And so, Dear Colleagues,
Our weather-hardened, political storm trooper of a Prime Minister, her
voice cracking like a bag of crisps at the cinema, her eyes with bags
underneath as big as suitcases, attacked by the hoodlums with cudgels in
Parliament who await her return to the fray, with more arcane tools with
which to get her into submission, or with which, I dare say to w beat
her some more, just for the fun of it...is now talking to the EU
negotiators once again. They, the staunch, single minded and victorious
bureaucrats are now viewing the great plan which they made with the UK
P.M. all starting to unravel, before their very eyes. That's the trouble
with taking away a nation's sovereignty. We should never have given it
up, sold out by the establishment once again...and see where it has
gotten us. Woof Woof goes the good old British Bulldog.
The Blame Game.
Of course it is us to blame. If it hadn't been for these simple minded
Brexiteers, convincing people to vote leave in the referendum, conning
the people with their balderdash there wouldn't be a problem. If only
we had believed the remainers with their lies, deceits and extravagances
and outlandish claims...all in the name of truth. We would never have
got here.
Personally, I think that Theresa May has done extremely well. It is
true that she got the result of her snap general election wrong. She
thought that as we were all becoming Brexiteers, we were somehow
becoming more right wing and Conservative, and that social welfare and
the NHS cuts didn't really matter. That was a big mistake, losing her
her majority, and making her depend on a rump of so called Democratic
Unionist Party M.P.s from Northern Ireland, whose electorate are
overwhelmingly remainers whilst they are selling their souls for her
Brexit Deal. But apart from that, pretending to be a Brexiteer when one
really is a Remainer is a very hard role to play, one has to be a really
good actress, and one always sensed that her heart really wasn't in it,
and the trouble is she gets caught up by her past performances,
particularly in regard to her treatment of immigrants and immigration.
Dressing up a backstop as if it was a piece of enforceable international
law, wasn't quite as successful as she supposed it would Parliament
taking the legal advice into its own hands and making it public
scuttled that little bit of dream worship.
Yet the funny thing is, it is easy to leave the EU, we just leave on
March 29th at 11.p.m., lock, stock and barrel...no ifs...no buts.
After that we negotiate new agreements with the EU as a sovereign
state. We make temporary arrangements, to continue trading and business
as we were and then draw up agreements which are mutually satisfying and
beneficial to both entities. After all, it took years after the UK
agreed to join the European Community to make those arrangements, yet
we all got by perfectly well. All this disaster stuff from the
remainers is a load of old poppycock in my view. Of course there are
going to be disturbances, of course there are going to be costs, we had
the same problem aligning ourselves with the EU regulations, but I am
sure it will all come out in the wash.
The latest tool which has been brought to bear by those who want a
referendum...is the petition. According to a statute passed in recent
years, if the people get a petition up to approach Parliament and they
get over 100,000 people signing it, then the government has to make time
to discuss it. There is now close to a million signatures on it, and it
looks like there is going to be a few million more. The people have
been visiting the website in huge crowds, so much so, that the website
crashed. The government can't get anything right. There might even be a
populist revolution occurring in the European Parliament, throwing out
the old and bringing in the new. Now there would be a fine thing...:-)
Ah! Well! Another day at the office. Good job I have Ubuntu to play
around with, don't know what I'd do with my time...
Still, who am I but another one of those simpletons who never knows what
he is talking about.

Dougie.
P.S. A little bit of history. It is interesting to note that every
referendum held in the European Union, from Greece to Eire has never
been respected and that the EU bureaucracy has by hook or by crook
forced another one on the people, until eventually, the referendum swung
in their favour.
