IS BREXIT A CULT? By Mel Cooper

A REMAINER BEING PERSUADED TO VOTE FOR BORIS

IS BREXIT A CULT? By Mel Cooper  - 26 July 2019 - Oxford, UK

  

For me subscribing to Brexit is like falling for that other cult, Scientology. It’s a pseudo religion and it promises to solve all your problems. It was also set up cynically to generate power and money for L. Ron Hubbard. Does anyone ever question about Boris Johnson or the others what is in it for them? About time someone did.

Like Scientologist and orthodox religious fanatics, Brexiteers also demonise anyone who does not join the cult or who tries to question the cult in any way. The trouble with all Brexit supporters is that they do not question the soundbites. Getting back control? Of what? We have control. We control our money and send 1.5% max of our annual budget to the EU for good and sufficient reasons, that include getting rebates and access to a pot of money that has done far more for farmers in this country, and the infrastructure, and several other institutions, and also medical and other kinds of research, than an economically illiterate Conservative party that was warned ages ago that they were cutting too much and not paying enough attention to borrowing cheap money to kick start various aspects of the economy. We needed a New Deal style FDR leader, not that intellectually challenged David Cameron with his sense of entitlement.

Speaking of which, for me the new Boris-Brexit Cabinet smells very much of trying to reintroduce Feudalism into the world, with themselves as the Feudal Lords. Which makes all the rest of us the peasants that will serve them. And there is no point in trying to talk to the subscribers to the Cult of Brexit because they will not listen any more than the Spanish Inquisition could question its own beliefs that burning people at the stake was good for their souls. They are that far gone!

And I blame Jeremy Corbyn and Seumas Milne and the Labour élite Stalinists just as much. Apart from anything else, does it not occur to Brexiteers and the Labour Party that it is bad for the country that there is no vocal, strong opposition? That no one is really questioning the basic premise that this farrago is really the Will of the People? If you vote for Conservatives you get, guess what, Brexit. Vote for Labour and you are going to get, guess what, Brexit. What a choice!? One day when history looks back on all this they will rate Brexiteers with the anti-Deyfusards and the Fascists. Not the Nazis. So far I cannot see that anyone has genocidal ambitions. But Donald Trump does run concentration camps near the Mexican border and it is all always someone else’s fault and his attack on those four women of colour in the US Congress is racist and he does hold Hitler style rallies, so I am not too sanguine about that. And we have done pretty well with Theresa May’s Hostile Environment and demonizing various groups for all the woes of the UK.

I just met an economist friend in the park while walking the dogs. He is about 35, very bright, and from Brazil originally. His wife is from France. France pays the second largest amount of money into the EU coffers and we pay the third largest. Guess what? France wishes it were paying more because our contribution is based upon our wealth and if we paid more that would mean we are generating more wealth. So why are Brexiteers moaning that the UK pays the third largest amount into the EU? I guess because they are incapable of reasoning.

Meantime, my friend and I are everything that the Conservative current grandees seem to hate. We are immigrants. Imagine, being non-pure British! It’s therefore all our fault. Makes you feel proud to have taken out British citizenship?

Anyway, as a young and thriving economist he cannot believe what the UK is doing to itself and cannot figure out any reason why. And that is more or less what most of the rest of the world that bothers to think at all is also wondering about. Perhaps it is down to this: that we had 45 years of peace and prosperity in the EU and so it was time for the cycle of bigotry and racism and xenophobia to reappear. I agree that the EU has its flaws. But you aren’t going to fix them by abandoning everything about it that is good, sane and working so well for us. And I am getting tired of having to “respect” the biggest act of stupidity this country has perpetrated since it thought it was okay to give Hitler the Sudetenland. I cannot believe this is truly the Will of the People. Eventually there will be blowback. But the sad thing is that everyone else, who can see with clarity what a lot of nonsense this all is, is going to have to suffer too. And it is happening all over the world. It seems to be the Zeitgeist.

So I guess it does have something to do with an ineradicable flaw in human nature that causes us to throw the toys out of the pram like frustrated children every generation of two. And we start by believing in false prophets of a new cult who tell us that Brexit will give us back our sovereignty when, in fact, we have our sovereignty but have merely pooled it. And when we get it back free and clear? We can start diluting it like crazy to satisfy the needs and whims of the USA and other nations with which we will have to do individual trade deals and a small island located just off the shores of a united Europe that has ten times more population to trade with.

