Thank you



Thank you. 

To the 17 410 742 out of the 30 million who turned to vote yesterday, I want to personally thank you. You have made History and 24th of June 2016 will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point in European and British History.

After 8 years of austerity that has bled Europe’s most vulnerable people, after decades of neo liberalism painful policies that enriched the 1% and impoverished the 99%, after the cruel measures imposed by the EU institutions to protect those who created this crisis (so that we are clear, I mean the £850 billion bailout to the Banks in the UK alone, and I won’t mention the £38 billion the recent wars have costed neither) at the expense of the People, after 5 years of humiliation of the southern countries to bow to the rules of the biggest ones in the North, you finally made Europeans stop and think that maybe, just maybe, something was quite not right in the equation. 

Thank you.

Although you voted for a Brexit thinking your daily financial, health, education and welfare struggles are linked to the educated skilled migrants that pay taxes for the British economy, provide you with the doctors, nurses, engineers, managers and other qualified degrees you get on a silver plate from  EU countries at zero cost and all benefits (because you can’t afford £9000 a year to educate your youth, and we all know, I hope, that an educated society is a wealthy society), and although you voted to leave the very rules that protect your data, your human and workers’ rights, your farms, your universities and your health, you did us, Europeans, a huge favour. 

Thank you.

Because now, thanks to your vote, thanks to the rise of extreme far right parties, you have accelerated the 1930s by a decade and hopefully, European Institutions and Leaders will at last have to change the course of their policies to stop protecting the ones that shamelessly rob the poor. Whilst there will be some turbulence during the grieving of our divorce, we can start building a future with those that care about being part of a family, a community, a herd. That herd that gave birth to the human rights convention, democratic ideals and the welfare society to look after us all as a whole, each and every one of us after the atrocities of the 1940s.

Thank you.

I do feel profoundly sorry for the 16 141 241 other ones, the young, the educated, the team players. I am sorry that you know you will never be Norway because Norway is a social country where one pays 60% of taxes so that all can live well. Europe welcomes you to join us. As Europe will welcome the Scottish and the Northern Irish people too.

Thank you.

I know Nigel Farage has already admitted the £350 million a week for the NHS was a campaign lie  and I know Boris is now saying there is no need to rush the divorce, it’s a bit too late for that. But you may want to start educating yourselves for future reference and check this lovely little website with lots of very simple pictures that shows you where your money actually goes… because as it happens, it’s not the migrants, it’s not the poor and it’s not the refugees that are your real problem …  http://app.wheredoesmymoneygo.org//bubbletree-map.html#/~/total and in particular:

I guess the next target will most probably be the non Europeans, non fair skinned, non Christians … and I feel very sorry for them for becoming the next scapegoats… I feel sorry for Joe Cox who was brutally murdered by a very white British man, a terrorist against democracy and a supporter of white supremacy, for her human and democratic views. I feel sorry for her children and husband who are not only grieving her now but the country she loved and had hopes for. But that murder was a clear sign of what was about to happen and the down spiral this country is getting itself into. Good luck.

How surreal would it be to actually look inside and see that the problem facing Britain today is precisely their very patriotic noble elite who choose to hide their outrageously "earned" money at the cost of ordinary citizens money in offshore tax heavens, bail out those who failed and encourage zero hour contracts?

Thank you.
