Letter From The UK: Britain?s Brexit: The Long Last Leg
Has the middle ground in Brexit been lost"Â
How do automotive manufacturers respond"Â
Geoff Maxted examines in his latest Letter From The UK.Â
Whichever way a British individual voted ? to leave or remain within the European Union ? the sense of an ending is the same: Brexit is like waiting to die. You don’t know when and you don’t know how; all you know is that it will happen and that it probably won’t be a fairy tale ending.
It’s ?The Fear? you see, not unlike the Millennium Fear that gripped the world just prior to the start of this Century.
Y2K Paranoia
Remember that" Computers would cease to function and the global machine would stop. Aeroplanes would fall from the sky as the systems shut down. All the fast food fryers would stop for want of electricity. It didn’t happen and life went on, as did the fast food industry. Brexit comes with the same fear, only worse. By and large it is made worse by a hyperactive ?fake news? press, inept politicians, unelected stuffed suits like the EU ?President? Jean Claude (?Just the one bottle of red with lunch?). Plus a plump German hausfrau and a truly odious little Frenchman who should not even be in charge of a cheese baguette.
Fear Runs Deep
The result is ?The Brexit Fear? and it has polarised opinion. There is no middle ground. Both sides of the battlefield are becoming increasingly strident, coarse and, frankly, ridiculous.
We are due to leave in March 2019 and some Brits are not...
