I don't necessarily agree 100% with all points, but I do endorse the sentiment completely.
And above all: the Brexiters who used lies and manipulations to get 37% of the electorate to vote Leave have a very particular reason for stealing the UK out of the EU. It is that they want to make it a low-tax, low-regulation economy where they and they alone can flourish. Such an economy will not have resources for the NHS, a good state education system, a welfare net, or environmental protection. It will strip away consumer and employee rights: Brexiters have stated in public their intention to make a ‘bonfire of regulations’ to make money-making easier. And that is the key. It will make things easy only for money – money and nothing else.
The only people who do not need an NHS because they have private medical insurance, the only people who do not need a state education system because their children go to private schools, the only people who will never need a welfare net because they are too rich to care, the only people who do not need clean city air and clean beaches in the UK because they have country houses and take their holidays abroad, are the rich.
Brexit is a con in the interests of the rich: and it is no surprise that the campaign in favour was funded by some of richest men in the UK, none of them accountable to anyone or anything but their own desire for yet more money. Remember all this. And keep fighting against Brexit.
