Has the UK Government gone full alt-right?
You don't need an insurgent right-nationalist uprising when a ruling Conservative Party can willingly morph into one. The UKIP vote has collapsed because Thereasa May has done it better and is in power. Ultra-hard Brexit, anti-immigration, sucking up to Trump. Who needs Nigel Farage?
The worst thing yet is May's meeting with Euro leader and bureacrat in chief Jean Claude Juncker. A gaffe prone performance in which she demonstrated knowing jack sh**, thinking a deal with 27 nations would be a quick process and thinking that Britain is in a strong position was leaked by Juncker. Her reaction to that was to stick a figurative middle-finger up at johnny foreigner clothed in a Union Jack. Juncker is a shyster but he is shyster with a lot of influence.
We have just pissed off our biggest trading partner who have five times our economic strength. Of course the hubris is interpreted as strength by our nationalist press and their 'Crush the Saboteurs' mentality. It will help May in the election but then this mentality will screw us.
Thereasa May's slogan for the election is 'Strong and Stable'. Unfortunately a lot of people buy it. I wonder if they will still call me a 'Remoaner' when the recession hits us?
