Can anyone deny that Brexit has been a disaster for our country? Have you read a single article or anything that has told how Brexit has improved our lives? There will be those who will argue, that the short term pain is worth it because of the long term gains but the damage done will have repercussions for many years to come. Businesses are struggling and even those with the foresight to set up ready for the transition have found unknown obstacles that have only produced more paperwork and cost. We will have all realised that prices of most goods are rising faster than they have for some time and certainly more so than when we were members of the EU.
Of course this government will bury their collective heads in the sand and tell us everything is rosy and to be optimistic for our great British future. In many ways the pandemic could not have come at a better time for them disguising as it has all the harm Brexit has caused. While it remains the top priority and at the forefront of everyone’s thoughts, much else has been ignored and slipped through without notice. It does not help that our collective reporting media are now so neutered and afraid of hard hitting journalism, that the really important stuff hardly gets a mention or gets no mention at all. The BBC runs a column that is supposed to fact check the truth of a particular minister track record, it is nothing but a soft pedalling justification of that ministers performance. They are so frightened of confrontation that they are no longer capable of asking the hard questions or actually holding this government to account and they are not alone. When have we had such sustained corruption and lies that are seemingly never challenged in any meaningful way and the government goes on it’s merry way, safe in the knowledge that they seem to be untouchable! The newspapers are a little more corrosive in their reporting but unfortunately they do not have either the circulation or influence that they once did.
It is exacerbated by the apathy and uncaring attitude of much of our population and who can blame them when they are trying to get on with their own lives and no longer believe or trust that there is a damn thing they can do about it? I am really stunned and amazed that there are still so many who think that Boris is the right man for the job, when every scrap of evidence screams how appalling he is. The political vacuum caused by the mess Labour and other parties have got themselves in has been a huge contributory factor to the Tories success, of that there can be no doubt but it is not an excuse for not holding them to account and pointing out how they are seriously fucking up our country!
Remember in 2020 you voted them in for a further 5 years, the horror they are going to cause in that time will be incalculable and I will say I told you so!
Stay well