Dear John - The fascist JAMES DELINGPOLE  23 Jul 2019, Executive Editor  of Breitbart UK, who wrote the article below, fails to note that The Deep State, less emotively called the Civil Service, here and in Trump’s America, keeps the system running – despite all the faulty, short-term political regimes. Our independent judiciary assures a little justice, some of it outside political influence. The free-press and social-media (at least those not owned by tax-evading offshore and foreign billionaires) ensures independent public knowledge. Trump, Johnson’s mentor, apes Hitler in his attacks on these institutions (Hitler caused 60M deaths, ruined Europe, then committed suicide – Deeply unintelligent behaviour).

 

Johnson is attempting a rugby ruck; a bunch of bullying heavyweights rushing Brexit over the touch-line by October and stampeding and stamping on any who obstruct them. (Like Bullyboy Boris floored the little Japanese child).

 

My first reaction to his new Cabinet (1) Priti Patel, when Foreign Aid minister, was reported to us by Israel for trying (and failing) to do private business – We sacked her. How much will she divert as Foreign Secretary? She likes capital-punishment. Will she hang her critics by the neck? And set up Remainer arrest camps for 18M Remain voters? (2) Sajid Javid has no skills to be Chancellor. Will he try to divert taxpayers’ cash to his Tory pals? 

(3) Cummings is clever and scoffs at rules. His constantly repeated Brexitbig-lies and soundbites worked – with the help of disgraced Cambridge Analytica (now being sued – maybe prison?) and Facebook (biggest fine ever for abusing customers’ data); he is a clever and creative marketing man. But now that he is outed from the shadows into the light – he will be far less effective.

 

Turbulent days (99 days) ahead. I think Boris will run out of puff before he hustles and bumbles Brexit across the line to score.

Subject: drain the uk swamp

Some encouraging news: Boris Johnson has appointed Dominic Cummings as one of his senior advisors.

JAMES DELINGPOLE EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF BREIBART

Cummings is a Marmite figure — loved and loathed in equal measure. But the two key things you need to know about him are these:

1. He was the mastermind of the Vote Leave campaign and was — arguably — the main reason why Brexiteers and not Remainers won the EU referendum.
2. He is a sworn enemy of the Swamp.

As I wrote yesterday, one of the most important challenges facing Boris is the need to take on Britain’s Deep State: the Civil Service and the various quangos — all of which are not only sclerotically inefficient but outrageously left-biased.
I rated Boris’s chances of achieving this at 4/10. But with Cummings’s appointment, the odds have improved quite dramatically.
You can tell the Swamp is getting nervous because already its slimy denizens are briefing against Cummings and vaingloriously boasting about how totally he doesn’t frighten them.
Hmm. Let’s see if they still feel that cocky when Cummings starts wielding his axe.
Britain’s Deep State problem is something to which Cummings has given considerable thought. Five years ago, he outlined his thinking on the subject in a speech to the left-wing think tank the IPPR.
Among the reasons why the Civil Service is so perfectly useless, he argued, is that it rewards failure (almost no one is ever sacked — they’re just shuffled to a different department); it promotes people who want to protect the system and not rock the boat, while weeding out the dissenters and mavericks who might contribute original ideas; it is process-driven, not goal-driven; it’s massively bloated and largely overpaid.
His solutions?
A mass refocussing of goals, not dissimilar to the time when Steve Jobs came back to Apple and ruthlessly pared down the product range.
Reduce the size of every government department by half.
The abolition of the ‘permanent civil service’ – which would mean no more too-powerful-for-their-own-good figures like the late Cabinet Secretary Jeremy Heywood (who effectively ran David Cameron) nor indeed like Mark Sedwill, the similarly overweening anti-Brexit Cabinet Secretary who ran Theresa May.
I’m sure American readers will be cheering on Cummings as much as many British readers will. After all — as we’re being reminded right now by the Mueller hearings — the U.S. has exactly the same Swamp problem we have over here.
And the arrogance of these people! Isn’t it just extraordinary that instead of knuckling under and working with the new Boris Johnson administration, as they’re supposed to — this is the Civil Service’s main job after all: smoothly and efficiently to enact government policy — here they are already boasting about how they’re going to undermine it by “running rings” around Boris’s reformist special advisor.
Still, one of the great things about Cummings is that he is a ruthless operator. I’m sure we can rely on him to show these Swamp creatures the zero mercy they deserve.

