Brexit

So we have another deadline for finally leaving the EU is anyone going to put money on this happening apart from a few M.P.s.

Whichever camp you now reside in ‘remain or leave’ it is quite obvious that the majority of M.P.s are incapable of running this country because for too long major decisions have been made in Europe and not in England.

My concern is that we have now lost the ability to govern this country without outside help.

I am old enough to remember some of Dennis Potters amazing plays which were beautifully written and well produced.

What has Dennis Potter got to do with Brexit?

He wrote a story about a group of children who were quite cruel to one another but the twist was that the children were played by adults. The play was called ‘Blue Remembered Hills’ The men wore shorts and the woman had pigtails. And having watched numerous Parliament debates I am struck by the similarity between our representatives ( I use that term with some trepidation ) and the children in the play.

I have a vision of Borris Johnson in shorts and a catapult hanging from his back pocket, grey socks hanging over a pair of mud-stained trainers, a piece of rope tied around his waist which barely keeps the shorts where they should be.

Handbag fights between the female M.P,s where they pull one another’s pigtails.

Yes for me Parlament will never be the same again.

And where will it all end, well it may go back to a peoples vote again, and we all know what happened to the last one.

Let me give you a scenario; Ground Hog Day but instead of the wake-up music being ‘I Got You, Babe, let’s change it to Hotel California.

It’s worth watching Blue Remembered Hills.
