We're all playing our parts

In a time of bogus conspiracy theories, the only real conspiracy is the conspiracy of silence. No one should be able to deny that Britain is in an economic and political crisis brought on by Brexit. Yet the government won’t talk about it. The opposition dare not mention it. The rightwing press won’t cover it. And broadcasters fear they will be damned as biased if they admit it. Rather than face reality, we live in an imaginary Britain, a land of make-believe, where the political class act out parts as if they are on a film set.

So says an article in today's Observer:

Just because you don't see how bad things are going, doesn't they are going well. You can pretned all is well, whilst all is on fire.

That the Opposition won't talk about it because Johnson can bluster and call Starmer a remoaner and declare it the "people's vote" or "vcoice of the people" means that it is not discussed in Parliament, not even, especially not in, PMQs.

The right leaning/loving press have been cheerleading for Brexit for years, even if there was no evidence for it.

And any broadcaster that questions Brexit and complicit Monisters don't have guests to be interviewed. Sky News, Newsnight and GMB have all be sent into broadcast Coventry, only let back in once Brexit has been delivered and its all too late. But even now, questioning Brexit is still running Britain down, even stating the fact that, for goods, NI is no longer in the UK, or the UK single market.

So, the pretence goes on and on. Meanwhile businesses are stressed or just give up altogether.

In time consumers will see the effect, either from increased costs for produce and costs or reduced choice. Probably both. But it will be too late.

The latest fantasy is that in order to unlock the border issues, a railway tunnel should be built from Scotland to NI to facilitate trade.

Such a tunnel would be operational some time after 2050, so not much hope for a lack of food in 2021. That the geography all but make such construction impossible, so does thousands of tons of dumped WWII exposives. Still, it makes good headlines for a few hours in the Sunday Telegraph. Another monor problem is that all of Ireland uses a different guage to Britain, but hey, TUNNEL!
