Hardly overwhelming either. Brexiteers crow about that majority as if it was a super majority. It wasn’t. Not by a long mark.
“Remainers” no longer exist, some have become “rejoiners”. Yet others are thinking .... “would we actually want this rather insignificant little country back?”
A proportion of “The Majority” voted due in large part to a huge amount of out and lies and misinformation fed them by vote leave. Any cautions as to what leaving would mean was labeled “project fear”. Interesting I think that “project fear” is becoming reality.
But such is the power of Brexit that even Ministers get caught out telling flat-out lies to try and bolster it .... take Matt Hancock, telling a jingoistic flag waving multitude that because of Brexit, Britain was the first country to approve a vaccine.
Except it wasn’t. Hungary was.
And Britain’s approval was still done under the auspices of EU law (as UK is bound until 31/12) - so bald-faced was that lie that even Boris didn’t back him up on that!!
A vaccine, developed by a German company by two Turkish scientists and produced in Belgium, is somehow hailed as a UK victory? Brexiteers are SO desperate to show that what they voted for means something, they have to try and steal the limelight from those who truly deserve it, and flat-out lie about why they are getting it so quickly?
If that’s your idea of a Britain “taking on the world” blah blah blah you can keep it!! I think I’ll join the ranks of those saying “thank god those boorish oiks have left”
I do feel sorry of course for those whose dream of retiring here is now shattered, and for those who own holiday homes they will see less of, and indeed those now wanting just to come on holiday and find they have to prove they have the financial means to actually stay (90€ per day of holiday) and have to prove an itinerary and an address.
But it’s ok, because they all knew what they were voting for. The Brexiteers keep telling us .... in fact the same people who made all the ummmmm “questionable” claims in support of Brexit in the first place ...
Well. Tis December. Good to see so many Turkeys still looking forward to Christmas
