I agree with John Kerry and I have been banging on all along saying there needs progressive thinking now more than ever by our political elite.
' US Secretary of State John Kerry warned in stark terms on his post-Brexit swoop into Europe that nobody should lose their head, or go off half-cocked, or "start ginning up scatter-brained or revengeful premises."
Nobody seemed to heed his words at the EU's imperial summit in Brussels, an exercise in righteous anger but not much else. The markets may yet speak in harsher language.
It is a sensible article. The problem facing all 28 countries is the attitude of the political elite who so far have not only disappointed but been downright petty, self serving and to be honest could well destroy the economies of the 28 European Union countries.
Why? to bludgeon the point home THEY, not the people they should be serving, THEY, insist on the free movement of people as their number one position in negotiating terms for brexit. They are putting the economy, trade and commerce to the back of their minds and that will be not only costly but destructive too.
I voted to remain in the referendum. It was a case of head over heart and a very close call which way I would vote. Seeing the puerile goings on I am thinking maybe my dislike of the EU and my perception of the way the EU functions for the political elite not the people I am thinking I should have voted leave because the ineptitude by the EU elite is striking.