WAVICLES FORM DNA AND MATTER?

DNA - electron scanning microscope image.

I am hi-jacking this article by Sally Adee, in New Scientist, 6th July 2019, as I think it hints at clues for one of my long held science-beliefs; that all life-forms and ultimately all matter are formed by persistent and coherent patterns of electro-magnetic energy. It is not a new concept that sub-atomic particles manifest both as particles and as radiating wave-forms - dubbed WAVICLES. It is a well proven fundamental feature of our universe that all matter radiates legible radio signals. Science identifies distant clouds of gases, and the bodies lying beyond them, by analyzing and categorizing the elements causing energetic sources of radio waves. e.g. from active stars, and as these radio signals pass through dust clouds, science analyzes the elements in the dust cloud. Such signals might originate hundreds of light years  away - yet the information remains coherent and legible to our instruments. The universe is crisscrossed by trillions of wavicles. My thought is that the patterns for all matter are inherent in these wavicles - including for example the templates or blue-prints for DNA. All matter can be deconstructed back to electromagnetic waves. This medical research studies electrons - which are waves.

NewScientist 6 July 2019 - By Sally Adee

Can you kill cancer cells by cutting off their electricity supply? That’s the implication of a new look at how cells swap electrons. It could herald devices that assemble inside tumours to switch off their electric current and starve them to death.

Frankie Rawson at the University of Nottingham, UK, and his colleagues have detected subtle changes in the currents emanating from different types of cancer cells. These changes hint at what metabolic changes have happened in the cells  that is characteristic of cancer.

All biological cells use electrons to power themselves. In the early 2000s, however, it was discovered that cells can also send electrons outside their membranes along biological “relays” made of proteins and other molecules. But we didn’t know the significance of this trans-plasma membrane electron transfer (tPMET). “I think we’re only just starting to realise the importance,” says Rawson.

People have long suspected that there is a link between the way cancer cells change their metabolism and changes to the way the cells do this trans-plasma electron transfer.

Normal cells produce almost all of their energy in their internal “power stations”. But mitochondria can’t power the aggressive demands of a rapidly dividing cancer cell, so cancer cells dial down their mitochondria, and ramp up a metabolic pathway known as glycolysis, which converts sugar into energy.

Reducing the output from the mitochondria creates a problem, because free electrons build up inside the cell, clogging up the glycolysis process. To keep from starving, the cancer cells eject those extra electrons using tPMET.

“tPMET is like a safety valve,” says Patries Herst at the University of Otago, New Zealand. Indeed, the more invasive and aggressive a cancer, the more heavily it relies on glycolysis and then tPMET to get rid of the electrons. There are several different types of tPMET with different functions, however, which has made it hard to study how they are involved in tumour growth. “There have been a lot of good investigations,” says Lars Jeuken at the University of Leeds, UK, “but no one had ever figured out how to directly measure the electron current.”

Rawson’s team suspected that the strength of these electron currents could reveal when a cell had turned cancerous.

“If there is a lot of voltage going through a cell’s membrane,” says Herst, “then that means they are using this system a lot, which could have implications for the level of aggressiveness and invasiveness of the cancer.”

Rawson and his colleagues looked at the strength of the electrical current for three different lung cancer cell lines, and it showed clear differences, allowing them tell which cancer cells were metastatic, or capable of spreading, and which were still non-invasive.

As the team suspected, when they engineered the cells to reduce the number of tPMET relays, their mitochondria were no longer able to produce enough energy and became overtaxed. But a surprise was in store: instead of the expected slowdown in electron transmission, they saw a “marked increase” in current, Rawson says, as the cells used any remaining tPMETs to fling out as many electrons as possible.

“This was a major, major finding for us,” says Rawson. “Because if you can inhibit that external electron transfer, the cells have limited ways to sustain energy, so they’ll either be unable to proliferate, or they’ll die.”

It also raises another possibility: if we could inhibit the electron transfer, we could starve cancer cells. No drugs are available that can interfere with tPMET, but the new research suggests that we could do it another way. 

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2208106-we-could-kill-cancer-cells-by-hijacking-their-odd-electrical-current/

Paola Sanjuan-Alberte, also at the University of Nottingham, and Rawson have been working on self-assembling nano-electrodes that could interface with cancerous cells to tweak their electrical signalling. These devices apply an electrical field to prevent a cell’s relays from shedding the electrons.

