My view of the Brexit Outcome

(with acknowledgment to The Guardian for the quotation)
“If we are victorious in one more battle … we
shall be utterly ruined.” The Brexiters won the referendum but it is a pyrrhic
victory, the nation has just shot itself in the foot.
We are at the beginning of the end of the UK,
with a political and sickening lurch to the right.
Food and petrol will go up, taxes will likely
go up, austerity will tighten and jobs will go down, recession will bite. International
companies will want to relocate because of higher taxes and duties once we are
outside the single market. We will be excluded from the TPIP negotiations. International supply chains will miss out England
altogether.
How can this happen.
The
whole disreputable campaign was based upon multiple lies and led by a
pro-European without any principle other than his own self preservation.
The entire referendum campaign has been an
internal Tory civil war and should never have been allowed to happen in
this way. The Labour Party is also in disarray, they ran a useless a pro-Remain campaign and not able to stop the Tories in their headlong charge to become a small insignificant island on the edge of a big continent. None of the parties could influence the Murdoch Press who lead the call for Out of the EU.
Cameron has gone and The New Masters are
different from Cameron, they don’t like Europe and have a reactionary view on social affairs.
Part of the problem is the terrible failure to
deal with all the towns and estates left behind by an international economic
order which has not treated them well. Sunderland, Tees-side, Doncaster,
Wakefield and Hull have been abandoned for decades, by London far more than by Brussels.
Given the chance to vent their rage at somebody, they have obliged.
Its sad that the UK’s young people voted for an open tolerant UK in Europe while older
white voters mainly living in
non-immigrant areas, betrayed them.
So we are out of the EU and Boris Johnson right
now does not look like a man with a plan
It not looking good.
