Other than Farage what other leavers have jumped ship - as I am unaware of who you mean?

Personally I don't agree that the Greece issue is irrelevant. It may not have been directly related to your points but was relevant to the general discussion as it pointed out the hypocrisy of the EU.

Most of the leadership of the Brexit ship have abandoned the issue now that their chance at Downing Street has come and gone. They didn't have a plan for Brexit despite pushing for it endlessly and as soon as it was time for them to step up they passed the buck for damage limitation purposes.

The EU is not perfect (never said it was) but comparisons like that only serve a purpose if they change the facts of the discussion and Greece doesn't do that which is why I don't see it as something worth discussing as it takes the focus off of why we were discussing Human Rights in the first place rather than enhancing the discussion as a whole.
