General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
Thanks for the question, TerryW.
At first I, like many others, thought that Brexit could be a positive outcome for the UK. I was taken in by the so called 'brexiteers' rhetoric and propaganda; 'make our own laws, more money to spend on the NHS, stop being dictated to by Merkel, control immigration etc..' It sounded like a logical idea at the time.
But now, 3 years later, what can one say??? It's a mess, isn't it? It's as clear as day that our so called MP's (the men and women who are paid handsomely to represent the people) have failed their constituents. A small toxic clique have now infested the front benches of the Tory party and turned it into an ultra right wing laughing stock. Boris Johnson is a lying buffoon who doesn't know his a*se from his elbow! He is doing precisely nothing to get a deal in Brussels, whilst simultaneously telling the cameras that he's working tirelessly to get one! See what I mean?...Laughable!
All this stems from the fact that the British people were afraid. Fear came out in huge numbers at the ballot box and sadly it was all done in such a ram-shackled way that the electorate didn't have time to educate themselves properly, and allowed themselves to be duped by Boris' big red bus and Farage's divide & conquer strategy to get his grubby little hands on the keys to Number 10.
Populism, austerity & fear were the main components of the Brexit debacle and now that our MP's have failed us and we are faced with a NO DEAL scenario, every leave voter should seriously ask themselves: 'Is this what we really voted for?'
