In pretty much the same way as fundamental religious types crow when science proves a tiny fraction of thir Holy book's words, ignoring the fact science says the other 99.7% can't have happened, but cling to this as proof of the truth in the word of God. Then a tiny fraction of positive news, even if it is from Economists for Brexit, or Brexit believing business types like the bloke who owns Wetherspoons of Mr Dyson, then this must be heralded as "wonderful news".
Or when DD says that Brexit will be wonderful, just because he says so, this has to be repeated in banner headlines by the Express. Despite there being zero evidence in this, just his assertion.
It emerged yesterday that the Foreign Secretary, when asked what about business in the event of a no deal or hard Brexit, replied "Fuck Business". So there you have it, from the party of business to the party of fuck business in two years.
Well done you.
And yesterday, hundreds of thousands marched through London demanding a second vote on Brexit. Although I admire them and stand with them, I know it is pointless, for a number of reasons:
1. There not enough time to get the primary and secondary legislation through Westminster before 29th March.
2. The Government would decide on the question(s) to be asked
3. Referendum got us in this mess in the first place
4. There is no guarantee that remain would win.
5. Then what?
In order for Parliament to assert its authority, it has to assert its authority. Which it failed to do this week. Meaning we are a step closer to a no deal Brexit. Or a hard Brexit than before, even if it states in the Withdrawal Bill that a no deal Brexit is not going to happen.
Confused?
You will be, and more so tomorrow.
