Remain in light

Trending on Twitter this morning is “remainer”, as apparently, some bed-wetting Brexiteer has blamed those who voted against Brexit and pointing it out again and again what a colossal bad idea it was, was, in fat, the root cause of why we have ended up with a hard or no deal Brexit.

Are they suggesting such an end point is a bad idea, then?

We are at this point because the then PM, Theresa May said that Brexit meant leaving the SM and CU. From that point on it was a hard Brexit we were heading for.

If, as a country, the UK is out of either, this creates a regulatory border and will create checks, paperwork, delays and costs.

It really is that simple.

And leaving both and then accepting that you need a border, its just a case of where the border will be.

Again, very simple.

In Ireland, it is either along the border or in the Irish Sea. One or the other. Don’t like those choices then choose no border by be in the SM and CU.

Simple.

Vote Leave and Leave.EU won the referendum, Vote Leave is basically the Cabinet now, they have made the choices, no one, least of all May or Johnson, reached out to build bridges, we were told, you lost, get over it. We did, though will point out when what we said would happen, the things you said were project fear, actually happen, every fucking time, in a voice loud enough to be heard on the fucking moon.

In fact, I had to point out to a friend who asked, how can the UK sign a trade deal with Japan when it is still a member of the EU? We left the EU at the end of January 2020, but the transition agreement means it feels like we haven’t left. That was political Brexit. Economic Brexit will happen on January 1st next year, and I say with a high degree of confidence, we will notice.

We remainers can be blamed for some things, but will not accept being blamed for Brexit or it being hard or no deal. It simply isn’t true. We have the receipts, the old tweets and referendum literature. We know. You know.

You won, get over it, and take responsibility.

Brexit has been quiet for a few days now. Talks are ongoing, but no news has been leaked, which is a good sign, possibly. We shall see.

Just sayin’.
