Time for resilience

HISTORICALLY, the UK’s entry into the Common Market was primarily for the purposes of trade.

We now find ourselves connected umbilically to a political bloc that is driving us towards a United States of Europe.

For this reason alone I am a Brexiteer. I consider the EU Parliament and the Commission an undemocratic construct such that ordinary voters have no way of directly influencing EU policy.

Given our parents’ and grandparents’ resilience and stoicism through the deprivations of two world wars, surely we can follow their example and successfully manage some temporary disruption during the Brexit transition. What is there to lose?
