The Cowards and Deceitful Opportunists of Brexit

TIME TO ABANDON SHIP

Gisela Stuart and Douglas Carswell have announced they will not be standing for re-election for parliament in the 2017 General Election. This adds to the growing number of prominent Brexit campaigners that seem to be leaving their jobs and have no intention of being a part of the huge and immensely complex negotiations involved in leaving the EU.

I don't understand how you can be so passionate about something in politics, yet decide you can't be bothered to finish what you started yourself. Either they're lazy, believe someone else can do a better job, or scared of the actual impact Brexit will have and have no intention of accepting any blame of how negotiations end. They are distancing themselves from the process of leaving, after being so in love with the idea of separating from the EU.

Several prominent figures on boths sides of the debate have decided to call it a day as an MP, for differing reasons.

Nigel Farage is an International Embarassment for the UK

Oh dear. Nigel Farage is at it again. On 5th April, he galloped into Strasbourg atop his Brexit unicorn and proceeded to once again, spew bile and delusional accusations at EU parliamentarians. Farage criticised the EU for it's £52 billion pound exit bill at the start of negotiations. As the official representative of all that is wrong with Britain, he had the audacity to say a hell of a lot of threatening and patronising words.

I am thoroughly disgusted by Farage's behaviour. He is there as a representative of the UK and is acting like everything about Brexit must be fine with him. He has become the face of the UK abroad and the poster boy for why people should just tell us to get stuffed. He's basically saying it's my way or no way at all. There are 65 million people in the UK and Farage is representing the extreme end of racist nationalism.

For the rest of this article, I want to analyse Farage's speech and bring to light other occasions that demonstrate what a disastrous demagogue he has been for Britain.
