In/out, turned out to be, shake it all about
We had a vote. One part of the population said, go this way, a slightly smaller part of the population said, go that way.
Now there is a petition to try again. One part will say go this way, the other part will say go that way.
I say, we had a vote. We are obliged to accept the result not matter how poor the outcome.
Suck it up and figure out how you personally will respond to this newly branded Britain.
We have two years to make the changes that will suit us. Says who?
Savvy business leaders called in their key people over the weekend and started their adjustments strategies. The prime minister of New Zealand on Saturday morning said his ministers were already making contacts to increase their trade with the EU. The politicians are in cloud cuckoo land if they think anyone will wait two years while they sort out what will happen next.
Individuals too are moving fast to explore their choices. You are already three days behind the curve if you have not explored your visa options with many countries consider closing their borders to fend off the floods of immigrants arriving from England.
Endangered species following Brexit:
- spokespersons for the Leave vote who have gone to ground, appalled that people took their campaign seriously when they were only warming up for the leadership tussle to replace Davey Boy when he went;
- the Premier League;
- Brexiteers going back on their promises;
- English students offered places in European universities;
- lying politicians;
- French cuisine;
- all young people;
- solicitors who have not yet registered to practice in Ireland and therefore will lose all their EU work;
- MEPs;
- doctors, surgeons and nurses qualified in EU countries;
- the new poor, i.e. earning less than £50k pa;
- house renovators without Polish builders;
- English backpackers blocked from wandering around EU lands;
- Danish pastries;
- Igor the Eastern European gardener who does for her at no. 67;
- English custom officials stationed in Calais;
- German Christmas markets;
- Cornwall, Yorkshire and South Wales as they lose their EU grants without equivalent replacement grant from new UK govt. (‘You must have misheard us when you thought we promised you that,’ said a Leave spokesperson nobody had heard of);
- NHS Trusts waiting for their £350 million a week;
- racists and xenophobes who feel emboldened to ‘come out’ and show their true colours openly. Now we know who you really are and we can deal with you.
Promises
Brexiteers say we have our country back, even though we never lost it.
We will be great again, in some way or other, but this time without a navy and army to take from others what we need to be great.
Our parliament will make our laws, as well as meekly accepting the rules other countries force us to accept if we are to trade with them.
We will control our borders, to stop our key people from fleeing abroad.
We will prosper, if we can find £20 billion from behind the sofa.
We will manage who enters the country, by making them line up in an orderly queue at the many new points of entry established to bring in the huge numbers of key people we need to run the country.
Every other country will be kind to us and meet our demands, because we have never done any bad or nasty things to them in the past.
Net migration will be down, because of the massive rise in the numbers of those escaping for the good life elsewhere.
I say good luck to those who now carry the mandate they convinced the people to give them. Over to you, Blondie Bo and Micky Gove. You have been given what you wished for.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck in keeping your promises and giving the people the prosperity you promised. After all the years they have suffered at the hands of this government, they deserve some benefits and a share of the loot.
Failing to make this country a prosperous, united and tolerant society as you promised will bring down on you the curse of Molly and we will revive the ancient Irish custom of ‘doing Deveraux’ to you.
Please make sure that ‘Inatthedeepend Day’ does not turn into ‘Indeepshit Day’ with its own Bank Holiday on the fourth Friday of June.
