This may shock some of you, but there's a really good Brexit article in the Mirror.

'Brexit has already been cancelled - and here's why they're not telling you'

Do give it a read, it's very good, but if you want to avoid all of the annoying pop-ups make sure you have an adblocker installed.

The British public still have no idea what they voted for with Brexit – it’s not elitist to admit it

Inviting a largely uninformed public to make a judgement on something as unfathomably complex as EU membership was akin to asking a six-year-old to perform brain surgery – with a crayon

Wherever you look, the same godawful spectacle. People with no imagination, repeating the same ideas which didn't work last time. The same old misplaced fears, about the same old referendum result. The same shocking degree of irresponsibility from Cabinet ministers. It's like watching a video of muddy water swirl down a drain, every hour of every day, for months on end.

Even an election wouldn't sort this out. What would be the Tory policy? May's deal or no-deal? It wouldn't make any difference. You couldn't get her MPs on side for either. So even if she got a majority, which she probably wouldn't, she still couldn't pass her bill. Corbyn's Brexit policy is just as demented as hers, but even more vague. Even if he got a majority, he'd be in the same position. An election solves nothing.

There is no fire escape. We are trapped in unconscionable circumstances by people who were warned that this would happen and did it anyway.

All of the crap from Project Fear is irrelevant. An ex-colleague of mine explains it thus, 'Primarily the issue at stake is accountability of politics to the electorate. The EU institutionalises the disenfranchisement of politics from the electorate and leaving the EU offers the chance to reverse rather than progress that process.' Some other ex-colleagues continually argue with him, citing the possible and actual consequences of Brexit, but his stock reply is that the electorate have spoken and that should be the end of it, regardless of the consequences. He was an opinionated twat when I worked with him and still is.

Still, at least we won't run out of food or anything.

Oh.

Heh.

Was he a QS by any chance?

The whole thing, including Labour's behaviour on this, disgusts me.

This, but for basically everything that has happened in the last two-and-a-bit years.

I know it's not comparable in scale and effect, and i'm invoking Godwin, but I never understood how a country could have such mad hysteria to go along with the whole Hitler/Nazi thing.
I now have a bit of understanding how a lot of the public can support something that should be obviously completely bat-shit crazy, and how that can come about.

Societies, constitutions, institutions only really become interesting when they're breaking down. The last five years will keep PhD candidates in theses for a very long time...

If ever there was a job where people can usually get through on bluff and bluster whilst actually having zero knowledge or expertise then it's politics. Got fucking found out, the lot of them.
