The Woke have more to answer for than usual as we begin to grapple with the economic damage that was always guaranteed to follow any form of Brexit, be it Oven Ready or Jobs First.
Indeed, it is arguably more than half the fault of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition than Her Majesty’s Government that Brexit occurred at all. One only has to look at the records in parliament to see Corbyn and the other Trots conspiring with the most dimwitted Conservative Brexit headbangers in 2012 to pull the UK star off the Flag of Europe. They failed then, until a too innocent and well meaning David Cameron found a way to satisfy their outdated aims.
Clearly we have now entered the ”This is not my Brexit, it’s too…” stage, as once robust Brexit proponents in the print and in the government explain why it’s not their fault, their vision was sound.
Everyone really could have done with some coaching from people who claim to earn their livings by deep knowledge of the workings of Europe? Where were the experts when they were needed? Certainly not on BBCQT! They just left the hard work to Nigel Farage, which borders on animal cruelty, if you can be cruel to a single celled organism.
Happily Labour are still in support of the government, Boris Johnson, and the overall Brexit project. They claim they can make it work. I say let them try, so the public can be in no doubt about who owns the project in the near future when Conservative MPs, more attuned to holding onto power, turn about face en masse in a show of political courage. Labour can remain Her Majesty’s Official Opposition into perpetuity, thus ensuring the dividends earned from privatised public services remain in tax havens where they belong.
Today is the day to strike, while the iron is warming. The Prime Minister must take to the lectern in some woebegone hell hole in the North and lay the blame where it serves Tory electoral interests best. It is not too soon, currency traders with friends in government have had more than enough mornings to adjust their positions for profit, based on a possible understanding of what ministers will say next.
The fat has been taken off the UK lamb. It is now positively anorexic, thanks to Brexit. It is now time to promote closer alignment with Europe and fatten it up again for the next harvest. Blame the experts and turn the page to a new chapter of the UK at peace with our friends in Europe.
