Last night, the UK decided that they want to give another dictator a go, quickly forgetting the damage caused by St. Thatcher, the racist Churchill or the murderous Cromwell. Buffoon Johnson has such a bulletproof majority, for now, he’ll obviously exceed the green light he received about Brexit and proceed with the true One Percenter agenda: widening the wealth gap, dismantling the NHS (calling it reform, very Orwellian), in short, Americanization and being Putin’s other bitch nation.
There are two silver linings.
The first is Scotland. They voted vociferously against Brexit so this will bring back their independence vote. Allegedly, Buffoon can disallow it since he wants to plunder the taxes the Scots pay to reward his corporate cronies. I doubt he’ll keep the Scots at bay for long. They’re a tough bunch and after reading a book called The Genius of Geography, the bad publicity Scots received via Trainspotting appears to be a blip. I look forward to a new EU member.
The second of course is the EU. They’ve had enough of the UK’s (really English) bullshit. I will readily admit it’s an imperfect organization but contrary to the Economist‘s frequent shit talk, what can you expect when several dozen nation states with centuries of existence, try to iron out the kinks to make a federation on par with the US? The Europeans will be laughing for years at the UK’s economy shrinks and they shrivel back into the backwater island they always were. Beyond entertainment, what export products do the English have beyond their condescending attitude?
We truly live in the Stupid Ages. Now I must see the Centrist/Right Wing, dishonest warnings of how Corbyn’s loss should tell the Democrats to continue backing NeoLiberal shitbags like Mayor Butt-Head or Clueless Uncle Joe.