However, Herst and Jeuken both caution that more studies need to be done to gain a deeper understanding of the role this electron transfer plays in normal and in healthy cells.

BRITONS NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SHALL BE SLAVES.

ANN WIDDECOMBE EXCELLED IN "STRICTLY COME DANCING"

BREXIT: SLAVES AND TOTALITARIAN THINKING

By Mel Cooper, Oxford, UK – 8^th July 2019

Jacob Rees-Mogg Defends Ann Widdecombe Over EU Slavery ... - LBC

https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/.../jacob-rees-mogg-defends-ann-widdecombe-eu-slavery/

22 hours ago - Jacob Rees-Mogg has defended Ann Widdecombe's comparison of membership of the EU with slavery. In her maiden speech to the European Parliament, the Brexit Party MEP said: "There is a pattern consistent throughout history of oppressed people turning on their oppressors, slaves – 4^th July 2019.

Well, now, so Ann Widdecombe has spoken! Clearly, she understands history better than I do, as she draws a convinced parallel between Brexit and slaves throwing off their chains and defying their masters.

FARAGE & WIDDECOMBE AT THE EU.

For the parallel to work, she must have done some very serious historical research and discovered what hardly anyone has ever noticed before: that every plantation in the southern United States where slaves were held clearly had a committee or tiny local parliament or zemstvo of some sort in which the slaves had representation and could debate their future. Clearly a slave like Spartacus must have had a veto! Clearly, when they wanted him to go into battle with another gladiator, he had the option of discussing it first and then saying no. And when the masters wanted to get the slaves to use their scrip instead of their own, they could refuse. Can’t you see all the vivid parallels between Britain being in the EU and slavery? Unfortunately, just as with Britain and the EU, I suppose that the poor slaves too didn’t have control of their money to the tune of having to pay around 1% or so of their annual worth in trade and work to the wicked slave holders in exchange for their privileges. I wonder if they had a rebate or access to the common slaveholders’ pot for fixing their roads and their hovels? Or subsidising their farm work? (Tote that barge, lift that bale!) I bet old time slaves too in places like Egypt as well as Mississippi had to write most of the laws and rules under which they lived because they were better able to do it. And clearly, since they were able to throw away the relationship with the slave holders, they must have had their sovereignty.

In other words, the parallel does not hold water. But what it does do is highlight even more clearly than the false premises that we are going to get back control of our money, our laws, our sovereignty and our borders (we have all four, actually! And it is easy to demonstrate but no one much wants to listen, not even Remainers!) that, indeed, Brexiteers like Anne Widdecombe are simply delusional. They live in a world of fantasy, looking backwards only, bigotry, xenophobia and immense narrowness of vision. Like her cohorts, Ann is blinkered, tribal and believes in the factitious. She probably even thinks, along with Donald Trump, that it was the American air force that won the battles of the American Revolution just as the UK air force alone defeated the Luftwaffe. (Help from all the Commonwealth nations from the start, help from Free French and Poles, help from the USA, does not count! We know how to stand alone!)

But I bet you that the 17.2 million Brexiters are not going to stop and question what Ann Widdecombe has just declared, just because it is demonstrably nonsense. That is what they voted for! They are a group of true rebels throwing off the yoke of the EU and winning back their sovereignty and possibly even the Empire – largely so that they can give it away in trade deals with the likes of Donald Trump; and also so that people like Jacob Rees-Mogg and his ilk will be able to go on evading their national taxes, moving businesses off shore and having much more success in exploiting the workers once the pesky EU labour laws (that we lobbied for, voted for and mostly wrote) are no longer a problem to them. They will be able to have much better control over the very workers that Labour Leader, Jeremy Corbyn, and Union Boss, Len McCluskey, wish to help in exactly the same way as Ann Widdecombe - by throwing off the yoke of the EU which is a dastardly bastion of Capitalism. You remember Len? He’s the one who threw the 2010 Labour leadership election to Ed instead of David Miliband and therefore helped start us on the road to where we are now.

So where is David Cameron? Why is Theresa May, now that she no longer has nothing to lose, not explaining to the people that it may be the Will of the People to leave the EU (it isn’t, but that is another story) somehow or other, leave we must, but that if we implement this will of the people we will be a much poorer country not only economically but also, and here is the rub, morally?

