“He doesn’t want to die until Brexit Was reversed. “These words were said at the funeral of my dear friend and ex last week. Observer Colleague Dick Leonard.
Dick Passed away a month ago 90 years old. The speaker was his widow Irène Heidelberger-Leonard, and in front of a group of mourners, including Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, Dick was to some extent his political mentor.
Dick’s love for European causes put his political career at risk-he served as the personal secretary of Parliament to Labour Party Cabinet Minister Anthony Crossland from 1970 to 1974-when he joined 68 others led by Roy Jenkins Labor rebels voted in 1971. In favor of joining the European Community, opposed to the Labor Party policy at the time. Yes, the Labour Party’s attitude towards the current EU has always been a roller coaster ride. Here we come again. The famous Labour Party politicians lamely accepted Brexit which was clearly a disaster and needed to be reversed.
Why, even the famous culprit and architect of the lying vacation movement seems to have a second thought about it all His second BBC interview last week. “Is Brexit a good idea? No one on earth knows,” the shameless Dominic Cummings asserted. In fact, the prime minister’s former best friend said, “It may be perfectly reasonable to say that Brexit is a mistake.”
I would say that this is completely reasonable. Many people on our planet know this very well. But Cummings—almost showing that he was acting as a mercenary when he provided Johnson with Brexit—also told us that anyone who believes that Brexit is a good thing must “relax”.
Now, the media is full of disaster stories every day.This Northern Ireland “Agreement” will not work. The shocking Brexit Secretary Lord Frost said every time that the agreement signed by the United Kingdom-for Johnson’s short-term political convenience-should be renegotiated, on the grounds that the EU is-waiting for it and making this country a laughing stock-no Reasonable! He remembered Groucho Marx’s witty words: “These are my principles. If you don’t like them… well, I have others.”
People are beginning to wonder whether Cummings now believes that, in addition to all the other well-known failures of the prime minister, the chaos of Brexit could lead to Johnson’s downfall-an important signpost is that “Freedom Day” on July 19 quickly turned into a fiasco It was the same week that the Northern Ireland crisis was fully manifested. In the former case, it does not need football players to embarrass the government: Just the CEO of Marks & Spencer.
But back to my late friend Dick Leonard. When he was working in Brussels, I often covered European affairs with him. If they consulted the valuable EU guidelines he co-authored for the EU, many of the problems caused by Brexitists could have been avoided. economist Later the publisher Routledge.In the 2016 edition Routledge Guide for the European Union, The author-Dick and another EU expert Robert Taylor-observe the upcoming British referendum: “Not everyone will accept it. If voters choose to stay, it will be a’win-win’ situation for the UK and the EU. , But if they decide to withdraw, they will definitely lose-lose.”
If Brexit persons consult the guide, they may discover what the customs union and the single market actually are, and what a rude decision to give up hard-won membership privileges (privilege acquisition, in the case of a single market) ) The market, especially their ostensible political hero Margaret Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher)). Incredibly, after the action was completed and the cabinet Brexitists faced reality,
They must ask our former ambassador to the European Union Sir Ivan Rogers to explain these two institutions to them.
Alas, just like the keen observer Denis MacShane-the former European Minister of Labor- Pointed out recently, “Johnson needs to fight a protracted war with the European Union to prove that the Brexit war is not over.” This is in the name of a country that launched a war to save Europe in 1939, and its Prime Minister Winston Churchill even proposed in 1940 that it was actually a political alliance between Britain and France.
Most importantly, McShane said-he may have coined the term Brexit, and of course predicted the outcome of the referendum-Johnson “hopes that the main opposition Labour Party knows nothing about Brexit.”
But the time has come. The words of the widow of our friend Dick Leonard-“He doesn’t want to die until Brexit is reversed”-I hope, will strengthen Stammer’s determination.
