Brexit means Brexit May dixit

To start with, I was against leaving EU.

Said this I ought to explain why I disagree with many defeatists who they think that Brexit will be a catastrophe to Britons.

Maybe at the beginning while we are adapting to a new situation it could be harder - I have heard that waiting lists in Health will be extended by a few months and that medical research will suffer cutbacks-, but we always have went ahead and now we´ll do it.

As an island, we got advantages and disadvantages. We´re settled about 20 miles from continental Europe, so we can use this distance at our convenience: in clear days we have approached to continent. We´ve moved away from Europe in cloudy days. Like any other country.

Historically we have thought that the world revolves around us, and that has brought us many mistakes but thinking, like some journalists –Fintan O´Toole, The Irish Time- or some writers –Stephanie Barczewski, Heroic Failure and the British- that Britons love the English cult of heroic failure is not true.

Mr O´Toole is a great professional whom I like reading but in this case I disagree with him.

What my compatriots think is the same my pal Mike thought when we did the bakery: knowing that we were going to be caught by the fuzz, what we should have done was grab the cash and have spent it in a little hotel, in a port, and living like gentlemen for several days.

Before things get nasty you have the right to enjoy your fifteen minutes of glory.

To be honest, what GB is doing now is the same it has done always. The Old British People like betting to the higher bidder and when the harvest isn´t interesting they shrink back from the bet. This strategy has been used by Our Majesty in nine out of ten countries. Nine out of ten countries that Britons have invaded. It isn´t new.

Who did think the EU would be everlasting?

Why do I think Great Britain will benefit from Brexit? Because our country will have free rein again to do things which into EU can´t do. Every man-Jack does it. Let´s have a look…

Referring to worker´s rights “the Government will protect them if they are enshrined in EU law even enhance them”. I´m sure. Another thing is the kind of rights.

If we speak about science and research, UK “will continue working in projects with EU countries”.

With regard to security and defense “Britain will regain full control of the number of people coming to the country”; and there will have a better “operational and practical cross-border-cooperation…” Who do we leave to pass to our country?

Even leaving the Common Agricultural Policy our country will save about 3 billion of Euros that will give the UK “a significant opportunity to design new, better and more efficient policies for delivering sustainable and productive farming, land management and rural communities”.

Having said all this, I recall some verses I´ve read in the municipal library not long ago:

If you can make one heap with all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If.  R Kipling
