Brexit: no happy ending

I have posed the question of, what is Brexit for, several times.

It was sold to the UK population as a sovereignty issue and how much money we could save.

We have saved nothing.

Rather than cutting red tape, it has been increased, just as was predicted by non-believing remoaners.

But for Europe, Brexit was the rejection of the post WWII European dram as wanted by leaders such as Churchill, of a continent united by politics, so that a European war would never happen again.

It it the rejection of that which has shocked our neighbours. Apart from the sheer stupidity of it.

And now it turns out Votel Leave and now the Conservative Party and City of London awash with Russian money which has bought their ear and influence.

We saw with yesterday's feeble sanctions as announced by Johnson, that money has bought indecision on the part of a post-Brexit UK Government which was supposed to be more nimble freed of discussions with 27 other member states. That the EU acted with unity and action in sanctioning hundred of Russian politicians show how much of a lie Brexit really has been.

A Parliamentary debate on Ukraine has been scheduled for, March 7th, some two weeks away.

So much for swift action.

Johnson joked in a defence committee last year that tanks will no longer sweep across Europe, so there was no need for the UK to build more. Less than 12 months later, Russian tanks are sweeping into Ukraine, while he offers thoughts and prayers.

On top of Brexit and COVID, a third crisis of a European war shows how pathetic Johnson and his Cabinet are.

A shambles and a national shame.
