Sad about Brexit

I am still very sad about Brexit and I am worried about our economic future as an isolated country led by bullish but unreasonable men. I do mean men, because although Theresa May is a woman I feel she is not so much a leader as "oil and grease" between factions who can't bear each other. It is a great shame they are all Conservatives as they have a group mindset of being "winners" (like Donald Trump, their worst word is "loser") and they are too arrogant to listen to each others' bluster, let alone other points of view. Theresa May cares more about the Conservative party than she does about the U.K. She has been focused on that party for so long she simply can't see beyond it; which is why Brexit is being done badly. She can only see that her own party has Big Players (like Davis and Johnson and Gove) and that they must be involved in Brexit for her own security, but the fact that they might be the very worst team she can field internationally doesn't cloud her mind.

I am very disappointed in the Labour Party, who do want to present an alternative but have got it in their heads that European Union = Capitalism = bad. The European government is very strong in mitigating the effects of capitalism, with all its wonderful employment legislation and regulations about medications and foodstuffs and pollution and all kinds of things. That's how it has been good for us.

I believe many jobs will leave the country from the City and from European traders and we shall be much worse off. The rich will not feel the impact at all because their wealth can be stored anywhere, in any country's business, and so they will always be safe. I wish the Labour Party understood a great deal about wealth creation. I wish they would take lessons in economics. I am afraid they are a bunch of dreamers.

I might add things I'm reading online to this post. Here's one from Twitter:

The issue is that, to many who voted for #Trump or #Brexit, it feels like the first time they ever won. Many now see that the prize was a pie made of shit, but it's still the only thing they ever won. So they're determined to eat it, make yummy noises and insist we all have some.
