Today is Europe Day.
Europe Day is a day which celebrates peace and unity in Europe on 5th May by the Council of Europe and on 9th May by the European Union.
The first recognition of Europe Day was by the Council of Europe and was introduced in 1964. The European Union later started to celebrate its own Europe Day in commemoration of the 1950 Schuman Declaration, leading it to be referred to by some as "Schuman Day" or "Day of the united Europe".
Let’s never forget that only 37% of the electorate voted for Brexit and many of those either did not understand the implications due to the failure and refusal to explain them or were taken in by the lies, deception or economy with the truth deliberately peddled by the "Leave" campaign.
Let's not forget that opinion polls following the 2016 referendum and until our eventual departure from the EU consistently showed a growing "remain" view and that our Government blindly pushed on with its ill-informed and ill-judged project to permanently damage the UK.
The UK now sits in glorious isolation as an island in the Atlantic, located lost at sea somewhere geographically and geopolitically between the US and the EU, our former strategic partners.
There are dark clouds above the “sunlit uplands” that we were promised as the impacts for our economy and society grow by the day, not to mention the threats to peace in Northern Ireland, the slowly growing nationalism in Wales and the now inevitability of Scottish independence.
Brexit is a folly, an
absurdity, an aberration …. but regretfully it has happened.
Brexit, as we are
discovering every day, has no advantages and just huge disadvantages …. lots of
them.
Brexit
is a catastrophe which will affect the lives of millions and it is
already destroying businesses and livelihoods.
Brexit is going to set our
nation back decades.
The self-proclaimed “World King” (that clown and buffoon Johnson) and his band of flag-waving Brexiteer fanatics are wholly responsible for the decline and break up of our nation.
Never mind, at least for now and until common sense prevails and the UK rejoins the EU and the European family, flying the Union Jack will make us all feel so much better and allow us to move on from the worst foreign policy decision in our nation’s history ….
"Your flag is just a little bit small"
And if that fails to inspire the population, we could always dust down the Spitfires and battleships and go to war over fish.
