Like many across Scotland the increasing stupidity of the Conservative Government has me worried, nay scared, maybe even frightened.
I have waited three days for the scabrous Tory Party to behead itself but even in this they are clearly incompetent and ineffectual. If they can not do a hatchet job on Ms May's premiership, just how can anyone trust them to make any decision such as whether to put milk in their tea or not; deciding whether the milk goes in first is beyond their ken.
The EU has made its position clear on Ireland as much else and yet May's yapping dog, Rabb, keeps barking there must be a cherry picking deal to suit the Tory Party's own prejudices. Just how many variants of "Non, Ils ne passeront pas" does the Minister for Brexit have to hear to get the message the only offer the EU is willing to make, in order to allow Rabb to protect Tory protectionism, is stay in the customs union and free trade area; including keeping all the current EU customs and trading rules. This is all that is on the table no matter what attempts Rabb, May and the rest of her venal crew try to tell us otherwise or cry the EU "Is nae playin fair, yon bastarts."
It appears, as more and more multinationals plan to exit Brexit Britain or are in the process of moving out, the Tory Party can not see past its own bubble of denial while squealing the companies are just trying to scare the Tory Government into an EFTA style compromise, its blackmail the Tory MP's cry (into their own venerial soup of corruption and self interest). It is not "blackmail" when Jaguar Landrover's plant in the UK is being rundown in favour of a new plant in Croatia. Nor that Honda Swindon are already laying off workers in preparation of moving engine production to Belgium. Nissan have told the UK Government they will cease operating in the North East unless some customs deal is done to ensure "just in time" supply provision from across the EU. The "City" has already seen the exodus of over 60,000 finance related jobs to Dublin and Frankfurt since Brexit was announced. For heaven's sake even the Reese-Dog's finance and hedge fund company has opened an office in Dublin to protect its EU trading interests. Meanwhile, in the midst of this ever enlarging shit storm of economic malfeasance on the part of the Tory Government, the BBC tells us some tax dodging, taxpayer funded moron is "Having a baby!" Talk about MP's fiddling their expenses while the UK burns while, if not doing that, sexually harassing and bullying their work force at Westminster.
What I am really scared about is all the ordinary people who are walking around with their heads up their arses thinking it will be "all right", "It won't be that bad" and "We'll just muddle through." Their is no realisation that the fiscal collapse of the pound after Brexit will threaten their state pensions, welfare support and access to an ever increasingly privatised NHS which a post Brexit Scotland, remaining in the Union, will not be able to prevent. The current Tory Welfare policy has been estimated, by research carried out at Oxford University, to be directly causing 60,000 unnecessary deaths, among UK citizens, every year since 2012. That approximates to Dundee being reduced to a ghost town between 2010 and today. This figure is higher than the Nazi's average annual cull of children and adults with mental incapacities and disabilities between 1937 and 1945. If you can not find this comparison to be scary, dear readers, I do not know what will alert you to the cruel intentions of the ever more right wing, Tory Party the English electorate continue to support, according to the latest opinion polls.
As for a recent Tory MP's comment "Why not leave the "Mick's" just to shoot each other." as a solution to the UK border in Ireland problem sums up why I am increasingly scared of any outcome that sees Scotland as a part of the UK come Brexit Day.
I will continue to support the First Minister's, "Slowly, slowly; catchee monkey" approach on the best time to call for an independence referendum in Scotland but, as we sidle ever closer to the Brexit cliff edge, my nerves are starting to feel like an over wound guitar string and I do not know just how much more Tory Party ignorance, hostility and bullying of Scotland I can take.
Update: Just checking news feeds, seems I have to add Ford to the list of manufacturers exiting the UK on Brexit.

Yes, it's utterly scary. Having made yet another attempt to convince some of the "it'll be fine, they need us and we must stay in the union" brigade just tonight, I have to admit to having lost my temper with them.
ReplyDeleteThis fascist uk government is going try to bind us in by force and coercion as well as threats and propaganda.
Whi will the unionist arseholes blame then? The EU and that esenpee of course. Not themselves. Never themselves.
I admit to a degree of despair.
