I am a Remoaner, and proud of it!

I know, everyone keeps saying ‘Get over it.”It’s decided.’ ‘Brexit is Brexit.”The people have spoken.’

Bollocks. And again bullshit.

37% of the electorate have spoken, well ticked. Not exactly the people. And if it seems that I am still angry about it, I am. Fuming. Still.

I am not saying that those that voted Leave were idiots, or foolish. Because I have spoken to some who appear intelligent enough to make a rational choice. So, not idiots or foolish, but certainly gullible.

Gullible to fall for the appealing notion that we can be free from EU imposed regulations and laws, even though 94% were supported, and many instigated, by ourselves.

Gullible to believe that Europe, and the rest of the world, will be desperate to establish advantageous trade deals even though the doorway to the EU is gone.

Gullible to believe that the support from the EU will be continued, and the rules protecting the workplace, and the environment, and food safety, will all still be there.

But above all, gullible to believe that the problems that are afflicting the disillusioned areas of the UK that supported Leave were somehow down to the EU, and immigration.

The areas that are suffering most, the lower paid, the forgotten non-London parts of the UK, are doing so because of the policies of the Tory Party. They are the ones that cut off the life lines, the support, the care.

And the referendum wasn’t to consult the people. It was supposed to save the Tories from division. And that worked well!

And, as a side-bar, if anyone is curious as to why Trump is still in the race in the US, it’s because both parties ‘forgot’ about the disillusioned and dispossessed, and most particularly the Republicans, who stopped the governmental process dead.

But back to the UK.

This is the worst decision that has been made in this country since the beginning of democracy. It will reduce the country’s ability to develop, to grow as a decent society. So much that we rely on is now owned by overseas interest that we can never be an ‘independent’ country again. So we need to remain within a structure that supports that.

Brexit is not Brexit. Brexit is national suicide by stealth. It is unfair, unconstitutional, unrealistic, irrational.

So yes, sorry one and all, but I am a Remoaner, and I am still angry.
