Three and a half million people sign the petition for a rerun – that’s a lot of anger and frustration.
The Prime Minister resigns
The Opposition Leader is on the way out
The pound has dived
The stock markets have dived
Companies are planning to leave
Our credit rating is dropping
Brexit MPs are already going back on promises
Half the country is gleeful and gloating
Half are furious and frustrated
Europe want us out as quickly as possible
There is a promised hard-line on trade agreements from the EU to dissuade other countries from following suit
There is a hard-nosed visit from the USA to look at trade
Scotland is looking to veto the result and stop us going out
Scotland and Ireland are both demanding a referendum with the break-up of the UK
The exchange rate is already affecting prices – petrol is going up and the rest will follow.
There will be two to three years of turmoil fuelling decline in the economy
Our credit rating is going down
Boris has become a hate figure for half the country
We will have a new more right-wing government with austerity, cuts, privatisation and decimation of public services
The country is divided like never before
What an absolute mess.
So what is a way out of all this?
I would suggest:
- We hold off starting the process until we are more sorted
- The Tories and Labour have their Leadership processes
- We hold a general election
- The parties ask for a mandate to proceed with Brexit or to renegotiate with the EU
- We need a Prime Minister who is not tainted and can try to heal the rift that is so raw
- Perhaps Boris could then apologise for all his lies and false reassurances. Project Fear – as he so eloquently dubbed it is fast becoming Project Fact.
- I would like to see us back in the EU negotiating to sort out the problems rather than languishing under a Tory government with severe economic problems in an isolated corner.
