Reactive Times

There has never been a plan for Brexit.

Never.

Just dogma.

Same with COVID, really.

No plan, just dogma. So what if it kills a few old people? Well, a hundred thousand old people is a lot of mourning families.

And the no plan Brexit, hoping to sound mad enough to cut off our own limbs might make the EU give in to our mad demands?

There was no plan for Brexit at the referendum, or afterwards. The hope that the claim "they need us more then we need them" wold hold true, and somehow May or Johnson could pull a rabbit out of the magic hat. German car makers, Italian Prosecco producers would ride to our aid and force the EU into a U Turn. Didn't happen through the lat four year, isn't gojng to happen over the final 6 months. The SM and CU is worth more than any trade with the UK.

The plan might be to have no deal all along, in which case the plan is going well. But there will be blame There will be an inquiry. There will be documented evidence, from the Civil Service. There will be no hiding. Enough blame for everyone.

And yet, even now, Brexiteers try to blame anyone else; today it was remainers (again) for not fighting hard enough against the lies they spun. Well, project fear will become project truth and then project reality. There is no escape from reality, which is why in March and October last year, things got so very hairy, as the madness of Brexit met reality.

Reality will always win out.

So what is left is to blame someone else. Blame remainers, the EU, foreigners, whover for Brexit, and blame "the science", the NHS, staff for using PPE incorrectly and now care home for the Government policy of emptying ICUs of old patients for transfer to care homes, all untested. But, sure, Matt Hancock, its always someone else. And don't me started on your explanation on Radio 4 this morning as to why passengers sitting next to aircraft is fine, but not in theatres. Social distancing is needed because of social distancing. I think that was it.

All over the weekend, leading lights form the worl of theatre, cinema and music highlight the dire state of venues up and down the country, as the Government hadn't sent a penny their way in four months.

Today, £1.54 billion was found, just the way Marcus Rashford shone a light on school poverty, and forced a u turn.
