(opinion) Don't buy the bluff. Here's the truth about no-deal Brexit

[RVN VET71]

11. Brexit was sold to the Brits based on lies and fear

Remember the 400,000,000 pounds WEEKLY that was to be freed up for National Health Care? The amount of money which the lies purveyor, Nigel Farage said, after the vote for Brexit, was absurdly out of whack with possibility, heh-heh! Son of a bitch lied, spent money to advertise his lie and, after winning the vote, admitted, shamelessly, that he had been freaking lying!

Fear? You think the Republicans know how to place the racist, xenophobic game? Sure they do, but the British pro-Brexit crowd could school even Trump in spreading fear and hatred when it means money in their own jaded pockets. The 2 biggest vote getters in the Brexit vote were the stabilizing of national health care -- which was a lie from the beginning -- and the fear of people coming into the country freely who 1. take over jobs (which they didn't) and 2. don't speak the language (which many didn't, but most could get by and were, if anything, more than eager to learn) -- oh, oh, and let's not forget 3. who don't look, y'know, British.

The U.K. was sold a bill of worthless goods by lying racists and xenophobes who foolishly, stupidly, saw more money for themselves if only the sheep would allow them to pull the country out of the EU.

If the U.K. economy does, in fact, suffer after Brexit as is being predicted, there are movements in Scotland and Northern Ireland to vote themselves out off the U.K. altogether. Doubt if they'll succeed but there will be blood -- there already has been some preliminary violence in Derry.
