Writing in @guardian about law politics & #Brexit, @prospect_clark refers to stealthy “leave means leave” FB campaigns for a #NoDealBrexit. @AdamRamsay, @paulhilder et al: if poison is found in our veins, do we await the post-mortem? Is there an antidote? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
In that piece @prospect_clark points out (as he must) that the date on which we leave the #EU is set by its law, not ours. A #NoDealBrexit will place us at the mercy of all. Our MPs control UK laws only, But until #Brexit-day we have control of one thing: we can #RevokeArticle50.
It should by now be clear that there is no deal that is better than the one that we have. Within the #EU we have some control, have some part in shaping its laws & the way its laws are applied. 'Take back control' is a slogan wrapped round a lie that in the EU we have no control.
Mere facts & mere logic mean nothing. The government with all of its agencies, politicians, the media, the dark money opinion machines, they have all abandoned the concept of truth. The lines they give out are lies & lies about lies. We know what was fact when it hits us & hurts.
"Barring an early EU climbdown over Ireland, something not even May is expecting, the deal is not going to be redone to mutual satisfaction by the next scheduled vote, on 14 February." @prospect_clark, do you think #TheresaMay means us to bet the UK on a flip of her brain?
Or is this a coup, a deliberate waste of time to create a #NoDealBrexit in which we get asset-stripped to the bone?
The central lie of the campaign for #Brexit was "that Britain’s problems originated in Brussels rather than in Westminster. But with the Remain campaign led by the then prime minister & chancellor, it was impossible to counter with that truth." @TomKibasi: redpepper.org.uk/dreams-of-a-no…
