Deadly Carry on Brexit farce

Sir, – The reality of Brexit is becoming clear.

Far from being a land of milk and honey as the Brexiteer liars claimed, the chickens are coming home to roost.

The downmarket Sunday tabloid (owned by the billionaire taxexile, Jonathon Hemsworth, aka Lord Rothermere) is warning its readers about food, medicine and power shortages, massive tailbacks at ports and airports and the Army being drafted in.

This same paper was the biggest cheerleader for leave and the biggest source of Brexit misinformation.

The absurdity of Brexit was further underscored by Michael Gove.

This arch-Thatcherite wants local councils in England to allow people on to dumps in order to see if they can repair and recycle rubbish.

Gove once said families relying on foodbanks did so because of poor financial planning.

Gove’s comments are not an aberration; 14th Century throwback Jacob Rees-Mogg stated he would like to see UK health and safety standards fall to the same as India.

He seemed never to have heard of the Bhopal disaster in 1984. Some 40,000 people were killed and 500,000 injured in this industrial accident.

The Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey is said to have conceded privately to cabinet colleagues that the disastrous Universal Credit scheme is costing families up to £200 per month. Despite this, the Tories are carrying on with its roll out because of ideology.

So bad is the looming Brexit disaster that the Tories have appointed a minister for food shortages for the first time since rationing was abolished in 1954.

With the looming catastrophe pending all Theresa May could do was come on to a stage to the song, Dancing Queen.

Even that turned into a disaster with Abba now threatening legal action for using their music without permission.

This Carry On Brexit is farcical, yet its consequences will be deadly.