We used to punch way above our weight for 45 years as a member of the EU. We did actually draft most of the laws. We did have a strong voice in the debates. We were admired and respected as a land of tolerance and colourful, creative eccentricity. We are throwing all that away. We are mortgaging the futures of our young and we are doing the exact opposite of what the Brexit campaign claimed: we are turning our backs on Europe and we are creating borders to guard zealously. Ask Theresa May. Not the Hostile Environment. That is what you voted for, Brexiteers!

We are only opening ourselves up to the rest of the world insofar as we will be forced to seek workers for the NHS, catering and other industries by giving visas for trade deals all around the globe. David Cameron has handed the running of this country to the most egregious elements of the Conservative Party. And Jeremy Corbyn and his just-as-egregious, extreme-left, Momentum allies seem to be uninterested in or incapable of any suitable opposition.

People are claiming that Labour must now come out in favour of another referendum and Remain. A lot of good that will do! As much good as it did last time when Jeremy Corbyn said that if you held a gun to his head he supposed he would have to vote 7 out of 10 for staying in the EU. He failed the equivalent of the 11 Plus with that one.

No, no, Jeremy: the answer was ten out of ten for staying in the EU and then ten out of ten for fixing the elements that are needing tweaking. But they only need tweaking, Jeremy. The EU has given us 45 years of peace and prosperity, access to one of the largest free trade unions in the world, access to a common money pot from which to fund roads, schools, hospitals, special projects and scientific and medical research. It has given our kids the ability to travel and study freely within the EU and build bridges across Europe. It has given us a long list of benefits. But, hey, the Will of the People is to listen to a lot of nonsensical propaganda without questioning a word of it. I am sympathetic that they are angry at Austerity and feel left out. But after three years, if they have not yet figured out that Brexit is an essentially authoritarian, indeed totalitarian, project; that it is kicking the poor cat because they will not face what the real source of their problems is; then they are going to deserve everything that comes of this unpredictable act of self harm. Unfortunately, the rest of us are going to have to live with it too. Project Fear was actually Project Reality Check!

But you cannot question the referendum result on the basis of its having been a fire sale of lies and half-truths and false premises! Because this is not a business deal and it is not an election where there are rules about misrepresentation that can lead to law-suits. However, given that referenda are supposed to be advisory only and that this is a Parliamentary democracy, it seems you cannot admit that the result was lousy advice either. So we are caught in a No-Win situation. Because when we leave the EU, with or without a deal, we will be poorer in many ways, and not just financially.

And what irritates me more than anything? For all this time I have felt as much a citizen of Europe as of Britain and now they are taking away my European rights and citizenship. And that makes them the masters and me and all Remainers a slave to a small but tyrannical majority; to an act that has about it all the intelligence and moral rectitude of Neville Chamberlain when he crumbled without even consulting with the Czechs properly and gave the Sudetenland to Hitler. And here we go again! We have actually voted for the slavery that we had avoided within the EU.

I hate to think what history is going to make of David Cameron, Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn, the Brexit Brigade and the Eurosceptics in about ten or fifteen years but I can sure hazard a guess.

 Mel Cooper, Oxford, UK 8 July 2019

UPDATE 17th July 2019:

Those who want to leave the EU have the intelligence and moral stupidity of someone like Ann Widdecombe. There is nothing we can do to make them see. There is no one who can suggest that maybe we should be thinking NOT about what the EU can or cannot do for us, but what we can do for Europe by being ion it and pulling our weight. The tail is wagging the dog; the immoral nitwits have taken over the country as well as the Conservative and Labour parties. It is the zeitgeist and everyone is going to have to live through it, at this rate. The rhetoric has become NO DEAL or T MAY’s DEAL or something like that. No one is really pushing for cancel Brexit or revoke Article 50. The whole thing is beyond stupid. To leave the EU totally is to launch ourselves into outer space with no anchor holding us onto the space ship. To leave the EU in part is indeed to become a rule taker and also probably a colony of the USA (quite a lot of ironic Karma in that?). So why are we doing this! If it is the Will of the People then the people need to be made to feel ashamed of themselves, perhaps. Or there needs to be a better, more positive vision of what is going on in the world and how we need to take a different stance from the destructive, unprincipled belief that somehow we should abandon our neighbours. The irony is that a nation that is so proud of having withstood the Nazis is, in fact, now co-operating with putting us on the first rungs of the ladder to Totalitarian thinking and Fascist ideology. But I guess that every so often we need to shake things up and destroy as much as we can before having to rebuild. The Middle East and Iran, trade wars, climate change: none of this is as satisfying to confront or fix as first having behaved like children and knocked down all the things we have laboriously built up so that we can have the delight of struggling to rebuild it all once more. At the moment, England needs a good shrink! Not Scotland, not Northern Ireland and not even Wales any more. it is all an English project and history is going to be very unkind to David Cameron, T May, J Corbyn, B Johnson and all the other Brexit Blockheads. They are wicked people; and a small majority of people 3 years ago bought into their outrageous, lying propaganda and false premises. But I would not count on a new vote changing a damned thing because there is no one informing the public in a way that makes people stop and think: yes, that is right.

