Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostIt also gives a good opportunity for the financial class (e.g. Rees-Mogg) to profit from the chaos, and then the UK can rebuild around a low wage, low rights, low tax, poor public service model. Corbyn will be looking particularly silly at that point.
Sadly I think the new elite will prove to be more nefarious and rapacious than the old when it comes to exploiting the working class.Hard Brexit now!

Of course, I had no idea quite how spectacularly the UK would screw this up. I am starting to think that nobody, even maybe Farage, really expected Brexit, and they all much preferred their virtue-signalling victim status within the EU. A bit like how the Labour left is always more comfortable in opposition.Comment

Did you see BoJo's and Gove's faces the morning after the referendum?
Like they'd swallowed a wasp.
Neither of them were/are stupid enough to think this was a good idea, but they're committed now and so have to double-down.
Liam Fox, on the other hand, really is stupid enough to believe that the UK's pie-in-the sky trade deals might compensate for EU trade.Last edited by sasguru; 14 August 2017, 13:39.Hard Brexit now!
