The difference engine

If you were to compare the Brexit that was promised before the referendum, and what has been delivered, it has all turned to dust.

It wasn't the easiest deal in history, and it did not lead to sunlit uplands. Neither have there been any apparent upsides to Brexit, just considerable downsides. Agin the opposite of what was promised.

No one got the Brexit which they voted for, those that say they do now are just lying again.

As predicted at the end fo last year in these posts, all have pretty much now rejected the deal hailed as a success in November 2019 and was deemed oven-ready and would get Brexit done.

Brexit is not done.

The very people who told us they would get Brexit done with that oven-ready deal now want to renegotiate it, and when that is done, apparently negotiate it all over.

The very project fear the Brexiteers sneered at have come true, but now those sneers now tell us the pain was all part of the plan.

Temporary teething problems are now more permanent, and with increased rules coming into force, maybe, on imports from the EU on January 1st, shortages will just get more widespread.

Brexit was the UK demanding it wanted to be treated as a third country, now it is a third country it compains that it doesn't have the benefits of the single market it rejected.

This is winner's remorse.

And in rejecting the oven-ready deal, the Government is going against the will of the people who voted for its implementation, all in the name of the very same people.

The Government has no plan.

The Government never had a plan.

Just slogans.

You can't eat slogans, heat your house with slogans nor fill up for car with slogans.

We drift from crisis to crisis, and in the words of Chris Grey, its not a metter of "crisis, what crisis. It's crisis, which crisis?"

Have a splendid weekend.
