Not taking us to hell in a handcart, Keith? A blundering Tory idiot who is now history, who was certain that he could win the referendum, has managed to get us bundled out of the EU on the back of a pack of lies. In nine months the pound has collapsed, inflation is roaring ahead, there's no prospect of pay keeping up with it, there's talk of removing the triple lock on old-age pensions (which are among the worst in the EU already) because there's no money to pay for it, leaving millions of pensioners vulnerable to inflation, the NHS has gone in a few short years from the best it's ever been to a complete basket case, we can't afford care for our elderly any more, millions have been forced into bogus "self-employment" or zero-hours contracts, productivity is shite, there is no prospect of a decent trade deal with the EU or anyone else, half a million Brits in the EU are living on drastically-reduced pensions thanks to the collapse of the pound and there's every prospect that their pensions will be frozen and that they'll lose the reciprocal healthcare agreement, millions of EU citizens living here, people who we sorely need to keep the NHS, care services and agriculture afloat, feel threatened by the new hostile-to-foreigners atmosphere, the Scots may well be on their bikes, nobody seems to have given a thought to the brexicated bloody mess that would be visited on Northern Ireland...the handcarts are parked in a long row outside the house, Keith, but all you can do is look upwards out of the top half of the window and see the sunshine and the fluffy white clouds. You always were good at missing the point, weren't you?
