The rise of the dumb has begun.
Do you have faith in any politician? You are not seriously telling me that you hold the likes of Clinton, Trump, Obama, Hollande, Merkel, Corbyn et all all in high-esteem? Again, I guess I was happy with the result and I had my chance to vote, but I didn't because I sit on the fence when it comes to politicians. In fact, they are like Union leaders; they make it look as though they are helping, but in the end, they line their own pockets before anyone elses. So yeah, a politician for me is a bit like priests; all fucking liars and bent as a 9-bob note.
I never mentioned politicians, I said experts, those were the economic experts and indeed the experts in every other aspect of the situation, who were soundly ignored by people whose opinions seemed to trump fact, like creationists who think their faith is equal to science.
It was a testament to the rise of the anti ,the stupid, the ill informed the blow hards and the dumb.
Brexit will be a disaster there is no other possible outcome.
Already the pound is weakened and the racists took it as a sign that its ok to be racist and so far nothing has really happened Article 5o has not been triggered.
Britain is in a place where it has to renegotiate with every nation in the world with no qualified negotiators and where we have nothing to offer. The banks are saying they will pull out to better trade with the EU as has Japanese manufacturing the US has said Britain will come last at negotiations as has Australia. Manufacturing will briefly pick up as the pound weakens and our goods seem cheap.
Shame the tories destroyed our manufacturing industry to break the unions.
So as a nation we are doomed to a lesser role in the world.
Forever.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
