We all deserve better than this Brexit heist
✒ ONE of the central lies of the 2016 referendum was that we had lost sovereignty to the EU.
The Leave people wanted us to accept that would-be dictators on the continent wished to take away our voice, vote and influence.
We can now see the May government fighting to get us to accept a “deal” no better than what we have as EU members, with the added complication of a £38 billion divorce settlement.
Perhaps it is sensible to claim that Brexit was an audacious heist of a country – ours – by a cunning, ruthless gang of very rich men who used scams, lies and dirty tricks. Do we deserve better?
