THE referendum is now past and the nation has chosen.

I, for one, am proud that our plucky little Bulldog Britain has once again shown to the world we have the courage to go it alone regardless.

Refusing to be crushed by the big money campaign to terrify us into accepting that selling our right to self determination was the only way, we showed them we are made of sterner stuff.

There is an organistion not far away, in Hereford city, which has an appropriate motto for this occasion: “Who Dares Wins.”

Bear in mind our nation has sent those resolute men of the SAS, in the recent past, into countless extreme challenges and they have not slunk away or failed. Why should we?
