Fox’s get out

So Liam Fox – previously disgraced Defence Secretary – is preparing his get out. Is his confirmation of the looming crisis a prime case of Project Fear or sour grapes?

We have also had the pronouncement from Mark Carney and, in his case, I have decided it should come under the banner Project Fair Warning.

Remember 2008 when the banks’ behaviour caused the financial crisis and we saw people having to queue outside Northern Rock to get their cash before the bank went bust?

It has to be said that the bankers themselves did not go bust and, unless I am underestimating them, they might well be reviewing the no-deal Brexit as another opportunity to cash in. Because in the last ten years they have continued to treat customers badly.

We have been warned – are we listening?

So, should bank customers wait and see what happens? Or should we take the Fair Warning, play safe and start to withdraw our savings from the banks now?

Why wait to see if we are granted a people’s vote?

Let’s all write to our MPS demanding the immediate abandonment of Brexit and copy in the Prime Minister.

That would surely be a better indication of the true will of the people than a poll of only 1000 of us.
