To Brexit or not to Brexit.

I dislike the way Brexit has polarised the nation and given the far right a platform to spread hate and division. I also dislike the EU as they are central banking puppets and neoliberal globalists and I'm suspicious of their support for the UN Agenda 2030. https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld I understand there are logical reasons in both camps for their decisions, although I also accept that Farage, Mercer, Bannon, Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica swayed many people with nationalist rhetoric and playing on their fears. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/07/the-great-british-brexit-robbery-hijacked-democracy However, I would vote remain for the simple reason that this impacts environmental regulations, human rights, worker rights, food safety standards our ability to collect up to £120 billion from tax dodging corporations per annum and the loss of prestige, security and trading agreements. It may take decades to get back all the trading partnerships, treaties and agreements that would be lost. The Tories will also take advantage by creating more corporate friendly legislation regarding our rights, regulations and protections to enhance corporate profit at our expense. Human rights. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/14/british-citizens-human-rights-brexit Food safety standards. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/30/food-safety-may-be-put-at-risk-by-brexit-lga-warns Environmental protections. https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/uk-brexit-environment-protections-friends-of-the-earth-wwf-national-trust-a8172276.html The Tories are protecting their profits while turning Britain into a trading pariah and an economic sinkhole that the criminal global elite's money is laundered through. None of that money is taxed as it pases through our economy. Cameron tried and failed to negotiate for a special deal so the UK could continue it's tax avoidance and tax haven facilitation. Then came back empty handed and opened pandora's box by uttering the word referendum. Here's a brief history : "David Cameron was today accused of "completely undermining" the Government's claims to be tough on tax dodgers after the Prime Minister personally intervened to try to prevent EU transparency rules affecting offshore tax trusts." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/david-cameron-intervened-stop-tax-crackdown-offshore-trusts-panama-papers-eu-a6972311.html "European commission to crack down on offshore tax avoidance" https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jun/18/european-commission-to-crackdown-on-offshore-tax-avoidance "From paradise to blacklist: EU’s net starts to close on tax havens" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/02/paradise-to-blacklist-eu-tax-havens "Tory donors’ links to offshore firms revealed in leaked Panama Papers" https://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/apr/04/tory-donors-links-to-offshore-firms-revealed-in-leaked-panama-papers "David Cameron's father and senior Tories named in Panama Papers leak" https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/david-cameron-father-and-senior-tory-figures-named-in-panama-papers-leak-a6967116.html "Roll call of top Tory tycoons exposed in #PanamaLeaks" https://www.rt.com/uk/338484-tory-donors-panama-papers/ "A new report by PCS, the union for most staff at HMRC, issued this morning, reappraises the UK tax gap and suggests it was £119.4 billion in 2013/14, and is rising steadily." http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2014/09/22/new-report-the-tax-gap-is-119-4-billion-and-rising/ "The Anti Tax Avoidance Directive" https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/company-tax/anti-tax-avoidance-package/anti-tax-avoidance-directive_en The likely outcome is a no deal exit with the Tories claiming Henry VIII style powers to write new laws and change existing protections and to crack down on the inevitable unrest that will occur when the reality of Brexit hits home. The food and medical shortages, Irish Border, Scottish Independence, lack of goods in shops, the effect on businesses and trade etc. "Police chiefs prepare plans to quell disorder if no-deal Brexit occurs" https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/sep/18/police-chiefs-no-deal-brexit-would-mean-loss-crime-fighting-tools "Police plan for riots and crimewave if there is no-deal Brexit" https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/police-plan-for-riots-and-crimewave-if-there-is-no-deal-brexit-frbbnjjqp "Theresa May's plan to gain sweeping new powers ahead of Brexit revealed" https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-theresa-may-powers-grab-plans-parliamentary-system-fix-a7935276.html "The original draft of the EU Withdrawal Bill ministers would have been given wide ranging powers to change retained EU law, as well as other acts of parliament through "Henry VIII powers"." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45912824 Impact on the NHS : "No Deal Brexit 'will force UK to use emergency powers' to stop shortages of vital medicine" https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/no-deal-brexit-will-force-13463219?fbclid=IwAR3d9qOE9NjkcYwkiWM4SJ7nuT-cd4HSANUUhE4UBWjsha268Xdpp6Cm9B8 "NHS fears over no-deal Brexit highlight risk to patients, Labour says" https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/aug/21/nhs-fears-over-no-deal-brexit-highlight-risk-to-patients-labour-says "Brexit will destroy the NHS step by step – this is how" https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-nhs-destroy-how-healthcare-donald-trump-eu-withdrawal-bill-funding-crisis-money-budget-a8194751.html Also one final point about,What has Brexit already cost us ?

Proud ?


I'd love to say I'm proud of what our country has become,
But we're ruled by elite kleptocrats these Tory fucking scum !
They kill the poor and vulnerable and kill the disabled too.
I really cannot stand the way they shit on me and you.
I'd love to say I'm proud of what our country has achieved,
But selling arms for genocide is an immoral creed.
We funnel the elites cash for them to tax havens around the world,
While cuts to public services kill our own, this is absurd.
I'd love to say I'm proud of how our country is perceived,
But we are the sick man of Europe because of Tory fucking greed.
They asset strip our country, while pandering to the far right,
It's time to say enough is enough, It's time to stand and fight !
So if you'd like to be proud of what our country could become,
It's time to vote, to march, to shout ! Get rid of Tory scum.
No more deaths will we suffer, no more this vile abuse.
The far right can fuck right off, and the Tories can fuck off too.
