Especially this section - WHAT BREXIT WAS REALLY ABOUT ALL ALONG

Enjoy!

Why don't you cut and paste it?

Thanks Sarahlou, very clearly written (and chilling). (I got round the sign-in thing by using Readerview on Firefox, could also have saved as pdf.) Here’s the conclusion, but the whole thing is well worth reading:

•	Brexit is essentially a coup pulled off at the behest of tax-dodging tycoons and unscrupulous investors.
•	Their only concern for ‘taking back control’ is to rid their own businesses of EU tax laws, financial regulations and employee rights.
•	They have been systematically misleading the British public to hate the EU through a constant supply of anti-EU propaganda and lies.
•	They are sponsoring their friends and collaborators in the Conservative Party to bring about a no-deal Brexit.
•	They are on course to instigate social and economic changes that will turn the UK (or what’s left of it) into an enormous cash cow for their own self-interest.
•	They are abusing democracy to create a plutocracy.

This bit is very relevant too -

"So what about all those ludicrous laws imposed on the British by dastardly eurocrats?

They don’t exist. They were deliberately made up by British anti-EU journalists, like a certain Boris Johnson.

From 1989–1994, Johnson was a bored young journalist reporting from the European Commission in Brussels. He soon found that he could easily make front-page headlines by portraying the European Commission as a bunch of incompetent, jumped-up foreigners undermining the natural greatness of the UK.

He also found that Brussels-bashing boosted his career prospects, as a lot of old-fashioned Conservatives back home believed every word he wrote.

Almost single-handedly, Johnson had created the brand of fake news known as ‘Euromyth’. It did of course mean ditching any semblance of journalistic integrity, just deliberately lying and scaremongering on a daily basis — but he managed to do it spectacularly well, and still does."

Yes, and the moon landing are faked. Brexit can be interpreted in a number of ways depending on who you are looking at. You could say the same for the EU.

@bellinisurge - just tried to, too long. You'll just have to click the link

@BogglesGoggles - your cynicism suggests you haven't read the article. Your choice.

Well know all this. I am still a leaver.

Well if you DO, and still stand by it, you are a dangerous nihilist.
