So, less than 24 hours after the Government supposedly signing off Theresa May’s 500 page draft Brexit deal, the Brexit rats start deserting the sinking ship, first to go: Raab C Brexit, the Brexit Secretary and man who never realised the significance of the port of Dover as a trade route! He was quickly followed by a minor minister responsible for Northern Ireland whom most had never even heard of, Shailesh Vara. An hour later, Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey followed.
All of them complained that the deal was a bad deal. No f*****ng shit, Sherlock! There never was going to be a better deal than the one we had and to see them now complaining that (in actual fact) Brexit leaves us with less sovereignty than we had makes my blood boil!
The sight of the Brexit fundamentalists having to admit that the whole shabby process they pushed for will not end up with the sunny uplands they promised would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. The damage these people have done to the country due to their ignorance and obstinacy in refusing to deal with reality is only just starting to become plain. Let’s just remind ourselves of some of the false claims they made.
No ‘downside’ eh? A ‘better deal’ eh? We ‘hold all the cards’? Pfft!
Can you imagine what our European neighbours are thinking of us as they watch this shit-shower unfold? Britain has been brought low by the ignorance and dogmatism of its politicians, the manipulations of media moguls, billionaires, and spivs carrying Belizean diplomatic passports – plus English arrogance and the insane belief that somehow we were special and these things only happened to foreigners. Meanwhile, there’s several million EU nationals living in the UK (and vice versa) living their lives in complete uncertainty.
How this complete shambles will play out over the next few days and weeks is anyone’s guess. May’s deal is so much waste paper now. It’s been binned along with Britain’s standing in the world. meanwhile, the clock continues to tick. We’ve wasted two and a half years as our politicians argue and manoeuvre amongst themselves. Or, in the case of the Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, go missing entirely.
Britain is about to be served a very large slice of humble pie and the really stupid thing is – we baked it ourselves.
The whole thing is a disastrous shambles. You couldn’t make it up.
It has been shown over again that we’d be better of staying in the EU.
There should be a second referendum and this nonsense stopped now.
It worries me that the “Wall of Gammon” thinks it a price worth paying if their children lose their jobs and homes over this.
And now voices are saying that having the Good Friday Agreement collapse is also worth it.
Just what planet are these people on, and just what do they envisage it is that we have to escape from at all costs.
But here’s the sad outcome. When we get the next general election the current MPs are gonna get thoroughly toasted. That’s fine, but I suspect large numbers of the electorate will then not bother to vote again – feeling, surprise surprise, there really now is no point.
Indeed. A worrying scenario. My hope is that the young can be galvanised into a pattern of voting when it becomes clear what their inaction could have cost them.
