Subject: Hatred of Johnny Foreigner
When those closest to you feel so aggrieved there has to be something wrong and what is wrong is their brothers willingness to gamble his country for the short term gains of the biggest 'short' laid against a country since George Soros shorted the pound in the 1970s.
When you are prepared to gamble your countries financial prosperity and the prosperity of the bulk of its citizens then you know the ethical depths some people in the Tory Party are prepared to sink. From that weird specimen Rees-Mogg to Steve Baker, Dominic Raab, David Davis, Andrew Bridgen, Ian Duncan Smith, all desperate Brexiteers, to the 'dark money' in the city who thrive of financial instability.
Would it be fair to accuse those Torys of having 'skin in the game', or is it purely an ideological hatred of Johnny Foreigner.
The sums just don't add up for it being only ideological, coming out of our largest market and tying so much of our future financial prosperity on a trade deal with Donald Trumps America. There has to be either an inbred schism lying at the heart of their thinking, an island mentality where history has bred a distrust of continental Europe.
The people who voted to leave Europe did so after having had years of anti European propaganda from our own press, thrown at them day in and day out. Having stood years of Tory cut backs, the dire vision of future prosperity has developed in the poor outside the South a "it couldn't be worse" mentality and the referendum gave them a chance to kick the established political opinion. Sadly the same source of political ideology, the Conservative Party reinvented itself and did a 180 degree U turn in lending their support to Boris Johnson who was prepared to back any course of action if it gave him the opportunity to move into Number 10.
