So tell me if I have this wrong:
I voted to leave the EU in 2016 because (foolishly or not, that remains to be seen) I was told that leaving the EU would be simple, and I believed it. We were told that we would get a trade deal without any difficulties, we would save £39 Billion and we would all benefit. I think the phrase, we would hardly notice any trading difference with the EU, but huge new markets would open up elsewhere, was used quite frequently. It sounded great.
Today I’m hearing the government is pumping Six Thousand million pounds into limiting the damage that Brexit will cause. Hang on, who voted to embark on a course of action that would require six thousand million pounds, just to put a bandage on the injury? The six thousand million pounds doesn’t heal the wounds inflicted by Brexit, it’s just gives a bit of relief, a bit like a paracetamol. The damage and the injury still remains.
After years of austerity, years of cuts to police, ambulances, doctors, nurses, libraries and just about every public service, we are splashing six thousand million pounds to limit the damage that a government policy, which no one voted for, will cause.
This isn’t project fear, this is happening right now. it’s real. How many people would have voted to leave if the bus had said, “We will need to spend six thousand million pounds of your money to limit the damage caused by a leave vote” instead of the NHS lie?
No one voted for this damage, this course of action or this futile and needless expenditure. Can’t people see where this is heading? What needs to happen before people start to think, this isn’t what I wanted?
