Just watched BBC-2’s Brexit; A
Very British Coup. The duplicity of the Brexiters is clear to see.
The Tories, like Gove, Johnson and Fox, are under orders to have
nothing to do with what their party supposedly sees as Nigel Farage’s
irresponsible and incendiary campaign. But in fact, they are in touch with him
the whole time, and when a story starts running that if Boris gets to be PM, he’ll
offer the UKIP leader a seat in his cabinet, the blonde bombshell does nothing
to deny it.
As for Labour Brexiter Gisela Stuart, she says she considers
Farage so loathsome, she will never share a platform with him. But when it becomes
clear that his anti-immigrant approach can save the Leave campaign, she, er,
shares a platform with him.
Another Brexit campaigner is the hedge fund boss, Crispin Odey. The
Leave vote sent the pound plummeting – bad news for the rest of us because it cut
the value of our homes, savings, pensions, wages etc by 10 per cent or more.
But it was good news for Mr Odey. He made £200 million out of sterling’s
collapse. Another example of how Brexit was a blow for the rich elite against
ordinary people.
But perhaps the most revealing moment in the programme was when
disgraced former defence secretary, now leading Brexiter, Liam Fox was asked
what would happen after a Leave vote. It was plain he neither knew nor cared.
And doesn’t it show?
