Friday Brexit

With each week that goes by, it seems there are more reasons to undermine the legitimacy of the referendum. Aron Banks' referral to the NCA being the latest, but due to UK's weak election law, this is probably not enough to seriously challenge the result from standing, nor for the PM to call for a second referendum. Democracy replies on all sides fighting on a level playing field, which the referendum clearly wasn't. In an election of a candidate had deliberately overspent and sought to hide that, there would be a by-election called.

May said yesterday, or was reported to have said, she don't care about facts, just getting Brexit done.

So there we have it.

One last word this week on whether the EU is "punishing" the UK in it's stance. It is the UK leaving, and from that moment the EU has the absolute right to protect the interests of the SM, its member states and economy. If doing that is punishment, then, well. If there is any punishing going on, it is the UK punishing itself, which I think we probably deserve it, turkeys voting for Christmas and all that. Any WA and future trade deal has to be in compliance with EU rules, WTO rules, and be able to ratified by all EU27 member states. It was never going to eb easy; I equate it to May going into a casino and putting the house on red 28 times, and needing that to pay the rent.

Whether the net closes in on Banks, Farrage, Assange et al before Brexit happens, I don't know. But all this stuff has always been out there and the BBC and most of the print media have chosen to ignore it. History's verdict will be damning.
