Uncertainty - Honest

I was listening to a phone-in radio show about Brexit, as one does, and a lot of callers were business people and farmers. They were virtually unanimous that Brexit was bad for them, but the uncertainty is particularly bad from a psychological perspective.

Now, the narrative from Boris is that the uncertainty will disappear once, and if, his Brexit Bill is passed by Parliament, but that is only the first hurdle and there will be years and years of uncertainty while an FTA with the EU is negotiated (if Boris doesn't string it out and become so obstreperous that we default to No Deal after the transition period, much to the delight of his Vulture Capitalist backers) and then all the 70 odd FTAs we have with the 'rest of the world', but lose through Brexit, have to be renegotiated from a position of fundamental weakness - the major and very obvious one being the fact we're a much smaller market than the EU.

All uncertainty would disappear in an instant if Article 50 were simply revoked. The answer is staring us in the face, but no; Boris is determined to ruin the country for the benefit of his mates because Leave had the narrowest of wins in an advisory referendum that was an object lesson in how not to run a referendum - Remain has only one option, but Leave has a myriad, being just one of the multiple problems.

Politics in the UK is broken, but the solution is also simple and the very large elephant in the room. It doesn't require proportional representation or changes in parliamentary procedure or anything complex - all it requires is for MPs to be honest. It's rather ironic that Boris, who is reluctant to submit himself to scrutiny before parliamentary committees, not to mention being a proven serial liar, is calling on Corbyn to man-up. Boris is an utter charlatan, a disgrace and the perfect exemplar of what's wrong with British politics.

I'd add Führage, the unelected leader of his Brexit Party Ltd. to that, but he doesn't have any MPs. He is, nevertheless, a disgrace to European politics.
