Your Easter Brexit

It has been quiet for the past few days, in the world of Brexit. May is on holiday, and DD is standing in front of shop windows looking at his reflections. Gove is doing exactly what the billionaire Brexit backers tell him to.

The Telegraph turned their Barclay Brother endorsed guns on the Electoral Commission, after it emerged that a crowd funded bid to investigate spending of the two main Leave Parties as there is such clear evidence that one part-funded the other. This might not change the result of the referendum, not annul it, but it casts the result and the campaign in ever more shady light, and the evidence goes straight to Gove's feet. That Johnson was all too keen to dismiss any possible collusion as being nonsense, without actually looking at the evidence.

Also it has emerged to Legatum Institute, a hard Brexit-pushing organisation, has enjoyed direct contact with Ministers when industry leaders don't stand a chance. It becomes ever clearer that the Brexiteers and Legatum are pushing for an ever harder Brexit, irrespective of what the cost to the country is, and being cheered on by the right leaning press.

On the other side of the political spectrum, Corbyn is pushing for Brexit no matter what, even though the official party policy as voted for at conference is to remain in the SM at least. He was elected on a platform that the members would create the policies the party would follow, not even he as leader would go against that. And yet he has and still is. He has enormous backing from Momentum, who see an attack on Corbyn as being ideologically driven, when it is clear to most people, he's just rubbish. There will be no last minute conversion to the EU or SM cause, as Corbyn blames the EU for blocking his dream policies of nationalising many industries, even when it has been proved, over and over again, that this is not the case. He also has said on may occasions that a country can't leave the EU and be in the SM. Norway???

I have partly given in on Brexit; I think Britain deserves it, we were dumb enough to vote for Cameron, the referendum and May. We need to learn the consequences of our actions, and suffer for it. Sadly it will be future generations that will pay, whilst those of my age will see pensions retreat ever further into the future, never obtainable, the NHS will be a memory as it can't be afforded and has to be sold off as part of a trade deal with the US. Farming will be decimated, which serves Old McDonald and co right as they pressed so hard for it. Sadly it will be the landscape and environment that will suffer as downland and fells will not be grazed, thus making dozens of species extinct. I will never, ever get bored of telling every fool, bigot, racist and dreamer who voted for Brexit "I told you so".
