The aftermath of Brexit

Boris Johnson told us that if we Vote Leave we will “Prosper like never before”.  I now get the joke.  Prosper like never before. Get it?  As in nobody ever “prospered” by becoming progressively more impoverished as jobs and business disappear to the continent and the kingdom is divided back into it’s constituent parts, all diminished into smaller, poorer and weaker nations.

How appropriate it would be if he became Prime Minister and had to clear up an unholy mess of his own making while trying to convince everybody who voted Leave that the slow death of a once great country and the potential breaking up of an entire continent was actually a good thing and well worth it if it advanced the careers of two charlatans like him and Michael Gove.  I look forward to the day he finally admits that all his mendacious bluster in the EU campaign was – well just that empty, vacuous bluster.

Since the result was announced, let us look at the steady stream of news coming in of how we will “prosper like never before”
