The Brexit Thread

[Beanz]

Blaming Labour for the Brexit mess and the gargantuan ineptitude of the current Government is nonsensical. It is like a knee jerk reflex based on little more than frustration of not actually thinking about what you complaint is. The tories under Cameron called the referendum in an effort to get difficult questions to go away and it came back to bite them. People are still avoiding those difficult questions now three years later.

People are now moaning and with a straight face suggesting that somehow May's Tories not having a clear majority to get meaningful votes through Parliament is the fault of Labour. Why? What are Labour supposed to do ? Give up the votes they gained in 2017, votes made under a promise of making sure Brexit happens, to gift a majority to the tories? The deal May has so spectacularly failed to get through is a worse deal than the current EU agreement the UK business', institutions and individuals live under now and have done for years.

It is the Blarite version of Labour, 'New Labor' that in trying to compete with the Tories in punishing poor communities and demonising immigrants, deregulation and the mass privatization of public services that increased inequality and created the environment for Brexit to take place. Corbyn is an antidote to that, a return to traditional labour. For working families and communities. Look at the contrast between that and the identity politics of UKIP and Benjamin and the Brexit party with Farrage.

New Labour were Neo Liberal Thatcherites under an Oasis swagger. They unleashed even more corporate monsters onto the British public by keeping the Tories anti-union legislation and preventing class mobility and neutering the working class communities ability to resist. Those corporate monsters, people like Farage and Tim Martin who decimated British communities by installing cheap souless American style chain pubs at the expense of pubs that had often been in communities for over a hundred years are here now with UKIP and Brexit having got filthy rich from those same communities they are pretending to serve. And still they are at it bleeding the voters dry.

Blair invaded Iraq under the banner of New Labour while Corbyn opposed him. New Labour introduced tuition fees, stopped building council houses and social housing and started the privatization of the NHS. None of that was for working class communities benefit. Corbyn wants to stop that rot and turn it around not capitualte further to American and corporate interests like Farrage and UKIP have made it clear they intend to do. They will end the NHS and that is just for starters.

So let us not pretend that supporting UKIP etc is somehow more Patriotic or any such nonsense.

Get out and vote .

Unless of course you want to just vote for somebody who has no intention of working for you , does not believe in the institution he just wants expenses from and just can't wait to sell Britain off from under your feet. In that case don't bother if you truly want to do something patriotic.
