Brexit is a con and was never meant to work | Jacob Wilbourne

All Brexit was about was deregulation and the subjugation of our rights. Deregulation does not help 85-year-old pensioner Doris, but it does help the Jacob Rees-Mogg types who have already made millions from betting on the pound.

Every single thing we were promised during the leave campaign was a lie and now the charlatans need holding to account and preferably to be prosecuted.

We’re now the poor man of Europe once again.

The worst, most corrupt and most useless government in history has left the UK with crippling national debt, the highest taxes in Europe, the lowest pensions, sewage in our rivers and seas and public services on their knees whilst they’ve raped and pillaged our country and made off with billions of pounds for them and their mates.

They’ll continue to siphon off as much as they can until they (hopefully) get kicked out at the next election.

We need a proportional representation electoral system, nationalisation of our public services and a codified British constitution so, for example, prime ministers cannot lie to the Queen and parliament and get away with it. What once was career-ending is just another day in the Conservative Party.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure the Labour Party is prepared to make those changes – instead, they’ll continue to try to “make Brexit work”.

Yours angrily,

Jacob
