What have we done to our country? Not enough HGV drivers, shortages, many industries without enough staff to continue. I want to know why anybody thought becoming “independent Britain” was a good idea rather than remaining in the biggest trading block in the world. Don’t tell me it’s just teething problems and it will all sort itself out, the damage is already done and will hamper our future for years. The stupidity of this idiotic decision has been discussed to death, not least of all by me. I am not going to re-hash all the old arguments here but surely it is obvious that our leaving the EU was a serious error in judgement. I can absolutely assure you it was not a movement that had the best interests in mind for Britain but it was a underpinned by those who had vested interest and could line their own pockets. the wealthy (and I mean really wealthy), it is the rest of us that have to deal with the consequences! Nobody saw Covid coming (did they?) and it certainly put a huge wrench in any plans but each day brings fresh evidence of the monumental foolishness of our exit. You do not have to be an expert in geo-politics to see the mess that has been created, so much uncertainty, so much change that was completely unnecessary! Furthermore, have you noticed that prices have rapidly risen for all sorts of goods and at a far faster rate than normal. Wages have remained stagnant, prices have risen, shortages of many goods, not enough staff, travel in Europe (ignoring Covid) more difficult, export bureaucracy and cost increased, no European court of human rights and many other additional difficulties, not to mention the mess that is Northern Ireland! Oh what a happy bunch of campers we in our free and independent Britain are! It will all be okay because Boris says it will and if anyone would know it would be him, because he obviously is so capable of leading us in to this bright new future, as he has already proved! Never in our recent history, has a convergence of events happened whilst our future has been in the hands of such an incompetent and badly run government, what a recipe, you could not write it! The don’t have a clue what is going on in the country and don’t care. There answer to everything, is the answer of privileged rich boys and women, out of touch with real lives and no understanding of the daily problems that so many face!
It has prompted us once again to plan leaving this place and living in Crete, our spiritual home. Of course it is not as easy as it once was but it can be done. I don’t particularly want leave on a more permanent basis but this country just makes me sad and angry and that is no way to live. I would miss much about our land (not the climate) and all our family and friends but………………………..
Stay well
