Since the country voted to leave the EU it has taken 18 months to reclaim the British passport and change from Burgundy to blue (the old passport was such a dark blue as to be usually mistaken for black). At this rate it'll take us decades to negotiate trading deals around the world.
Even if the UK goes its own way, the idea that we've got sovereignty over our parliament is patent bollocks. As long as the rest of the world, including the USA and Europe, operate neoliberal economies, we are ruled by capitalism.
Leaving the EU will simply allow capitalism to operate easier. Employment rights will be whittled away. Health and Safety rules relaxed. Civil rights eroded. The NHS will become the Virgin Health Service.
But none of this will hit the Farages of this world. No.
But all you Brexiteers who work or depend wholly on a state pension and don't have private medical health insurance, you can rest assured. You can rest assured that while employed precariously with no H&S or equalities protection and without health insurance, that you'll have a lovely blue passport - if you can fucking afford one, or even need one as cheap flights to Europe end.
