They kept very quiet, Corbyn in particular. The fuck-clump.

Iām no union fanatic - I stopped being part of Amicus when the bosses 6 figure expense claim was made public. But the large multi-nationals show daily how little regard they have for their employees and will be more than willing to fuck them to a degree weāve forgotten as soon as the protection of the EU is stripped away and they can apply full-mental US tactics on us. Iāve worked for a big US firm, and their local staff would come back from lunch to find their desk packed up and no job simply because the quota for āheadcount reductionā hadnāt been met that month cos us europeans proved too hard to sack in a hurry. The poor yanks were trivially easy to sack, so they did. The likes of Amazon, Deliveroo, Uber etcā¦ will soon be pushing for their hire-and-fire ways to travel across the Atlantic and the Tories will be bending over backwards to accommodate them. Those single digit percent companies employee huge numbers and directly affect huge numbers more. Weāre fucked.
Having spent a few hours yesterday discussing whatās happening to parliament with an elected Labour peer I have concluded weāre fucked and that brexit is not worth wasting my energy on. May will screw us all.

Edit: who was it?
Stupidly as he was here for my daughters baptisms (his wife is now their godmother) I forgot to ask if he minded if I quoted him on a forum for miserable old cunts. So I wonāt.

No. He was easily taken in by the Tories.
Just like that cunt Corbyn.
Depressing piece in the HuffPost today.
Theresa May, driven by the need to keep the Tory party together along with the need to fulfil her pledge to deliver a Brexit makes No Deal almost inevitable whatever anyone else does.

Read that earlier, very depressing indeed but kind of inevitable I think. I donāt think there ever was a deal to be had.
Labour pretend to talk to the Tories so they canāt be accused of not attempting a deal, Tories pretend talking to Labour so May can tell the ERG to support her deal because the Labour proposal would be worse.
We are utterly fucked.

It really is āplaying politicsā at its worst right now, from both parties. Iām not normally one for predictions, but I think itās a safe bet to say that history will not judge May or Corbyn kindly over this.

Iām currently at a sadness stage on Brexit, it switches between that and anger. Itās just such a sad indictment of our countryās worst aspects - a superiority complex, jingoism to the point of racism and a whole load of absolute fucking stupidity.

Iāve moved into a acceptance phase now. The considerable upside is I now have a legitimate reason to loathe 50% of the general public.
