The World Needs Saved...

Boris Johnson the Clown made Prime Minister Boris the Clown is now our Prime Minister, or is that Prime Minister of the Union, as he now wants to be called? But when he is called the clown I don’t think of a normal sad or happy clown, I think of Pennywise the clown from the Stephen King novel IT, a demonic entity hell bent on devouring those less powerful than him and who in the end is defeated by children. Sorry for the spoilers there. It’s only been a few days and PM Johnson has made a few grandiose speeches about saving the union and making the UK the best country in the world and blah blah blah. So, what are these promises? How does he plan to make them come true? And what other changes has he made?

Over the past few weeks I have done a bit of tweeting and I admit that sometimes I can get a bit wound up by responses from people who have closed off their minds and refuse to even think about what Brexit will really do to the UK. In this piece I decided to try and look at the various pro Brexit arguments have heard and then use the facts at hand to see if they are valid. The ultimate aim here is twofold. First, instead of trying to engage one on one in pointless Twitter wars I decided to write down my arguments, hopefully this will help me keep calm about the subject. Second if it brings around one doubting Leaver by using the facts and not propaganda then it will have done some external good as well.

The start of the EU Parliament session is not an event which is given massively extensive coverage in the UK. It’s noted that it has happened, anything out of the ordinary is given some level of coverage before the media move swiftly onto something else. That is until the people Britain elects to represent them turn up and act like utter fools.
