Crisis what crisis? Time for a general Election?

Some years back a motion appeared on our conference agenda calling for the union (PCS) to support the introduction of the Euro in the UK. Given the large number of motions on the agenda that and every year our Branch Executive Committee decided to put this particular one for debate  to the Mandating meeting where members at least had a chance to have a say in what policies the union followed.

Resolutions were listed as "support", "oppose" or "listen & decide". Most were straightforward but some like this were bound to cause eyebrows to be raised. I decided I was happy to propose the branch delegates supported this motion and duly moved it thinking that a London multicultural/racial membership would be in favour.

They were not and it was overwhelmingly rejected and so we were delegated to vote against the motion. In retrospect correctly given the crisis that followed the Euro in subsequent years.

A warning sign of things to come? Although I was no longer in the same union come the referendum the majority of my workmates favoured staying in the EU but surprisingly many opposed. There was general disbelief when the outcome was announced. A bade decision but that was the outcome of the public vote. I quietly accepted the outcome as a democrat should do and expected that departure would be negotiated and off we would go.

Now over two bloody years and in my case a month's actual medical coma the issue is still not done. I've generally avoided discussing Brexit, mostly because despite it's importance I am sick to death of hearing about it. We had a chance to go and Parliament rejected Theresa Mays effort which was probably the best chance we had to get the deal done. Now everybody's moaning that we are heading to a "No Deal " exit. Most of Corbyn's Labour who voted constantly against May want to use the lack of a deal to initiate a coup and push the useless commie in Premiership.

Yet they have the temerity to complain old Boris is pulling a fast one with his latest stunt. Boris is playing "chicken" with the EU, but frankly we cannot continue as we are. Britain must be either in or out.  I don't want a "No Deal" Brexit but although one will cause hiccups in the economy there will be no Armageddon as the more extreme "Remainers" preach. Nor will it be as straightforward as the the "Brexeteers" claim. But at least it will be over.

Personally I think the EU should just drop the Irish so-called "backstop" and keep the rest of the deal intact if it's not too late for that.

There needs to be and probably will be a general election this year and Boris will be the likely winner with maybe a few more Lib Dems on the back benches.

So long as Corbyn and his Blackshirt racists are kept out I can live with that.