And from the latest evidence, I would say that the Labour Party is being run by a group of Stalinists who have Jeremy, Weak-mind, Corbyn under their thumb. Perhaps the thing is that he is so stupid that he just believes it when people tell him things? Or he can only act on what he has heard last? Because he sure has no convictions or vision of his own beyond his Leninist beliefs. He has not even noticed that the USSR is gone and did not really work in the first place. “I have seen the future, and it is a load of crap!” And yes, I think that by now the Labour Party is institutionally anti-Semitic. Jeremy thinks he is anti-Zionist without even knowing a thing about Zionism. He has not visited Israel. He has not been to Yad Vashem. Why? Seumas Milne would never let him! He might be shocked into removing this blinkers!

I don’t feel like stopping my railing against Brexit, but I don’t think it will do a damned bit of good. Britain is in the grip of exactly the same kind of no-win approach to politics and the real problems of this country that the Germans and Italians had in the 1930s. - Mel Cooper.

YES - I agree that we are in the grip of a fascist revival. Maybe the world has to suffer a political and economic breakdown, due to primitive forces, before sanity and intelligent cooperation emerge. Some transborder issues need world-government. What chance of that in our lifetimes? - Noel

23 July 2019 - As Boris Johnson threatens to be our Prime-Minister, Mel Cooper writes:

I worry about our coming out of the EU at any level, let alone crashing out. Any deal is worse than the deal we have now so why are we choosing to be a poorer country? Because a bunch of fools buy the propaganda that somehow was are going to suddenly be free, our own bosses, not beholden to the EU, not having our rules made by the rest of Europe. All of which is based on false premises. 

We have our sovereignty. The fact that we can choose to leave the EU proves it. We have a veto under our current deal. We are members of the parliament of Europe and we debate and decide things there. 

ALL that the Brexiteers are complaining about in the UK, is not an issue caused by the EU. This particularly includes "Austerity", which these under-informed idiots think somehow comes from the EU. So we are going to trade with the rest of the world under WTO rules? I have been hearing about the flaws of relying on WTO rules for about a year at least and after looking into it, I am more alarmed than ever. Increasingly I think there is no point talking to Brexiteers however; or telling them that if we exit we will be in for a decade at least of making 120 new trade deals, just to get back to where we are now. 

The Brexiteers  either have hidden personal motives (especially Boris the Johnson or Jacob Rees=Smugg) or are made downright stupid by their arrogance and British xenophobia. But the real question is: how do you rally the Remainers to stop this crap nonsense? Those opposed to Brexit seem incapable of uniting, creating a voice that is clear, intelligent and inspiring. 

And how do you get people to see that the whole, so-called, Opposition led by Jeremy Corbyn and his whole cabal, are dangerous Left wing Authoritarians with the economic understanding of Stalinists in the 1930s. They have seen what they think is the future and they think it works despite all the evidence from most of the 20th century to the contrary, not least the collapse of the Soviet Union and the return of Russia to choosing to be run by some form of Tsar. 

Ah, what a world we live in! Turns out that the Baby Boomers had all the luck to be born when they were. Climate Change Chaos, here we come. And Britain being a third world country with a huge and stupid bigotry at its core that is almost as bad as the one that Donald Trump is giving encouragement to in the USA. Indeed, if we crash out of the EU or leave it in any form at all, will there still be a Britain in ten years? Scotland and Northern Ireland will have every reason to leave. Brexit is a project of English arrogance and delusion. But hey, we voted for it. And we have not even begun to understand or discuss the moral issues involved in betraying our continental neighbours.
