I’ve already said Remainers should get their balls back, but now it’s time for Brexiters to do the same.
As we all know, Brexit campaign leaders pledged – it was emblazoned on the side of their frigging campaign bus FFS – to spend £350 million a week on the NHS. But with breathtaking disdain for their supporters, the very next day after the vote was won, Johnson, Farage, Grayling et al casually dropped the lie pledge.
But even more amazingly, when they did it, there was not so much as a peep of protest from Brexit supporters – the very people who had been lied to.
And now we’re being told – despite Brexit – not only is £350 million a week not going to be spent on the NHS, but the NHS is actually facing drastic cuts.
And still no whisper of protest from Brexiters.
We were also promised by the Leave campaign that the UK would regain control of its borders and put a stop to unchecked immigration from EU countries. But just a few days ago, Brexit campaigner and cabinet minister in charge of Brexit negotiations David Davis said there would categorically be no closed border and no border checks on the UK’s only land border with the EU, in Ireland:
This means EU citizens from Poland (for example) and other EU countries will be able to enter the UK unchecked within a couple of hours for as little as £25.
And still not a squeak of protest from lily-livered Brexit supporters at the broken promise and the shameless lies.
What’s wrong with Brexiters? Are they all so scared of their own campaign leaders they daren’t stand up to them?
Maybe their timidity stems from a feeling of inadequacy because most Brexit campaign leaders went to public schools and most Brexit voters didn’t. Or are Brexit supporters all so bowed and cowed and used to tugging their forelocks at their so-called ‘betters’ that they allow them to walk all over them?
Of course, I might be wrong and in the next few days Boris Johnson may be about to receive 17.4 million messages of protest from Brexiters at his broken promises and his shameless lies.
But I won’t be holding my breath.
I’M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH

They’re still too busy typing out simplistic slogans like “We won, get over it!”, “Democracy in action!”, “We got our country back!” etc to actually think about the consequences.

Unfortunately, most Brexiters think it’s a done deal. That by voting we are out. “See not as painful as you predicted” they tell us. But it’s not a done deal, not even a scheduled deal. The dishonest buffoons who ran the campaign (and then ran away afterwards) continue to promise the voters that we can have all the nice bits about being in Europe without having the unpleasant bits, like paying into the Union or free movement of labour. As they say in Hollywood…”you aint seen nothing yet!”

Well… are the Remain faction going to lambast their “Leaders” as World War III has not commenced, the economy has yet to fail and the projected huge increase in unemployment has not materialised???
I note the four riders of the Financial Apocolypse left their horses in the stable rather than pander to the summons of Cameron, Osbourne et all.
I would also point out Brexiteers have no leaders. Most folk looked at the arguments put forward by both camps and voted as they thought best.

Both sides are being fooled. There is nothing to be gained from constant austerity, undemocratic regulations or a European army pressing ever closer towards Russia.. Who says Brexit is going to be allowed to happen?
Nation states are to be destroyed, Europe is to be regionalised. Brexit/remain makes no difference.

This article has missed the obvious point that the UK hasn’t left the EU yet, so the money isn’t available to be spent on the NHS or anything else. What it will be spent on is entirely up to the government at the time we leave, and that’s for us to decide. Whether or not Farage, Johnson and Grayling were lying during the ‘campaign’ is completely irrelevant.

I am one of those reviled Brexit voters but my reasoning had nothing to do with immigrants. These were my reasons (1) The EU itself and the way it is run (2) My intense dislike and distrust of David Cameron and his taxpayer funded £9mill booklet for Remain (4) George Orwell’s novel ‘Nineteen Eighty-;Four”
Oceania anyone?

is this article actually suggesting that a hard border in Ireland again would be a good thing? Because it most certainly would not be anything of the sort.

So lets suppose, post exit, that coach-loads of Poles cross the border from the Republic into Northern Ireland. What are they going to do then? Get a job when they have no right of residence and no right to a job? Find somewhere to live without an income?
Why are migrants in Calais trying to get onto coaches going straight to the UK when they could be stowing away on the Roscoe to Cork ferry and walking across the NI border?

Sir Henry Savile, a 16th Century Provost of Boris the Blond’s alma mater Eton College and also an Elizabethan ambassador, described a diplomat as an honest man sent abroad to lie for his country. Theresa May has gone one better appointing Boris, an accomplished liar, as Foreign Secretary. Perhaps she had in mind the adage
“When first we practice to deceive, see what a tangled web we weave, but, my, how we improve our style when we’ve been at it for a while”.
Unfortunately however Boris’ willingness to mislead and his racist comments about President Obama precede him and should have disqualified him from consideration for the post of Foreign Secretary

Theresa May (Remain supporter) is the one who says “No extra cash for the NHS” and and who has decided to pay the “NHS cash” to the EU. Boris Johnson is Foreign Secretary – nothing to do with NHS. Nigel Farage has stepped down from UKIP leadership – even less to do with NHS. Chris Grayling is Secretary of State for Transport – nothing to do with NHS. Remain supporter Theresa May is the one who must explain why she has decided to give the NHS cash to the EU instead.

So Johnson didn’t promise that £350m weekly to the NHS after all? I must need new glasses – while I can still have them. He was warned that the figure on the bus (and the figure inside it) was unreliable, but it remained there. Even Farrago referred to it as a mistake. If it was used to solicit votes, there’s a different word for that.

I’m sorry, but I’m saying it. Brexit voters have the foresight of Homer Simpson (cooutnerparts in US are turning up at Trump rallies) and are stupid and thick if they believed the headline about 350 million coming to the NHS. Apparently you had to listen to obscure programmes on Radio 4 to be aware that it was a lie before the vote, whereas brexit voters, on teh whole were looking no further than the headlines in tabloids. Anyone who has ever run any kind of budge knows full well that when spare money becomes available, it is gone straight away. There was no guarantee whatsoever about the 350million and if you believed it, you are simply thick or willfuly naive. And you shouldn’t have been handed the responsibility of a vote.
