Op-ed: Having watched the European Union in / out referendum until the wee small hours of Friday morning, around 4.30am in fact, sleep has been brief. But even so posting this report around 8.30am much has changed; UK PM David Cameron has announced he is stepping down and will be gone by October. By the time our coverage of results as they came in ended main TV news sources had declared the LEAVE campaign was the winner. Having taken a chance and called an EU referendum Cameron was a political dead man walking as soon as LEAVE took the lead.

Why till October? Why not now? So he can do more damage to the country and its people. He ruined more than enough. I liked the tears about is own loss besides he gets £450,000 pension. What is he crying for? He did not cry when 2,300 committed suicide or died of starvation, Nor about 40,000 people died of cold because they could not heat their homes because of his friends increased energy tariffs by 10 pc every winter in the last few years. The impact of £12billion Welfare cut has still to come. Nor did help the steel workers, staff at BHS and other chain stores which wobble and head for the same. Nor about their lost pensions funds which were the peoples' money. He kept none of his promises he made. He is the worst PM and should go now.

People appear unsatisfied with political elites. The EU will now be in danger as well as people get tired of being ruled by unelected technocrats. I am surprised Greece did not leave long ago. Unfortunately, there is a lot of right-wing baggage tagging along with the Brexit votes.
