We Remainers have always inhabited reality (a deep understanding of the peace that our 45-year membership had maintained and the far-right forces that wished to dismantle it), trade agreements, freedoms and rights, treaties and data. We argued tirelessly with the myopic fantasy of WTO Brexiters (who preferred sentiments, wilful blind
belief in the lies of a red bus and the selfish, shameless rabble-rousing liars over pragmatism and reality) to the jeers of "Project Fear".
I don't think I've ever known such absurd cultism in my life as
that of Brexit, rooted in fantasy and wilful sentimentality for a time that never existed, for freedoms
we already had.
Many Britons looked at dinghies instead of yachts,
and felt a misplaced anger. A xenophobia and Islamophobia, deliberately
exploited by those who knew how to get middle England in a frenzy with destroying
their own lives. As for the non-racists? The NHS would do. The NHS that
the very architects of Brexit sought to privatise and routinely voted AGAINST
time and time again.
The far-right press promoted xenophobia, racism and Islamophobia as "nationalism", which appealed hugely to those who probably knew little REAL history and possibly understood even less.
And they bought the fantasy that we would TAKE BACK CONTROL.
And hand it over to Trump and Putin and Dom Cummings.
For us, Brits, there is nothing less patriotic than Brexit.
I think my biggest concern is the lack of control/say Britain will now have in Europe. We had an influence beyond our size - if Europe does go off at a tangent, then we'll just be another outsider without any control of the direction.
We certainly did but no more. Let's hope the actions of this immoral, unethical bunch of "leaders" (whose own leader is Dom C), doesn't force Europe to take us to the Court of Justice in Brussels.
The fantasy of Brexiters will meet reality in earnest very soon.
I don't imagine that ardent No-deal Brexiters, who
voted in the utter buffoon that is Boris Johnson to seal their fantasy-deal, admit their painful mistake.
The ideology of Brexit appears to be at its very core one of
blaming others for one's own mistakes. That won't change.
The voices of Brexit will, no doubt, continue to scream
abuse at those who have never wavered from their constant position: that Brexit
is a terrible tragedy which our country has voluntarily forced upon
itself.
1 January 2021 will herald the real Brexit. Essentially, we are in the EU still. And all that brings. I'm rather certain people will, too late,
realise what they have lost. Aside from the
ultra-rich Brexit funders, who wish for a crash so that they can make
their billions on short bets (a quick google will show you how the key creators
of Brexit have all moved their funds into the EU and bet against the pound in
anticipation of their day of gold).
We turned our friends into enemies, and our enemies
into friends because many believed the lies they were told.
There are no winners here except the tax-avoiding
billionaires who orchestrated Brexit, with the help of Putin's interference, to
bring about the disaster capitalism that feeds the ultra rich at the expense of
everyone else.
When Coronavirus paralysed most of the world, the fund manager of Somerset Capital Management (co-founded by Rhys-Mogg, son of the above author) told clients that the dive in stock market valuations around the world since the pandemic took hold had made “excellent entry points for investors”. “Market dislocations of this magnitude happen rarely, perhaps once or twice in a generation...History has shown us that super normal returns can be made during this type of environment.”
I fear, we're facing a winter of
discontent like no other
By the way, the majority of British citizens did NOT vote "Leave".
