Get over Brexit

Ever since the referendum result, Brexiteers have DELIGHTED in telling us "remoaners", that we should just get over Brexit and accept it.

Well, we have. I have. I might not like it, but it has happened. I will never embrace it, as it is turning out every bit as badly as feared.

But I'll tell you who needs to get over Brexit: Brexiteers!

This is the hardest of Brexits, the one most would have wet their pants for five years ago, they told us how great it was, that we all knew what was in it and so there was no need for scrutiny, and passsed through Parliament in a metter of a few hours.

And here were are. Or they are: bitching like bitches.

Well, maybe if you believe in your Brexit more, you would make more of a success of it?

The UK Government chose control over trade, and guess what? Trade suffered. Suffers. But that was a UK Government policy decision.

Northern Ireland was always going to be the problem, but once being out of the SM and CU there had to be a border, just a matter of where.

And here we are.

You like Brexit and not like the consequences, bitches? Well, join the fucking club. But this is your clusterfuck, and starting a trade war with the EU and probably the US too isn't going to make it better, is it?

As DAG points out, wisely, there has not been made a positive case for the effects of Brexit or the NIP. Just as Remainers never made a positive case for being a member state. In what way has Brexit improved life in the UK, Britain or NI? Not at all, and it will get worse. And the hard reality is, that as Britain moves away from alignment with the EU and our borders will get harder, so will the border between Britain and NI.

These are facts.

Pesky things.

Five years were spent trying to come up with alternatives to border checks; technologial solutions, alternative arrangements and even madder ideas, and nothing worked, or was within 5 years of being usable. So, here we are. Either have dynamic alignment, or have borders. Borders between Britain and the EU and between Britain and NI. Rather than make that choice, Johnson seems to be choosing a trade war.

Please call me when a grown up takes charge of this country. Elect a clown, get a circus.
