Ship of Fools

In short: Brexit - in the form envisaged - is not deliverable by anyone.

In 2016 a bunch of chancers promised an end to free movement whilst retaining the economic benefits of EU membership, withdrawing from a customs union and abounding a hard border in Ireland. Basically cake for everyone.

As we have seen, that’s simply not possible.

I know it doesn’t wash down the pub, but I’m a passionate European because the EU and the EEC before it brought peace to a troubled continent. More practically, the UK has an amazing deal from Europe which includes: opt out from the Euro AND Schengen together with a 4.9billion budget rebate.

Ironically, Farrage and his bastard pals have created a situation where we have to give up a great deal and cede control to Brussels. So much for sovereignty.

We are s**t f**ked. And our children doubly so.
