The Wreckers

You know who the wreckers were. They would stand on coastlines during storms, luring ships to disaster by displaying false lights. They didn’t care how many sailors drowned: they were solely interested in the loot. Sometimes when sailors managed to get to shore without drowning, the wreckers would stove in their skulls, just to make sure there were no witnesses.

We have a new band of wreckers right now: the “no-dealers”, the hard Brexiteers. They don’t care how much damage they do to our country: they just want the loot, in this case power, power to have the sort of Britain they want: free of taxes, free of environmental controls, free of that irritating European Court of Justice.

You know who they are: IDS, Owen Paterson, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Bill Cash, there are about 40 in all, but they are very powerful. But not powerful enough, they reckon. Oh yes, there’s Boris, of course, but he’s kind of in a class of his own. Remain, leave, he doesn’t really care either way; he just wants so desperately to climb to the top of the greasy pole, and now he’s even joined forces with former arch-enemy Michael Gove, the very man who tried to stab him in the back a few short months ago. They think they can do a Blair/Brown thing if they play their cards right. They sense Theresa’s weakness, and like a pack of wolves they are waiting for right time to pounce and rip her heart out.

In my opinion there shouldn’t have been a referendum in the first place, and I blame David Cameron for giving in to the wreckers and holding one. Right now I think the public, hopefully better informed this time, should be given a second chance to vote on whatever deal, or no deal, the government comes up with in March 2019. This time, perhaps, it won’t be “Christmas for racists” as Frankie Boyle so eloquently dubbed the first referendum, but a discussion about economic realities. If we just allow the politicians to have their way, we’re heading to becoming the poor man of Europe, where it will only be fun to live here if you’re rich.
STOP THEM! STOP THEM BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
