The Jelltex Christmas message

I would like to think that those who voted for brexit were not xenophobes, nazis, white supremacists or anything like that, but most of them only wanted what is best for the country. Ans that they had thought long and hard about the choice, what leaving would mean, and on weighing the evidence, decided knowing what this would lead to in terms of the people, businesses and economy.

But as what most people believed was written on the side of a bus, and known back then to be wrong, and that since the referendum, it has been shown time and time that even those who had been pushing for Britain to leave the EU had not the foggiest what to do if they won. The chief headbanging Brexiteer, Nigel Farrage, resigned from his role as leader of UKIP, to become a talk radio host, the snipe from the sidelines without offering really any real world solutions. But then there are no solutions to Brexit that would work in the real world.

The Cabinet, Government, Parliament and the country will not come together, because over half of all knows that Brexit is a folly on a grand scale and will be a disaster. Why should be just accept that was by all purposes a coup to circumvent political and Parliamentary norms? I will not stand by and just accept the current situation, when it is shown time and time again that Britain has sent out little public school boys in the shape of DD to negotiate trade deals for the country, with no plan, no data, no plan, no idea, no plan, no analysis, no plan.

What will the New Year bring? Well, more reality, more capitulation from Britain, and the sight of May, DD trying to explain why the easiest deals in history were not easy at all, and that in order for what left is of the economy to survive that we just sign what is put in front of us in terms of deal.

I have heard it said that in the next 3 months free movement will be accepted by UK, thus freeing up softer options. I hope so, but the headbangers will not let this lie. Things need to get worse and worse before the majority accept what a clusterfuck Brexit is becoming. Put the Brexit in reverse too early, and it will only return in a few years. Anyway, we don't know if it can be reversed, the Government knows, or has a very good idea in that it asked the best legal minds in the country to come up with an opinion. Interesting that the Government won't release that, so draw your own conclusions. Or it could be that the Government will have to ask, formally, the EU27 to pause or stop Brexit. And in allowing that, the EU would have to have "good faith" that Britain really meant it, which will putting UK staying in the EU into UK law. Or could insist on even harder demands; joining the Euro, even freer movement, and so on. But for now, I see no real political desire to stop Brexit, at least in public, and while the Labour Party just claps along, then the polls are currently neck and nek, and that is when the Tories are messing things up on a scale not seen since Aden.

So, in the New Year, the Brexiteers will be screaming louder and louder as reality becomes harder and harder to ignore, and the real affect, as companies relocate to mainland Europe and will never return. The effects of Brexit will be permanent even if it stopped, and that is very unlikely indeed.
