J Corbyn's Christmas card list.

I have the 'privilege' of bumping into the said MP during his occasional visits to the area. Seems a nice genuine face-to-face type of fellow.

One thing that annoys me just a little on these threads & that revolves around the accuracy of 'spelling'. Misspelling is just being carelessly lazy & a slight on the lovely language. :-S
