Who elects these idiots...
From both the front and back benches the hard right has taken control of Brexit and I for the life of me have real trouble trying to understand in a moderate country like the UK how these ideologues got a seat in Parliament in the first place.
‘’Abolish the EU in favour of ultra-minimal arrangements under the Council of Europe to guarantee free trade and peace.’’ Steve Baker
Interpretation: ‘We no longer want a seat at the table so the best possible plan would be to demolish the table.’ He wants the easiest negotiations possible and has the arrogance to suggest the EU shuts down for that reason. Plonker.
"We can enter into free trade agreement talks with the European Union as soon as we leave on No Deal and we can have ten years with tariff-free trade while we negotiate that deal - nothing would change." Andrew Bridgen
Interpretation: ‘I make shit up as I have no idea what a post no deal Brexit would be like.’ He really does not care how things will change or how bad they will get, as long as we leave. Period. Imbecile
‘’Brexit is a remarkably simple concept, it is binary: we are either a member of the EU or we are not. It’s rather like being pregnant. You can’t be a little bit pregnant, there is no hard or soft pregnant, you are either pregnant or you’re not.’’ James Cleverly
Interpretation: ‘I obviously have no idea about the complexity of leaving the EU, or being pregnant, but it seems like an analogy that the electorate will understand’ Of course neither of which are like the other but both can be very hard indeed. Idiot.
“On the morning of the first of November, the sun will rise on a free country. I intend to stay up to see it happen.” Mark Francois
Interpretation: ‘I am the king of hyperbole and have spent a long time creating the illusion that the UK was not free when they were part of the EU, got to keep it up until the bitter end’. He really believes that this is so called freedom beats everything and does not care about the economic vulnerability of poorer communities. He will literally tell them not to worry about food or heating ‘cause they are ‘free’. Dimwit.
“So we are getting ready to come out on October the 31st. Come what may . . . Do or die. Come what may.” Boris Johnson
Interpretation: ‘I know that my tenure as PM will be brief if I do not deliver Brexit, so fuck the consequences, it is all about me.’ He knows this is economic suicide, but he is privileged and will escape the upcoming turmoil. Destroyer.
“Boris Johnson’s unequivocal message that the Withdrawal Agreement is ‘dead’ is good news for the UK’s farmers.’’ Owen Paterson
Interpretation: ‘I know bugger all about farming but the fact that the free market and therefore most of their market will disappear can never be as important as leaving the EU.’ The farming community is screwed under a no deal Brexit and they really do not care. Ignoramus.
“I think there will be some short term disruption, certainly. But actually, these are the sorts of things which will need to be sorted out as a third country reaching an agreement with the European Union.’’ John Whittingdale
Interpretation: ‘Of course there will be disruption but I don’t care. Citizens suffering is not as important as leaving the EU with no deal.’ They think the short-term disruption could last 2 decades… short term my arse. Moron.
‘’We are making it clear there’s a deal to be done, but the EU needs to move.’’ Dominic Raab
Interpretation: ‘We are far right Empire wannabees and Johnny Foreigner had better agree to everything we want. If they don’t, we will blame them for our failure.’ Setting up the excuses for when the negotiations fail. You cannot have a negotiation if one team wants everything their own way. Intellectual Midget.
I could go on but you get the picture….. who votes for these idiots?
