Aint that the truth?

All through my life, no matter who was Prime Minister, whichever party was in power, you knew that they would obey the Law.

Although Tony Blair stretched that with the second Gulf War and the legal advice that was or wasn't given.

But if the Government told, generally, the truth.

This week, in The Commons, Michael Gove the Cabinet Secretay, told a bare faced lie which will be in Hansard for ever. That the EU is not ready for Brexit and it will be their fault for border chaos.

This goes againt the internal letter that was leaked this week showing that the UK is, indeed, not ready. That that lack of preparedness is down to the Government and not busness is subject to another lie.

If members of this Government, from the PM down, are willing to lie so easily, and the media, for whatever reason, don't call them out for it: what can we do?

IN these posts I have laid out, sometimes over and over again, the truth, the reality of Brexit and the quite simple, but difficult choices that have to be made. The same lies about "WTO Brexit", GATTT Artice XIV, or alternative arrangements or technological solutions reappear time and time again like a monster at the end of a horror film.

Brexit is based on belief. Always was, and always will. It was once said it was going badly because people did not believe in it enough. MPs, Ministers and now Civil Servants get their jobs if they are believers or not. The fact that they don't know how to do their job, understand how trade or whatever their department does, is irrelevant. They believe, and mostly, follow orders.

This is 1984 made real, the Government has already pulled of the greatest trick, getting people to not believe wwhat they see with their own eyes or hear with their ears. Job losses are large and will only get worse, many companies blame Brexit or Brexit-related issues.

Johnson still uses the "remoaner" attack lines to bludgeon Starmer, or anyone into silence. As if stopping or trying to mitigate the worse of the damage Brexit will casuse is a bad thing.

We have seen over the past four years this and the previous Government, but especially this Government, blame anyone else for their failings, and this will be used when whatever happens in January happens. It is now pretty much unstoppable. I would like to say that common sense means there will be an extension. But we have been relying on common sense and facts since before the referendum. And here we are.

Maybe we have to go through this to find that Brexit really was insanity, and reveal the lies. But it will cause much pain, and the pain will last decades. The country may never fully recover.

But we did warn you.
