Interesting article by Trevor Kavanagh in that it's written in such a juvenile style. It could have been written by a none too bright fourteen year old. Maybe it's just the standard on PB is so high?
At the risk of annoying people like Leon, it's written for 14-year olds because that's the approximate intelligence of a lot of people who were suckered into voting for Brexit (Sun readers).
It was the stupidest decision in the history of the UK, which a significant majority of the country, including those who voted for it, now recognise. And Boris Johnson, who never believed in Brexit and is European through-and-through, jumped on the bandwagon at the very last minute purely for political expediency.
I agree that it's the stupidest decision in the recent history of the UK and why 'Remoaners' will never let it go.
To be anchored to the most diverse and culturally interesting continent in the world was a daily delight. To have the same relationship to Paris Florence and Athens as we have to any provincial town in the UK was magical.
To have had the freedom to work and live in Venice as easily as Harlepool and to throw it away makes many of us feel physically sick.
And for what? So that we could facilitate Boris Johnson's rise to PM? So Jacob Rees Mogg could be a big fish in a smaller pond? So some East Coast town didn't have to hear people talking foreign languages.....
Absolutely!
I don't think even the most vocal Remainers thought the EU was anything other than unwieldy and incompetent, verging in some instances on the corrupt, but the trade off we gained from being able to live and work unfettered, from the Southern tip of Sicily to the Arctic Circle and most points in between, was worth it. And of course if we were sick whilst we were there, we would be cared for by our European friends, because we were part of the club.
And the very same people pointing the finger at EU wastage and fraud are defending PPE contracts and parties.
I suppose leaving the EU got us the inch-perfect Boris Johnson premiership we all craved (an 80 seat majority doesn't lie) which made it all worthwhile... for Boris Johnson.
