Remainers will blame Brexit for everything

I have no doubt that, even in their dotage, Remainers such as Stuart Love will still be mumbling about Brexit, although by then the EU will have been consigned to what Trotsky referred to in 1917 as the dustbin of history. The crisis concerning HGV drivers has been long in the making, predating Brexit by decades, and afflicts mainland Europe, the USA and China as well as the UK.

The failures of energy policy also have deep roots but the blame can be shared equally by fanatical environmentalists and incompetent politicians, the latter having allowed nuclear power, fracking and storage capacity for gas to have been criminally neglected.

The Northern Ireland border is the product of EU intransigence, and the latter’s determination to punish the UK for daring to defy Brussels, while the problems with fishing stem from French refusal to compromise on virtually everything.

Despite the insistence of Remainers’ claim that the promise of more money for the NHS was untrue, the fact is that even more funds have been poured into this bottomless pit since Brexit.

Mr Dove might like to note that the provision of lorry parks is indeed one of the solutions to the HGV crisis but of course his final comment about taking back control is the crux of the whole debate.

The EU is beloved by elites because it undermines democracy and prevents the people from determining their own future, forcing them to take a knee to their supposed betters.

Supranational organisations are inherently undemocratic, and we escaped from rule by unelected bureaucrats in the nick of time.
