The brexiters journey in gifs

Boris Johnson in referendum campaign - 2 speeches
After he has chosen a side
Core message - blame the foreigners
Brexiter claims on social media and in the press
Ukip types and FGarage fans - always mention the war
2 years later - trying to kid themselves
Brexiters - “there will be food”
Whenever challenged on the bus and other promises
But still it’s going to be amazing with all the freedom
Oh - But why can’t I go to my house in Dordogne when I want?
It’s going wrong! Blame game 1 blame the EU
Blame Game 2 Blame the press
Blame game 3 blame the remain campaigners
Oven ready deal
Wow they believed us again
Someone forgot to pay for the electric - no oven
It’s going okay the public won’t notice - covid will distract them
When the wrecking ball comes all Brexiters and Brexit enablers
But a few people have done their job well haven’t they!

I keep hearing a naive argument from Tory MPs & their cheerleaders that no deal won’t affect so many businesses but they are being completely dishonest about the realities of business in the 21st century. We are all interconnected and rely on the overall health of the economy 1/
Those companies who export are directly affected - if they lose business

1. they lose jobs
2. They stop investing
3. They pay less tax
4. They spend less in their GB based supply chains which in turn leads to 1-3 in those companies
2/
5. They spend less with service companies which in turn leads to 1-3 in those companies
6. The laid off staff in all 3 parts of industry have less money to spend in the local economy which in turn leads to 1-3 in those companies

So many parts of this totally outstanding. But mainly it reminded me why we started organising in earnest in our communities in 2018 and got behind a second referendum. We recognised that the push from government was from the start always going to lead to this precipice. 1/
There was never a soft Brexit option and as we learned more and more about the nitty gritty it was a totally pointless option anyway. The strings were being pulled by the ERG, the tail was wagging the dog. 2/
There were too many politicians in parliament unwilling to tell the truth to their constituents, and that is what we tried to do. To get our local MPs to tell the truth by trying to shine a light on the truth within our constituencies. 3/

Learned something new watching #hospital which was about the amazing organ transplant work they do. It seems that Eu governments pay for their citizens to get specialist treatment in the UK, so putting money into the system and also sometimes supply organs for British patients.
There is also a reciprocal arrangement whereby British patients can be sent to the EU. These cooperative arrangements have averted premature deaths.
So after all that scaremongering that brexiters did about health tourism making Brits think they are being had by those forens, it seems in fact, the NHS - and therefore British patients and taxpayers - benefit in a very genuine way from overseas patients.

Serious question. How are parents across the land supposed to teach their children moral values and that bullying is wrong and has consequences if the prime minister and the Home Secretary and all the Tory MPs say that Bullying is Acceptable?
Someone mentioned mp expenses earlier. Indeed the public was outraged at that scandal because it was about the poor standards of public behaviour. The Tories have since taken this degradation of standards to new depths and the public doesn’t seem to care.
If people who hold the highest office in the land have appalling standards and no moral code which they follow publicly, this just gives the green light to everyone else to behaving appallingly at will. It creates a Wild West of Ethics!

I would like to know why for several years the business people invited onto news programs have been only the deluded idiots who did not understand this basic truth. The @BBC in particular made it look again and again like it was a 50 50 split on opinion on this.
In fact I bet it was probably, amongst business people, more like 80-90 percent of the opinion that Brexit is costly and will leave our businesses significantly worse off. And only about 5 percent who are absolutely convinced it is the bees knees!
The reality in business and industry is that there was no finely balanced opinion. Overwhelming consensus was, in the most simplistic terms, that #brexit was never going to be something which helps business or industry and was only going to cause damage.

For more than 4 years we have warned you that brexit and leaving the EU simply diminishes us, diminishes our influence in the world. We were told by brexiters that this was wrong, that we had to believe, the brexit would make us more global not less. Thread 1/
Your stupid promises are in tatters. With every decision this Brexit government makes, it isolates the UK further, diminishes its standing in the world further. The press with Murduch at the helm has done the same. 2/
We haven’t quite got leaders who lock children in cages (yet) but the Murdoch press have been investing in the ugly part of people’s nature that makes them frightened of poor wretched souls in boats and persuaded politicians to stand on beaches ranting angrily about foreigners.
