Brexit woe

[MaryN]

In my personal view, the awful thing about the Remain crew is that they aree peddling this myth of a European utopia that simply does not exist. I suspect that most of them have never lived in another EU country - probably the best they can say is that they enjoyed a 2 week holiday every year in Ibiza and enjoyed the sun, booze and phone signal for their Facebook links. The youth unemployment rate in most of the EU is terrible, and black marketeering is rife just for people to survive. The UK is the strongest economy in this crap institution, and it is not because of the EU. We are an experienced, democratic trading nation. We have clout and an attitude that says we will prevail.

In the part of France I lived in for years, the political climate has changed dramatically. What started off as a comfortable little mix of Socialist and Conservative is now solidly FN. People are pissed off. Our farmer neighbours despaired of ever moving forward - EU rules and bureaucracy trapped them in a cycle of dependency and regulations. I suspect there are more French than UK citizens who would like to escape, but they did not get a vote. We have been fantastically lucky to be able to exit. And it is not just France. In Spain the youngsters would be lucky to get a decent job at all. Why do you think so many try to get to the UK? They may only get jobs as waiters or suchlike, but that is better than they will get at home. It is ok for those with money - the same everywhere - but what about the normal people who have to graft for their living?

The EU, in my opinion (and experience of living over the Channel) is going to tank big time. The cracks are widening and the plebs are gvetting restless. Better out when it crashes.
