#NotMyShitshow - response to the Brexiteer claim that the Brexit mess is the fault of Remainers

There has been some attempt to blame Remain supporters for the acknowledged Brexit mess.
What was needed - if Brexit was going to be a credible movement: - those who wanted Brexit get together, preferably before the 2016 referendum, but in the absence of that afterwards, and agree what sort of Brexit they wanted - establish a consensus for it (they had a popular majority and MPs who were prepared to hold their noses and implement some Brexit for the sake of the narrow referendum majority) - put together a plan, - and implement the plan. If this had been done then I expect we would have left in 2019 with a Customs Union and Single Market solution, but we would have left with something. Brexit has failed because *those who were in favour of Brexit did not agree what they wanted* It failed because it was an argument in the Tory Party that got out of hand. Those who started the fire could not put it out, or did not want to, and did not care what damage it caused. It was destructive, not constructive, That destruction is a success for the architects, Cummings and Johnson, because it has given them power, but a disaster for those suffering the collateral damage, i.e. ordinary UK citizens, however they voted. * those who were in favour of Brexit* . Get it? Not those who thought it was batshit crazy. You can try asking for their support when you have a plan that fills more than the back of a fag packet. It's not the job of the Opposition to form the Government. Of course as the saga of incompetence unfolded then doubts rightly rose in the minds of MPs. But, Leave Leaders if any, you can't expect blind faith, you can't demand unquestioning loyalty as you barge into the fog with your eyes closed. The failure for Leave to understand page 1 of Project Management for Beginners was evident early on - see my summary in Quora February 2019 https://www.quora.com/1-trillion-is-leaving-the-UK-because-of-Brexit-Why-are-Theresa-May-and-the-conservative-party-living-in-cloud-cuckoo-land-with-their-hard-right-fantasies-while-Corbyn-and-the-labour-party-do-nothing Just as extra flavouring, if Gove ignores my warnings about the Irish Sea from December 2019 (there was a letter in response from DexeU just before they turned the lights out, so this did reach Government, ) and then complains about the mess the protocol he is (because he ignored my warnings), then this is his shitshow, not mine. https://viewdelta.blogspot.com/2020/05/re-need-to-consider-seriously-how-to.html #NotMyShitShow

Johnson departure - why, when, how, who & what next ?

  JOHNSON DEPARTURE - why, when, how, who & what next? (1000 words) I have blogged bits of this in various places, so this blog post brings them together. WHY? Boris Johnson is arguably the worst leader we could have at this time. Thousands of people have died unnecessarily because of his mistakes; thousands more will die. We also cannot start to fix the Brexit blunders while the Blunderer-in-Chief is in charge. He persistently resists scrutiny and will learn nothing. #IDontBegPardon , we hear from him, which is why that's the title for our new book & CD. A change of Prime Minister, has the potential to save thousands of lives, and that on its own is a good reason to hope for this and to work towards it. We could get a new Prime Minister who is focused on the real job, not on enriching incompetent cronies in the way that the National Audit Office report shows that Johnson's Government has done. WHY WILL MPs SACK HIM? Most MPs want (1) to retain their seats - that's

9 reasons why I as a Christian, am in favour of remaining in the EU, and opposing the current Brexit path

9 reasons why I as a Christian, am in favour of remaining in the EU, and opposing the current Brexit path (4000 words) INTRODUCTION There are a number of reasons why my Christian Faith leads me to support remaining in the European Union. Of course it’s right to respect that other Christians support Leave, and I have sought to understand their views. It’s reasonable to say that membership of the EU or not is a means to various ends, and people may disagree as to how remaining or leaving would fulfil those ends. This is a practical question; Leave or Remain is not an issue where one answer or the other is intrinsically moral or immoral. I have searched online and have not found much written that covers my nine main reasons, listed below – hence this article. I would be interested in responses, particularly from Christians who support Leave. This is a personal view. But it represents a strong conviction. I  am not denying that others may have different opinions, but I do have

Covid situation in India tragically illustrates the impact of "taking it on the chin"

  The Covid situation is India is a humanitarian tragedy, I hope the UK  can help further. The DEC Coronavirus appeal has been extended to cover India The situation is also, if we needed one, an illustration of what could have been the impact in the UK  of “letting the virus move through the population” , “taking it on the chin”,  and of not locking down while other countries do so, to avoid (in the words of Johnson’s Greenwich speech), going “beyond what is medically rational to the point of doing real and unnecessary economic damage”. There is debate as to whether Johnson shouted “let the bodies pile high in their thousands”  and thereby demonstrated a lack of empathy with the bereaved and a lack of caring as to how many would die. But after three fatal decisions to delay lockdowns, and after his refusal to meet families of the bereaved, there can be little doubt about the lack of empathy, or of his continued  inclination towards an approach that would have led to a disaster whic
