Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
while i have always thought that brexit won't happen because big business don't like the idea, i'm starting to change my mind. big business. the rich. neo-liberals or tories or whatever do not have a clue what they are doing anymore. or why they are doing it. or why they are pretending to - or pretending not to - do anything.
i reckon that labour are right - they may well win power not because of their own virtues but because of the spectacular ineptitude of the tories and the crazy economic situation we have arrived at.

so, if labour are to be in power we need to be able to resist the ultra capitalist pressures of the EU. we retain workers' and human rights but retain the power to write our own rules about restraining the corrupt big business privatisers.

i'm not quite becoming a brexiter but am considering it. socially and in terms of peace etc it's a complete nonsense. still, interesting times for us socialists
