Today the UK started its divorce process from the European Union – the lunatics led by David Davis sailed into Brussels with a leaky boat. It is barely two weeks since Theresa's cynical attempt to grab a substantial majority by holding a quite unnecessary election failed spectacularly. May has been humiliated as much by the unbeliveably dreadful
Not only, following the election, does David Davis and the UK Government have no mandate for any kind of Brexit but Davis appears to be incapable of negotiating his way out of a paper bag even with the benefit of SatNav.
May and her Government appear not or are deliberately ignoring that the popular mood in the UK looks to be moving away from Brexit as the economic and other disadvantages become increasingly apparent.
Both the French and Germany Governments have offered us a way out with the option for us to change our minds. I fear, however, for the moment our politicians – both Conservative and Labour – are too stupid and blinkered to grasp this gift horse with both hands. Jeremy Corbyn's – 'Brexit for the many' is as stupid as May's 'Brexit means Brexit'.
Hopefully in the time that remains between now and March 2019 when the divorce is due to be finalised, politicians will wake up and realise that the electorate is likely to severely punish fools and liars who set out to make them poorer long term.
There is still time to own up and admit Brexit is a terrible idea and instead decide to stay within a thriving EU.
The latest mantra is that "80% of Brits (who voted) voted for Brexit-advocating parties at the election".
ReplyDeleteWe all knew it was much more complicated than that! What we do know is that May FAILED to get the mandate she sought to do Brexit the way the Tory Brexiteers were steering towards.
The chickens of Brexit are most definitely coming home to roost and we've hardly even begun the process...
