By voting
for Brexit the English and Welsh have switched on the light. And, as
usual, when the light suddenly conquers the dark the cracks become
obvious and the cockroaches scatter. It’s a beautiful sight.
The
speculators and the hoarders are running for cover. And their liberal
apologists are blinded. At the same time their global gunmen feel
naked. And what once felt like a palace now looks like a filthy
dungeon. However it is a dungeon with a well marked exit.
It is an
English and Welsh enlightenment rather than a British one because the
British elite in London and their Celtic counterparts in Edinburgh
and Belfast voted to remain in the dark.
The critics
of Brexit think that switching on the light is an act of madness. It
is far better in their eyes to see nothing and to continuously walk
into the wars.
Martin Wolf,
the main man in the Financial Times, calls Brexit “irrational”
and immune to “cold calculations”. And a Die Ziet editor, Jochen
Bittner, writing in the New York Times thinks that Brexit is
something an “Arab” would do rather than a “rational”
European. Ireland’s leading liberal, Fintan O’Toole, in the Irish
Times likens the voters for Brexit to a “drunk”. And the King of
the liberals, Tony Blair, again in the New York Times, opinions that
those who voted for exit are controlled by “dangerous impulses”.
This is
class war in words – a stab in the dark at the working class who
actually decided the outcome of the referendum.
Despite this
liberal attempt to assassinate the working class character; despite
the accusation of irrationalism, and indeed the racism, directed at
the English and Welsh workers: the vote for Brexit was an act of pure
reason.
No matter
the perspective (political, economic, military or moral) Brexit makes
perfect sense for the working class. Has there ever been in the
history of England or Wales a better example of rationalism? Probably
not.
According to
the mainstream media the determining issue in the referendum was
immigration. The mainstream however is Murdoch: a man who has built
an empire on lies and insults directed at the working class. And
contrary to what the “quality” liberal press think: Murdoch
doesn’t speak for the working class. And neither do the
right-wingers, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, who were and are
presented as being the leaders of Brexit.
The vote for
Brexit was based on solid ground rather than on a fog of emotion.
There was nothing alcoholic about it, nothing fearful nor fantastical
nor dangerous. In fact the vote was raw rationalism. And the fact
that it was based on “uneducated” workers is brilliantly hopeful.
The
empirical reasons for voting for Brexit were as clear as day. The
obvious one is that there is no “European Union” to belong to.
Germany rules the roost. The “Union” doesn’t exist. But the
“Apartheid” does.
The facts
have being piling up for all to see in recent years. Only an educated
fool could miss them. The financial crisis of 2008 crystallised
everything. The subsequent rape of Greece and the generalised attack
on workers throughout the EU (Austerity) made the EU feel more like a
Banana Republic than a Super State.
And the 2014
coup in Ukraine made this banana feeling unbearable. The USA was
doing to Europe what it did to Honduras in 2009. To paraphrase the US
Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasian Affairs,
Victoria Nuland, the US was “fucking” Europe. And the response of
the EU? Silence. Not a word of complaint. So why would anyone want to
belong to an organisation that is being “fucked”?
The fact
that damns the EU the most however, in the eyes of “cold
calculation”, is the EU’s death wish. The EU’s push for World
War III in the East is truly mad. And makes a mockery of the
“peaceful” portrayal of the EU.
By allowing
NATO to goose-step the EU into the Middle East and up to the borders
of Russia completely discredits the EU. Even more so if you’re an
English or Welsh worker. Because it is they who are expected to kill
and die on the frontline. The fact is that the English and Welsh
working class are the EU’s best canon fodder. And in a time of
permanent war: why should they continue to be so?
The vote for
Brexit was not a vote against immigration but was a vote against the
wars of the ruling class – those stemming from neoliberalism and
imperialism (class and world war). That is why the ruling class are
now panicking.
This is the
hard factual ground upon which Brexit stands. But you will not see or
feel this in the gutter liberal press and the gutter liberal
education that dominates the European mind.
Therefore to
grasp EU reality despite EU propaganda is a triumph of human reason.
To understand the class hatred that is dressed up as the “educated”
liberal norm and to rebel against it is rationalism at work. And to
see the real race hatred that is presented as sophisticated EU
foreign policy and to reject it is rational logic at it’s best.
In short: to
identify the disunity beneath the rhetoric of European unity is today
straightforward common sense. And this is what the common people have
in abundance. The English and the Welsh have just tapped into it. And
by doing so they may have just kicked started another enlightenment.
And what
about the darkness? The New York Times, the leading liberal daily, is
trapped inside it. Read it’s June 27 International editorial:
“Compounding
the problem [of Brexit] is Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Ruthlessly playing a weak hand, he has worked hard to undermine NATO
and challenge the post-cold War order by invading Ukraine, funding
right-wing groups in France and elsewhere and recklessly brandishing
his military power from the Baltics to Syria. European countries have
struggled to remain united on issues ranging from NATO’s budget to
how best to respond to Mr. Putin.”
Have you
ever read anything more sinister and stupid? This no doubt is what
the US and EU “elite” see in their dark “places”. Thanks for
switching on the light England and Wales.
