I don't like to agree with VNA but I agree on his last post. The whole British people have lost democracy, parliament was given an instruction by the people, whether it was the right instruction is open to debate what ever happens whether we stay in or leave we will only ever be able to speculate what might have been if we had gone the other way. Parliament has chosen to ignore the will of the people they are supposed to represent and engineer a way to get what they want in stead of preparing the country to carry out the will of the people. Our last civil war was between the people and a dictator king, lets hope the next one is not between Parliament and the people.
I totally disagree with you Steve.
We have an economy that should be fully recovered from the financial crises of ten years ago, an economy that should right now be in rude health, but the signs are that the UK is heading for recession, and that is no matter what happens today or at the end of the day with BREXIT. BREXIT has strangled our economy, it’s also sucked all the political energy out of this country. There are major issues that need to be addressed, first and foremost our economy which is stalling, austerity, pay and conditions, our NHS, our tax regime etc etc. None of these issues is getting the attention they deserve because of BREXIT. That is what I mean when I say we are all losers in this.
Aside from this being a situation that should never have been allowed to occur, and that frankly few were particularly interested in a few years ago, well as the referendum did take place and considering the results – well whose mess is this?
This as I stated clearly in my post #1520 is Theresa May’s mess. She’s behaved as if she alone should decide, literally tried to dictate and as a result has lost the house.
So, thank goodness that democracy appears to be alive and well at Westminster. Or, at least we will find out today. Parliament needs to vote this wretched deal down and take back control.
