We are polishing a turd though. The brexiters were sold a lie, and no substance as to what ‘being out’ will actually look like for the country.
It’s almost like the moment when a stroppy child says they’re leaving home, slam the door and then in mild panic just sit on the doorstep because the implications of ‘out’ are too unfathomably difficult to navigate and unpick. Brexit is costing the country a fortune (directly and indirectly). In the business that I am in (energy) we have had no end of projects cancelled, limited capacity for new legislation and our german parent company are bit-by-bit pulling out of the UK.
An aquantaince of mine, a very successful businessman (and a very right wing brexiter) got very excited recently when the additional money for the NHS was in the news, “see, there’s even more money than was on the red bus, yah boo”. Believing the spin and propaganda once again…silence when they started talking about raising tax to meet the subsequent bill. ‘kin muppet.
But tell the brexit voters that they were sold a lie and they will always resort to turning aggressive and quote ‘the will of the people’.
5, 4, 3, 2 …
