I agree with George Eaton in The New Statesman, Brexiteers only have themselves to blame for the UK’s disastrous fate.
The New Statesman
The promises made my Leave were never deliverable, because their ambitions were never in the country’s interests. Leave’s ambition were entirely personal. They were motivated entirely by delusions, personal ambition, and greed. It’s what happens when you let the debating societies of public schools loose in the real world. They wreck the restaurant and get to walk away, what does it matter if someone else is paying?
George Eaton’s assessment of our imminent crash out of the European Union its me in mind of a line from the Sex Pistols “God save the queen” that predicts “no future, And England’s dreaming”.
The rest of the John Lydon’s lyrics could’ve been about written for the occasion.
God save the queen The fascist regime They made you a moron A potential H bomb
God save the queen She’s not a human being and There’s no future And England’s dreaming
Don’t be told what you want Don’t be told what you need There’s no future No future No future for you
God save the queen We mean it man We love our queen God saves
God save the queen ‘Cause tourists are money And our figurehead Is not what she seems
Oh God save history God save your mad parade Oh Lord God have mercy All crimes are paid
Oh when there’s no future How can there be sin We’re the flowers In the dustbin We’re the poison In your human machine We’re the future Your future
God save the queen We mean it man We love our queen God saves
God save the queen We mean it man There’s no future In England’s dreaming God save the queen
