It’s an extremely complicated argument but I’d like to make the following points. Firstly that the Referendum hasn’t created divisions within British society so much as exposed those that were already lurking below the surface. For example the way that, without any real evidence, Leave voters were branded thick, uneducated, knuckle-dragging bigots etc., who didn’t know what we were voting for. Now we know what “they”, the Camerons, Osbornes Bransons and Geldofs, the Emma Thompsons really think of us. Having said that, many of the clues were already there in the excuses given for employing cheap labour from Eastern Europe – the British were perfectly happy on benefits (some of us were very far from being so), too lazy and unmotivated to do those jobs, never mind that we were never given the choice in the first place, many such vacancies being advertised abroad. No, it was, and is, all about MONEY, concentrating it into the hands of fewer and fewer people. The fat cats haven’t had to put up with the conditions the rest of us have, overcrowding of the infrastructure, the increasing difficulty of accessing NHS services etc. Hopefully Teresa May appreciates the impossibility of keeping the lid on this simmering cauldron for much longer.
