I wish that we could hear the voice of a pro "outer" here. I'd seriously welcome another perspective, assuming that they'd lift the gloom. I (we) might be missing something. Can't think what - but I'm open to suggestions.
Especially one who supported it from a leftist perspective. Actually, how *is* Lexit going??
It just so happens that a regular contributor to a cricket blog I frequent suddenly decided to treat us all to his Lexit arguments earlier today.
I voted for it, and stand by that decision. I could go into great detail why and back it up. Personally I think the British establishmemt is stitching up those people who wanted to get out. They have no intention of leaving. We are a poodle to Washington and they don’t want us out. So they are playing for time, and creating a giant vacuum in which uncertainty has flooded in. I fully suspect that Mrs May will chicken out, and claim that we can’t leave. Those of us who hate the European Union will have to then rely on France or Denmark or Holland to bring down the whole rotten stinking pile of elitist shite that is the EU. The last time I looked there are over 200 countries in the world, with over 190 at the United Nations. Only 28 of them are in Europe. Countries like New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Iceland, Switzerland all seem to manage fine outside the EU. The idea Britian can’t is bollocks.
My reaction was rather like that of Bud White (Russell Crowe) listening to the Night Owl patsies talk about women in LA Confidential. Except I stopped short of violence.
So I'll pass on hearing any more, thanks.
