Brexit is most definitely Brexit

Like a punch drunk journeyman boxer, who takes heavy punches to the head for pennies, the crazy dancer of Downing Street staggers in a directionless weave around the three ring circus of Brexit, lurching from one verbal tongue lashing to another.

On a human level I could almost feel sorry for her if it wasn’t for them damned nasty neo-liberal policies that she and her cronies unleash on the vulnerable citizens of the UK on a regular basis and her complete contempt for the right of the people of Scotland to have any sort of control of, or say in, their own futures.

If ever there was a moment in time where within the communities of Scotland previous No voters of 2014, or undecided’s, seriously need to consider the facts about where Scotland is being led, against its democratic will, at a deeper level than Jackie Burd’s propaganda, Andrew’s Neil or Marr with your Sunday fry up, or the Daily Record, it is now.

How much humiliation can Theresa May absorb?  From the very day and hour that it became clear that within a period not too far hence London would not be partaking in any of the future goings on in the largest tariff-free trading club in the world the consistent response from Brussels and the leaders of all the main players remaining as members of the EU has been that any deal which the UK proposes for a future relationship must not in any way compromise the main precepts of the remaining European Union.

They couldn’t have made it any clearer, they couldn’t have made that point any more often apart from if they’d perhaps flown a huge blimp in the shape of Boris Johnson tied to the roof of Big Ben above Westminster with the words ‘ATTENTION BRITAIN, YOU ARE FUCKED’ emblazoned on the side of it.

The London government is still playing the John Foreigner will blink and surrender because we’re British damn you tactic. No they won’t. Chequers or any other cherry picking offered option putting forward a threat to the benefits gained by remaining EU countries of being a member will simply not be accepted by Brussels.

This week Theresa has been kicking around Salzburg at a summit with EU leaders, hoping they’d at least say some nice things about her, what with the Tory party conference, or as it might turn out, using a Game of Thrones analogy, ‘The Blue Wedding’ coming up soon. She’ll need more than a coughing fit to save her this year from the raging right-wing xenophobes.

Treated like a leper with an itch she could have only have been more shunned if Michel Barnier had suggested to her that she might want to take his poodle Marcel out for a comfort break to let the rest of the room talk about her.

Indeed there are actual photos of her looking pensive whilst hanging about outside the conference room, whilst a meeting she was barred from was taking place inside to discuss the remaining EU members strategy to ensure that Britain committing national suicide doesn’t bollox up their economies as well.

This is the leader of the UK government we are talking about here, waiting outside a room to try and ingratiate herself with the leaders of a massive trading bloc who clearly think that the UK government are completely bonkers.

Can Scotland continue to risk it’s future chained by the ankle to this mob of clowns? We’ll sink just as quick as they will, even though we voted against it.

Are we prepared for a late in the game back door deal being made that would see Northern Ireland being allowed access to the EU to the extent that they would remain in the single market, when Scotland won’t?

Is the risk to an approximate 80,000 Scottish jobs after a no deal Brexit something we should just accept?

Are you happy that the control of Scottish farming, fishing and the environment will be handed over to London, rather than Holyrood, where these powers will be used to meet the priorities of the British state rather than for the benefit of the people of Scotland?

Are you concerned about the future treatment of the many EU nationals in Scotland from other European countries, many of whom work in vital services like NHS Scotland, and the probable reality that there will be shortages of skilled labour in key employment areas in a country with an ageing population after Brexit?

It’s coming folks, it’s six months away. The dying throes of a cast aside former world power, self- deluded and unbelievably still haughty about where it thinks it fits in in the world, blissfully ignoring reality, are not going to be pretty.

Scotland must escape this. There is no alternative. Independence is the only answer, or we go down with them.
