Brexit Hung Drawn & Quartered?
Just a few thoughts I had to get off my chest this morning.
• Or they simply never intended to win an outright majority
The Ponderer Returns
The EU would be a great idea if it was run by people with our best interests at heart, unfortunately it isn’t. It’s all about the age old pursuit of power and the slow but steady erosion of rights and democracy. The propaganda surrounding the EU has ensured that it’s now being marketed as something young and trendy. In fact the EU is run (for the most part) by faceless bureaucratic suits who have freed themselves from the political chains of democracy.
The mere fact I’m voting out may lead some to think I’m approaching this from a right wing ideology (whilst perhaps missing the point that TTIP is as right wing as it gets) so just to clarify I’m neither right or left wing. I find the entire concept to be a cul-de-sac for the mind and as such I have freed myself from the constraints and idealism of both political persuasions.
To all the people obsessing and pouring over economic charts and blogs like a teenage boy who’s found a copy of razzle (showing my age now lol) I’ll let you into a secret … they never get it right! They failed to predict the stock market crash, the great depression, the dot com bubble, the financial crash and they fail to see what is now in front of their eyes.
To all the people that believe a remain vote is in some way a revolution against the British establishment please understand that both sides of this argument are well covered, they always are. To all the people that hate the tory figure heads and everything they stand for, guess what you’re meant to. It’s the cult of personality politics and whilst you focus your attention and energy on the straw men handed down to you the real power structure continues unhindered from public scrutiny.
To all those that vote to remain because they are seeking fairer and more balanced world I respect your decision and we have the same goals. I just wish that the idealism and reality had a closer connection.
Ultimately whether you agree or disagree with anything I’ve said is of no consequence to me and has received no consideration by me. I speak a truth to the world as seen through my eyes and be that right or wrong I’m dammed if I’m going to view it through anyone else’s. C'est la vie and what will be will be.

I think all the Tories really want is to stay in the EU. I'll continue to vote ukip
@niallsemple Thanks for taking the time to comment my friend. Yes your completely right I think the powers that be will pull every trick in the book to make sure we don't leave the EU, even if we do it will be a compromised version of what we voted for.
i hate the fact that so many people voted to leave the EU. now no one seems bothered.
@niallsemple I think that's the plan, they realise and indeed rely on the fact that in this 24 hour news society people have short memories. Well some of us don't forget my friend, so we shall see how this all plays out. Thanks for commenting
it amazes me how many sheep are out there, no wonder they all expect governments to tell them what to do
Unfortunately, many people like to being told what to do and so fail to see the reality of this world.
well as far as i'm concerned always ask the question....... why?. it always stumps a lot of people
It sure does my friend, but the fact we're having this conversation now and on a platform like this goes to show that some of us are waking up. And that offers some hope for the future.
Brilliant! You expressed everything so thoroughly and so eloquently, that's all I can say. Well-said!
Thanks for your kind comments @eyeofthestorm After doing my homework on the EU (over several years) to hear the accusations of racist and stupid being bandied about by some who voted to remain was certainly a bitter pill to swallow, indeed it still is.
Great points made my friend. I must admit that following the Brexit vote I wondered how the real power structure would react to what appeared to be the first hint of genuine democracy in centuries. You have to admire them in a way those master manipulators, firstly Cameron has to fall on his sword because he was pro remain to be replaced by Theresa May who was er .... pro remain?? Boris disappears back into the shadows because he would easily of won the tory leadership and was pro Brexit and that would of ruined the script. Ive honestly watched more convincing episodes of Dynasty! The only real way to deal with this freakshow is to treat it with the disdain it deserves sit back and grab a huge bag of popcorn because real change is coming ........ 65 million people are about to realise that they have no pension, no savings, no health care system and the billions in taxes they have been paying all their lives would of been better off left in the care of the local crackhead ..... then we will see a "hung" Parliament, LITERALLY!
Yes my friend, I liken it to a game of chess only we're the pawns and the world is the board, Game of Thrones has nothing on this lot! The psychology of humanity has been studied intensely for generations and they know exactly what buttons to press and which levers to pull, they have weaponised idealism and indeed the very milk of human kindness itself, compassion. There are no easy answers in this world of smoke and mirrors but like yourself I can see things building and change coming. A change that will (I feel) eventually shake this country and indeed this world to the core, but it's always darkest before dawn.
I like that term of yours "weaponised idealism' , I'm sure your well aware that the real controllers of society are effecting human consciousness in the realm of cause and we only see effect. This is why nothing gets done and this is also why all institutions are essentially systems set up to trap us in "effect" , politics being one of several. So long as we never tackle "cause" we will always be victims of their desired "effect" , The Merovingian (representing the bloodlines) explains this point in the 2nd matrix movie!
Sorry my friend, I must have missed your reply yesterday. Oh yes I'm fully aware of cause and effect and it's relationship to psychology and consciouness, indeed the politicians are simply the straw men to absorb all our frustration and to keep us going round and round in circles. It kind of goes back to my username for if we have a flawed perception of the way the world really works then we will always be ten steps behind those that seek to manipulate us. But knowledge is power my friend, and I'm beginning to see an expansion of knowledge and consciousness all around me. Within the polarities of natural law and the eternal struggle for balance I understand that everything has a cyclical nature and in knowing and understanding that we can free ourselves from the shackles of fear. For in many ways times of great challenge are indicitive of an impending renaissance.
