In the first few days of the referendum the UK has gone histrionic paranoid. The pound has dropped against the dollar and euro, shares have dropped and it is like a green card out is for the racists of the world to go and vent their opinion. Doing racist things, graffiti, hate language and prejudice. Yet, this is the surface which the media is quick to jump on. Showing the worst things of society sells papers and gets high news viewing figures. In the mean time listening to radio and TV the voice of EU immigrants who work in the UK are not just concerned about racism but also about their status, these are people who do hard work and contribute to society. They don't know whether they have to leave the UK and they look around in suspicion looking at British people in a different way. As thought hey have been betrayed. The situation is complete madness fuelled by those who react and don't think first. Even the renown Mr Junker wants to punish the UK and petulantly shows his disdain by publicly ensuring no EU top ranking officials will be allowed to have back room conversations with British representatives. Factually this is the kettle calling the pot black. Corporations already know the EU is the biggested lobbying place in the world. An example is the in secret disaster looming behind the doors of TTIP negotiations. There is madness and it is going to take a moment of high intensity candle burning before it wears out and calm descends. Be assured though calm and rational thought will arrive. Providing the news is not given too much weight especially the tabloids.
The stock-market roller coaster reaction is exactly what traders love. It makes quick millionaires and billionaires. They love it and like fanatic football fans jump for joy, it's the best thing in the world. Except of course if it is your particular shares happen to be the ones dropping like a stone, or your pension is affected because the pension fund manager is not quick enough off the mark. It is the little man who's affected not the rich man. And this point is true of the artificial recession which has been here for a decade ever since the banking disaster. Bought on by buying toxic American mortgages. In addition the recession is an result of exceedingly poor judgement from ruling political parties. A tory party who took on a coalition with power hungry Liberal Democrats who are now guaranteed never to have a political voice for at least another 70 years. This was the biggest mistake they have made in their entire political history. A mistake that ensured Tory power and ensured the further entrenchment of the UKs recession.
The fact is we do not know what the future holds, and am fed up with the pessimism of doom and catastrophe. The fact is the UK needs trading agreements it does not need covert ruling from an undemocratically nominated set of 5 presidents in the EU. We can have trading agreements with other countries, we can have agreements with the EU and it is in both the favour of the EU and the UK to continue trading. It is trade which builds bridges, it is trade which also brings peace. In weeks from now there may be calm. If there is then this frenzied rage of stupidly raging will be seen for what it is just fear and scape-goating. The UK now needs a strong and decisive government, but one which listens to the people and doesn't follow the faction from which it comes. For it is a thing which affects all citizens not just the elite rich kids, we all have a say in this country and the result of this referendum is the voice of the people.
The UK will not be leaving the EU until article 50 has been engaged by the prime minister. Fortunately the current worst prime minister in history Cameron will no longer be here, the same should be fore Gideon Osborne who freely confessed he had no plan for the UK if it voted out. He was explicit and this is a man we can not tolerate in the cabinet, he must go. There is a way forward and it begins by having a calm head and looking at the facts. Gently moving, being diplomatic and fostering friendships, which should be on both sides of the house. We are still in a recession and the need is not just to raise us out of the recession but to raise the entire country to a equality
