What to do...

Like you, I am fed up with Brexit. No really, I hate it with a passion, hate it that my mind knows all this Brexit-related stuff, and wish I could just stop writing about it.

And yet I've come so far.

Three and a half years, starting out with a blog a week or two, and now several times a day.

There are a couple of stopping points coming up: one after December 12th when the result of the election is known. Or 31st January 2020 when the next Brexit day is supposed to happen.

I think it would be worthwhile to see how Brexit pans out to be honest, to see how the country changes, gets poorer, and the majority come to realise that they wished Johnson had not go Brext done at all.

And again, when confronted with the reality of trying to negotiate a trade deal with the EU in six months, which won't happen, would Johnson really take the economy over the cliff at the end of the WA period anyway? He said he will, but then he said that about the 31st October date. A no deal Brexit, whenever it happens would cripple the economy, business and exports, and until the ways through it were found, which could take months or longer, confronted with a choice of that or breaking another political promise, I think Johnson would extend.

And extend.

Farage has put his faith in Johnson's promises. More fool him, Johnson hasn't kept a promise his whole life, and is looking at the election as not to deliver Brexit but to keep him in power for five years.

I wouldn't trust Johnson to tell the time to be honest, let alone trust him enough to stand down 317 potential MPs. It seems Farage doesn't really want Brexit that much either, just likes to sound he does. I don't think I have heard him come up with any constructive plans for Brexit, other than getting it done, to use Johnson's words. And his "part" still hasn't released its manifesto from the EU elections in May, let alone for this election.

This is one of the oddest elections I can remember, in that most politicians are hiding from the public. When Johnson does meet someone from the public, they lambaste him for not doing something, or having done something, and he cannot debate his way out of a plastic bag, odd for someone from Eton, but luckily for him he only has Corbyn to debate against, and they are both as bad as each other, and both refust to debae Jo Swinson or Nicola Sturgeon.

Cowards both.

So the election will be run on soundbites, lies and trying to outdo each other on who would spend more, tax less, without any reference to reality, and meanwhile both wanting to deliver Brexit that will wreck the economy.

What a time to be alive.
