It's Brexit, stupid

An interesting point: if Brexiteers were so clever, or as clever as they believe themselves to be, we would have already left the EU.

Brexit should have happened, not only because of the A50 process, but an actual WA was negotiated and agreed between the UK Government and EU, which the EU27 then ratified.

Brexiteers then voted the WA down three times in the meaningful votes, that would have given them the Brexit they had dreamed of three years before.

Some might argue that this is because they always want more, will never be satisfied unless they are screaming "betrayal" at someone or something.

Or could it be that they know Brexit will be bad, and are stying to stop it, so they can scream "betrayal" until they all get seats in the House of Lords?

That last point would only apply if we thought they had the intelligence to do so and plan for it, and I don't think they do.

But I should also point out that Leave did not win the referendum, or have won the arguments since then, Remain has.

Remainers just are not as passionate about jobs, welfare, prosperity, our place on the world stage as the Remainers are against it.

And until Remainers learn to pool their resources, team up no fight each other, Leave will win out, or the arguments Leave spout will go unchallenged.

One last point, Johnson is proposing a huge raft of tax cuts in the event of no deal; Stamp Duty, as well as tax cuts for the middle classes, of which I am now one of, amazingly. But it will have to be costed, and how these will be funded needs to be asked of Johnson, as it will be taxes from elsewhere, or more spending cuts.

And everything will be sacrificed to protect pensions, as pensions are the Tories and Leavers core demographic, and pensions are triple locked So starving children, dying poor and disabled people will be thrown under the red bus to pay for pensions and tax cuts for Middle England.

Thousands of poor and disabled people died under austerity, and the electorate didn't care, apparently. Or care enough to vote the Tories out of power.

And then they voted for Brexit, austerity on steroids ahead. Failing to think of the consequences of their actions, and votes.
