I am still Remoaning

I don’t give a flying fish what dear Theresa May puts in a letter to the EU. I am not even remotely bothered by what her squad of Brexit managers leap in with apologies for.

I do not, will not, cannot, don’t see why I have to accept that the decision of 37% of the electorate should stagnate and stultify the future of the UK, and its future generations.

The one thing I do know, from watching political machinations in the UK and around the world, is that nothing is ever final. Especially when those at the top say it is!

Over the past few months we have seen, in technicolour, how political leaders can perform 180 degree turns without shame. And this is no different.

Dear Theresa has instigated a supposed one way only action. But one with a long run time. And there is no reason why, further down the line, a reverse gear is found.

It will all come down to expediency. The referendum was to supposedly save the Tory Party from UKIP – great move there Dave. And, with no constitutional or legal compliance requirements, the ‘result’ is being pushed through for the gratification of an unelected party leader with a desire for a legacy, any legacy.

The support for Remain was disappointingly lukewarm from Jeremy Corbyn, due in part to a concern about a threat to Labour strongholds. Even though constituents in those heartlands will suffer most from Brexit.

And the bullshit and the bollocks still fly around from the peddlers of post truth.

My hope, my enduring and fervent prayer, is that the EU plays hard ball, rock hard ball. And why shouldn’t they? The breakup of a united Europe is the alternative, with all the anguish of isolation that previous centuries have shown us.

So, to your undemocratic, unconstitutional Brexit – just wait. When the end gets closer, when it is clearer that, for political expediency, a reversal is necessary, none of the ‘Only One Way’ proclaimers will have any problem in doing an about-face, again.

The only thing you and I can trust in is that the decision will not be taken in our best interests, but in the perceived interests of those in power.

Comforting, isn’t it?
