Day 246
Let’s have a little fishy on a little dishy! What a country and what a press we have, bring out the gunboats! Nothing like an overreaction! What ever the sticking points on a deal you have to say both sides are responsible but there would be no deal to talk about if we had not voted to leave. History will not reflect well on this period of the UK and its politics. I will bet you that within 10 years we will be asking to join again albeit hopefully with a more savvy negotiator than we have right now! You would not trust either side to negotiate their way round the inside of a dustbin! What is this never ending obsession some people in the UK have with jingoism, patriotic superiority and the thought that we are a great nation who should be specially treated by all other countries? The world is not in enthralled by the UK, I am sure most don’t give us a second thought. Boris’s bright future is a fantasy based on a country that has largely given up it’s own manufacturing and sold off large chunks to the French, Germans, Chinese and others. I have no problem with that. It’s a global market. I am fed up being told that together we will build a better Britain when all the evidence points to a country that is divided in so many ways, North and South, men and women, rich and poor, haves and have nots, still riddled with prejudice, inequality and the remnants of a class system that we still can’t quite shake off! Yes we have great things as well, we are brilliant at many many activities and products, world class at lots of stuff and still a country to be respected and admired. There will be those who diametrically and fundamentally disagree with this view, those who truly believe we are headed for better prospects, out of the EU, masters of our own destiny, able to determine our own future. I hope they are right but I see little evidence to support that opinion. At best they are naive and at at worse deluded!
On a brighter note we have made and had accepted and offer on a large apartment in Kettering. So now the culling of stuff begins!
Stay well
