The Free Word – The Brexit Lie!

Actually, my trip to southern England was supposed to be a pleasant reunion with England, but this degenerated into a post-Brexit mission immediately and unintentionally: After traveling through Germany, Belgium and France, after years across the Channel, starting with Dover, purely optically a disastrous picture – here well-ordered and there backwardness in terms of the buildings and the polluted inner cities in Brighton and Exeter, for example, as well as the transport infrastructure. On the return journey I also experienced the tens of kilometers of holidaymakers’ cars and lorries congested in the Channel Tunnel heading out and hardly any traffic heading towards the UK. In numerous conversations I had with “people from the street” it was always said that things were getting worse and worse in their country and that everything had changed for the worse at the moment. There were even tears and the most used word was “(Brexit) lie”. As an Anglicist, I got the impression that the so-called Brexit, with all the perfidious promises, was actually a putsch by the English upper class, a privileged upper class that is still clinging to its old imperial fantasies. Their clown and Eton snob Johnson and his predecessors then did the work in learned dialectical rhetoric. The “common people”, the underprivileged classes, are now footing the bill. With their know-it-all attitude, they have always been a brake on the policy of European unification – which, in its founding idea, is a peace project. And with Brexit, this idea was also thrown overboard, actually a betrayal of the whole of Europe! In addition to the euro and open Schengen borders, the EU social charter, which sets minimum social standards, was also actively boycotted. This is probably one of the reasons why there is an uneducated and proletarian underclass that is so unknown to us today, who are disciplined with obedience exercises and a strict loyalty to the Queen and “cheaply fobbed off” with a lot of football and weekend binges. I am back home, content and safe, and I invite all critics of the European Community to jet across the Channel for a brief visit. I don’t feel any malicious joy towards the kingdom, no, rather anger arises, because the bill for this arrogance is paid here by the weakest and the poorest.
