Well I had to write something even though I am currently in the warmth of Crete. Need I even say, what I think, of the suggestion that we return to Imperial weights and measures. The opportunity for sarcasm and humour are endless. The reaction has been entirely predictable and when I first read the proposal I wondered if I had lost a few months and it was April 1st!
Never mind that the education system has been teaching metric and many will have no idea what pounds and ounces are, surely the very simplicity of metric is the very reason we use it? This idea that we must return to the “values” of some idyllic past is a nonsense and this is just another example of this governments inane thinking! Divorce from the EU does not mean you have to abandon all the shared commonality simply because you have to be “independent”!
Soon much of the legislation that protects our wildlife, fauna and countryside, that was agreed under EU membership is going to be repealed. It will leave our countryside woefully unprotected and you can bet all sorts of development will be granted to yet more cronies of this corrupt Conservative party.
How strange that all those Brexit supporters are silent now the effect that leaving has become the disaster that even they secretly knew it would be. I have not read or heard a single one shouting or boasting of the advantages it has provided since our exit? Nothing has happened other than turmoil, additional bureaucracy, job vacancies and shortages, whilst huge additional costs have blighted businesses at every turn. Welcome to Britain’s bright new future!
I’m just going to enjoy the rest of my hols and try to forget about it all!
Stay well
