Yes, but as they sit at home with the heating off, scoffing a Pot Noodle, they can congratulate themselves in “taking back control”, sticking two fingers up to Johnny Foreigner.
That's what the whole Brexit nonsense is all about.
Until now, no pro Brexit fan could say me with a little bit of logic, how he is personally exactly better off, after Brexit.
You only hear fantasies and from Castles in the air.
National light-headed mudguards take over the land.
Was not different in Germany in the beginning 1933.
I'm of the same view. I look at the old folks being interviewed on TV talking about how they are "happy" with a "no deal" and I wonder what they have to gain, how will their individual lives change the day after? If they have a safe pension and their own home it won't affect them much, save for having to pay more for things in the shops. But for the life of me I can't see how they gain anything. But for certain there will be many people who will lose ... Honda car workers are just the beginning, not to mention kids who don't have the same freedom to move and settle as I have had. So why put so many through all that for little or no benefit? There are echoes of the 1930's ... were politicians who would not have been taken seriously before, start to gain prominence ... and point out who is to blame for your unhappiness. It was Jews in Germany, it's now Muslims and the EU in the UK. Lot's of red faced angry people looking for someone to hate. Sad.
Can only agree with your thoughts.
Granted, the EU also has its mistakes. But the global view is much more important to me.
Overpopulation, species extinction, environmental pollution in the oceans and on land, plastic waste, destruction of the forests, climate change, nonsensical wars, etc. There will not be much space on this planet in the future.
What we are experiencing is the final battle for resources still available.
To solve the problems of this world, global cooperation is necessary. If the time has not expired.
There is a Brexit just the opposite. That's just a national selfish interest.
And the crazy thing is, that people in the UK, in the EU and also around the world are not better off, with nationalist isolation thoughts.
The climate, the dirt in the air, the garbage in the oceans, the temperatures in the world do not know man-made borders.
they all seem to think everything is going change for the better but they are in for a shock,i cannot see one aspect of their lives that are going to change,and the fact they are relying on UK politicians to make it better makes it a certainty,dreamers comes to mind.
I think they do not think it will get all better. Also the reflexion, what does that mean for me personally and my life, family, etc. is not relevant. It is often experienced that people who previously had no power, to whom little attention was given, are suddenly very important. Just like the little border official who pushes your entry stamp into the passport or not.
It is ultimately about achieving a common goal. Even if the goal makes no sense.
The whole thing is accompanied by appeals to national pride and sacrifice.
In a society often disadvantaged, be it objective or even subjective, find themselves together in a new dynamic.
The desire to belong to a solid group is dominant here. Content and goals are secondary.
Perspicacity at its finest. Puts my own humble musings to shame.
