I have been all my adult life. When I moved back to England in 1977 questions of Europe, the Common Market, and the UK\u2019s role in it were rife. Eurosceptics abounded. Things haven\u2019t changed all that much in the last 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>It was as clear to me then as it is now: the UK is far better off inside the EU than outside of it. Membership has brought the kinds of economic benefits that workers in the 1960s only dreamt about. As a country, the UK is richer, stronger, and more active on the global stage than it would be any other way. Besides, if the availability of espresso is a gauge, membership in the EU has shaped two generations of Brits into (quirky) Europeans.<\/p>\n<h6>Atavistic Fantasies<\/h6>\n<p>Any fan of the BBC might be forgiven for thinking that the UK is still fighting the Second World War. The UK\u2019s nostalgia for the 1930s and \u201840s is manifest in its endless repetition of war-themed dramas, quaint detective shows, and class-war soap operas.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve no doubt that spoon-feeding such pablum corrupts the thinking of many Eurosceptics; helping them believe the sun still never sets on the empire and the wogs begin at Calais. It doesn\u2019t, and they\u2019re racist.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is, it is jobs that begin at Calais. If only the execrable Jacob Rees-Mogg and that pillock Boris Johnson had paid more attention to the UK\u2019s ambassador in chief, James Bond, perhaps they wouldn\u2019t have tried so hard to wreck the economy. Then again, if you\u2019ve been educated at Eton and Oxford, it is likely your empathy for the working man is held at arm\u2019s length \u2013 at best.<\/p>\n<h6>Hands up, Mister Bond!<\/h6>\n<p>William Cross <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/node\/160075\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">writing in the New Statesman pointed out<\/a>: &#8220;Bond pandered to Britain&#8217;s inflated and increasingly insecure self-image, flattering us with the fantasy that Britannia could still punch above her weight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leavers seem to believe that turning its back on its proximal trading partners will restore an empire it spent the last century dismantling. That the UK&#8217;s navy will once again rule the seas. It won&#8217;t. Better then to work inside a system like the EU and change it, than whine about it from outside.<\/p>\n<h6>No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!<\/h6>\n<p>In \u2018From Russia With Love\u2019, the criminal syndicate Spectre understood the British very well:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/FRWL-Snippet.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2306\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/FRWL-Snippet.png?resize=341%2C210&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"From Russian With Love\" width=\"341\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/FRWL-Snippet.png?resize=520%2C320&amp;ssl=1 520w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/FRWL-Snippet.png?resize=768%2C473&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/FRWL-Snippet.png?resize=215%2C132&amp;ssl=1 215w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/FRWL-Snippet.png?w=982&amp;ssl=1 982w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Having fallen into a trap of their own making, the only path the Conservatives have taken with Brexit is to damn the torpedoes, damn the better interests of the country, and run the good ship Britannia full speed towards the rocks. Going against the results of the referendum, they bleat, will corrupt democracy! Brexit means Brexit! To which I say, horsepucky!<\/p>\n<p>David Cameron, as Prime Minister, called for the referendum in June 2016. Then, as soon as the vote to leave the EU passed, he quit.<\/p>\n<p>Succeeding him, Theresa May, despite her poor change management process, went on to negotiate a not-so-awful agreement with Europe that might save the UK from financial ruin. Sadly, her poor change management process meant no one else was on board with her plan and it was doomed even before it was put to a Parliamentary vote.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Cameron should never have painted the UK into the corner it&#8217;s now in. Instead of resigning he should have had the cajones to say,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Yes, 52% of voters called for Brexit. That is a call to action, but it\u2019s not a mandate to jeopardise the UK\u2019s financial future. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Severing our financial and business arrangements with the EU after 40 years of integration will not be easy, and with so many jobs at stake we will not take such challenges lightly. Neither will we ignore the will of our electorate. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We have heard you. We want to better understand why you voted to leave, and once we do, we will actively address those issues. Together we shall make the UK a stronger country and stronger trading partner. Yada-yada.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After a couple of years of such guff, many of the voter\u2019s issues could have been addressed, while the key economic underpinnings of the country would be preserved. Sadly, such an approach takes leadership, something that\u2019s in miserably short supply these days.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2340\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_5333.jpg?resize=604%2C302&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"604\" height=\"302\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>The Russian Connection<\/h6>\n<p>Little has changed in Russian foreign policy since the start of the Cold War. There\u2019s nothing the Russians want more than discord and disharmony in the west. Brexit surely fires up Vladimir Putin\u2019s little cockles.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as though the Brexit campaign was ripped wholesale from the KGB\u2019s European playbook. Sidelining a key player in the EU and NATO\u2019s alliance is nothing short of a gift for Russia\u2019s geopolitical ambitions. Particularly since all it took was a little augmentative meddling in social media.<\/p>\n<h6>But What About Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition?<\/h6>\n<p>He\u2019s a richard. The sooner he goes the better. The Labor Party&#8217;s constituents broadly oppose Brexit. Corbyn is a long time Eurosceptic and a liability to the party. The sooner he goes the better.<\/p>\n<h6>Bridge on the River Why?<\/h6>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/RiverKwai.jpg?resize=604%2C302&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fron River Kwai What Have I done?Russian With Love\" width=\"604\" height=\"302\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a Remainer I keep hoping that Theresa May will wake up one morning with a horrified look of realisation on her face and ask herself, \u201cWhat have I done?\u201d Staggering from her bed, she will reach for the phone and make the call that presses the plunger and blows up the whole Brexit construct.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps common sense will overwhelm Parliament and it will vote against a no-deal Brexit, ask for an extension, and come to its senses. Perhaps. Pink Floyd, the rock band, once flew a pig over Battersea Power Station. Thus, pigs have flown in London. Might they do so again for Brexit? Possibly.<\/p>\n<h6>And\u2026?<\/h6>\n<p>We will be in the UK in early summer, wind and waves willing. At that time Brexit, as it is currently writ, will have come galumphing out of the woods. It is then the British political landscape will be transformed as the country\u2019s voters painfully realize that decisions have consequences.
