THEY WON'T MENTION BREXIT

𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗪𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗧
Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and Labour leader, Keir Starmer, don’t like to mention the word Brexit.
They will skip and skirt around the word, as if it is something very naughty, best not to be referred to in polite company, or rather in front of voters.
And when they do refer to it, it’s only to confirm belief in it (Sunak) or that the debate about it is over (Starmer) - but anyway, Labour will make it work.
Not mentioning Brexit is a chronic condition now of both the Tories and Labour. It was certainly the invisible elephant in last night’s leaders’ debate.
As an article by Hugo Rifkind in The Times last year was headlined, ‘Sunak and Starmer can barely say the B-word’.
He wrote, ‘Even now, with no benefits of Brexit visible, neither leader will bring himself to acknowledge the elephant in the room.’
Even some pro-EU groups and campaigners claim that we should not mention the 'Brexit' word as it is ‘divisive’.
It's an argument I've heard for 8 years, ever since the referendum result.
But in my view, it's a failed policy. It has not helped us.
If we don't mention 'Brexit', we allow Brexiters to keep mentioning it, and to continue to lie about bogus Brexit benefits, without any effective challenge.
We must tackle the Brexit lies head-on, because if we don't, we let them become so entrenched that they are then increasingly difficult to shift as the years go by.
By not mentioning Brexit, our side lets the other side control the agenda and the message. That’s not the way to win.
After all, we don’t just want our country back. We want our continent back.
We want to ‘take back control’ that we lost after the referendum, that we now know was fuelled and funded by Putin’s Russia.
[See TheRussianConnection.co.uk]
To challenge Brexit, we must mention Brexit - not just once, but every day, until the message really gets through.
Brexit is a sham, a fraud, and a despicable lie, that offers Britain no benefits, only devastating disadvantages.
You can’t say that without mentioning Brexit.

A nation in denial. Nothing good has ever come from that. If some youtubers are to be believed, once the GE is over Labour will do a 180 and brexit will be a thing of the past. People are in for a disappointment. Again. A monumental mistake like brexit cannot be corrected in a few years, nor can it be done without an honest debate about it. Emphasis on honest. England isn't ready for that yet, a one man Danzig army isn't sufficient.

@@ab-ym3bf I am only a small voice in all this and unless the Rejoin side gets its act together and does proper campaigning, for the first time, there is no chance of rejoin happening. Both the main parties are now Brexit parties and they don't even want to discuss Brexit.

@@JonDanzig I think what is more desperately needed is a discussion among the remainers about the obstacles for making a successful application to join EU. The enormous debt that is way too high for a candidate country, the archaic undemocratic voting system and the lack of a modern constitution, the unelected House of Lords, the adoption of Euro and joining Schengen that are both mandatory criteria, adhering to closer political, monetary and economic union etc, the list is long. Unless the population of UK understands what is needed the whole "discussing Brexit" is just going round in circles. There is no way to circumvent the application criteria so the sooner people understand this the better,. Wether they will support an application is another issue because the task will be huge. UK in its current form and shape does not comply with the Copenhagen Criteria. Brexit is history and it cannot be reversed. UK will never have what it had before Theresa May triggered article 50. Leave that behind and concentrate on reforming UK so it can apply for membership that is the only way forward .

The Tories at this point are like Berlin in April 1945.
