Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh dear. It's the way you tell 'em.
Moving on, I want my country back. Pre-Brexit referendum, without the open, rampant xenophobia & racism (Daily Mail, Express & Sun excepted, obviously), without the ridiculous fear & hostility.
It's his talent... Different folks, different strokes.
I also want the old country back as it was, pretty much; it sickens me to watch pro-Remain political people now espouse and attempt to glorify and talk up the new direction against which they had so passionately (some) warned: it simply tuns them into risible hypocrits. But, truth to tell, who really expected better? I never voted Labur in my lfe, but I have to respect the courage of those who resigned and refused the whips. Good on them; I wish more on the right had some balls too.
But beyond that, I fear that it was probably inevitable. Whether within the ranks of the great unwashed or even in those of the retired 'n' comfortable, thank you, there has always been this notion of the Brits being, somehow, of better stock. Sharing blood across both the UK and Europe, I see the madness in the minds of some of the islanders as I do in those of similarly disposed mainland dwellers. I think the problem is that it's just too easy to retreat within the nest and see all outside as threat. I guess that's Trump's trump card, too.
What a shame that the young and the mid-aged have been robbed of so many opportunities that they had as
rights, that they could simply get up and go somewhere else without having to ask first, have to have a job waiting to which to go, et-awkward-cetera. Oh! it was a two-way deal, wasn't it? Can't have that - unfair! Might also benefit the better-educated on all sides - doubly unfair!
