One of the things people often say about British people as a
snide comment is that we’re “very good at divide and conquer”. A dig at the old days of the Empire. Well, looking at Parliament today locked in
its endless squabbles over Brexit one has to say the current batch of elected
potenates are no Philip II of Macedon.
The cat that is the true costs and complexity of Brexit having escaped
the bag Boris and Co concealed it in before the Referendum those at the top are
caught between the devil and the deep blue sea every way they don’t jump. Ms May flits about Europe negotiating with
every country independently because we’re in too big a sulk to have anything to
do with the European Parliament and then says only she has the magical power of
forceful negotiation. Corbyn and Co say
that only they have the magic answer.
The Unionists are in a terrible rage that they’ve been sold down the
river. Without getting in to the
mechanics of the backstop it was surely obvious to the meanest intelligence that
if Europe and the UK
separated politically then that would have serious implications for the Good
Friday Agreement. The SNP just say
endlessly that they want to leave us for the EU. And I’m sure the Liberal Democrats would be
doing something stupid too if there were enough for anyone to listen to
them. Faced with the gravest political
crisis in decades the complete inability of any of the main or even minor
parties to work together on a solution is truly depressing. Everyone is simply out to make as much cheap
short term capital as possible.
Threatening general elections, leadership elections, 2nd referendums
(and possibly 3rd or 4th) … Brexit rolls on endlessly to
the cliff edge of dropping out on WTO rules with the unstoppable momentum that
can only come from a plebiscite cutting the brakes. The pound has already thrown its self over
the edge of the cliff like a Lemming. And
finally Ms May has pulled the vote she knows she would’ve lost. Well, Turkeys
don’t vote for Christmas and this Christmas no one wanted to vote for the “deal”
that was a Turkey. How the EU officials must laugh and laugh and laugh at the childish Brexit blame game. What these politicians don't realise is if they mess this up history will never forgive them. Not that that matters if you have no shame.
