Holding my breath

Being on the wrong side of the Atlantic, I am powerless to influence proceedings. I'm just imagining the reaction of Her Majesty's loyal subjects if the people lose tonight. One thing is for damn sure - such petty, authoritarian lickspittles will not be magnanimous in victory.

The wonderful Ryan Gage plays a character named Alfred Lickspittle in those movies.

Edited to add: Oh, and I do consider myself fortunate to live in a country where single payer "came to pass" three years after the end of World War 2.
