Referendum. The Truth.

Three years ago Cameron decided, in a fit of peek after the UK’s abysmal faring in the Eurovision Song Contest, on a ‘Screw You EU’ contest of his own. If the ESC can be much ado about, well something else entirely, apologies to the bard, he can have a referendum on similar lines. Ostensibly aimed at garnering the public’s once and for all decision on in or out, in ESC terms the songs, he had two very different motives. I mean when was the last time you heard a politician interested in what we think? One was to message the anti EU section of his own party to, “Shut the fuck up!” and the other to put the fear of God into other EU member states to reform the out of touch central committee, i.e. re the ESC the politics. And it may be working. Already Michael Gove has muted he might quit politics to raise his own family of snails in Shropshire and in this morning’s news France are thinking of having a ‘Screw You EU’ Frexit of its own. It’s all very therapy. It’s not enough to talk about wanting to change, it’s about getting off one’s arse and making change happen. So it’s all very difficult And just like Australia is now for some unknown reason in the ESC I suspect the EU’s enlargement plans are more about empire building than any rational beneficial expansion. The real and obvious truth is the moral of the English public has been broken by lies and corrupted truths on all sides. It’s not that we can’t see light at either end of the tunnel, it’s that we’re in the tunnel in a sort of old age demensure. The mother of all parliaments has become senile. A referendum about a youthful reinvigoration of our own parliament, now that would be worth voting for.
