I do not blame myself for anything. I am a result, not a
cause. I am trying to think. I am not through yet. I am going to begin again
when I get things thought out.

She was wasted in Customer Complaints. She should have been put in charge of lanyards.
ReplyDeletedearieme - yes she was wasted, although she would have demanded a much bigger budget for running Lanyard Central.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been impressive if the Powers That Be had got on with a 'proper Brexit' from the start. Even Boris, that won a General Election handsomely on the basis of 'Getting Brexit Done', was sabotaged and ejected for no good reason.
ReplyDeleteRachel Reeves *has no basis* to judge the success of Brexit for it was hobbled from the start, but she will never recognise that 'realigning' with the EU is the wrong medicine for the wrong diagnosis.
Not only could Britain have become an economic power house if everyone had pulled together with a will, but the EU is going down with the sinking German economy. Our governing 'elites' much prefer failure and disadvantage, it's what their intellects demand.
DeleteDJ - I agree, Brexit was hobbled from the start, there was never any intention to make it work but there was a desire to make it fail. Once some people have aligned themselves with a narrative, they seem unable to let it go, as if doing so would diminish them, even though conspicuous failure does that to a much greater extent.
ReplyDeleteTammly - and they seem willing to accept their failures as the price we pay for their careers. Blame is so easy and they know it.
ReplyDeleteOnly one flaw in their cunning plan.
ReplyDeleteThe EU is diving to the bottom faster than the LibLabCon ( emphasis on doobel entender Con ) can sink Britain even while piling many industry destroying rocks into its pockets. But plucky Hungary is kicking against the pricks.
Meanwhile Norway shows how Brexit could have worked.
Doonhamer - yes, the EU dive to the bottom seems to be picking up speed. The idea of having any industry at all seems to have become unfashionable among the upper echelons.
