I think there are 2 ways to look at this. First, some people will 'Obey" MMY and leave England. Perhaps they think he knows something cosmic that they don't know - like an upcoming terrorist attack, or plague that will hit England. These people are adults and make their choices and probably feel good about themselves. Or, second, MMY is not going to go out quietly. He is going out with a bang, with crazy pronouncements, with outrageous requests for money, unyeilding expectations for obedience, disparaging comments about this loyal followers for all these years, condemnations of governments, outrageous stuff. Is he senile, enlightened, or both? The irrationality kind of makes it easy to to stay disengaged from it all, doesn't it. I just feel neutral amazement rather than the anger and disappointment I used to feel. I say again - we are in the midst of the makings of a movie.
