Only another three months to go...!

"Queen backs brexit" screamed The Sun's front page on Wednesday last.  Really?  If you delve further into the paper and the story, you find that The Sun is relying on an account of a meeting (maybe a dinner) that is supposed to have taken place nearly five years ago at which the Queen was present, as was, among others, Nick Clegg who was then Deputy Prime Minister.  If the account is true, the Queen is reported as saying that in her opinion Europe was "going in the wrong direction"  Not quite the same thing is it? - not even close. Both sides in the referendum debate seem to be getting sillier - and nastier - and maybe more desperate? Just take it all with a pinch of salt, is my advice.
