To every problem there is a solution. Except the ones that can’t be solved. Then you need something of an ‘accommodation’, a compromise. An agreement. Nice.
Then came Brexit. And re-wrote the entire definition of a ‘problem’. And there are two in particular that are big.
The first is (fucking) Ireland. The border between north and south MUST remain open. Otherwise violence will erupt. Again. Which will please Corbyn but anyone decent will be appalled and horrified. So the border MUST stay open, in accordance with the Good Friday agreement.
There MUST be a border between an independent UK and the EU, of which Ireland (the south, independent, Republic of, bit) is a member and Northern Ireland won’t be when/if we leave.
So how can a border also not be a border at the same time? Answers on a postcard to: T.May, 10 Downing Street, SW1…
The other problem is a bit more complex but was fantastically illuminated by 2 of the audience on last night’s Question Time, who Fiona Bruce, bless her saintly soul, told to argue it out. Fuck the panel; they’re just politicians and thus all have various agendas and have thus far proved totally not up to the task. And argue these guys did. One stating that we were all so misled by the initial bout of Brexit bollox, so lied to by Boris and Farage (collectively known as ‘the horns of the devil’) that we should have a re-vote. A more informed, enlightened population voting once more. None of the 350 million pounds a week for the NHS!!!! type crap, no ‘project fear’.
The respondent shouted loudly (all Brexiteers shout) that the vote was enacted, the decision made and government must sort it out. Why would they listen to a second vote if they’re prepared to ignore the first?
Both are right. I’d love a ‘second vote’ but feel really uncomfortable about how horrendously undemocratic it would be.
Cameron’s Curse lives on. Probably now for much longer. Oh joy. Another fucking year of Brexit. SHOOT ME NOW; MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!!
Happy Friday
