England’s biggest Loss after Brexit
By: Karsten Riise
The biggest loss for England after Brexit is their pathetic lack of direction - lack of leadership.
The whole English people’s lack of knowing themselves, lack of facing the situation THEY themselves and nobody else has created for them.
Ever since they went into EEC (later EU) the English have ballyhooed craving a “special status” for England in Europe. For no particular reason, actually, except that the English believed that they of all people on the Earth were sooo special.
Now they got their way – and they crack up.
The Labour party is cracking up. The conservative party is cracking up. And even more telling: The loud-shouting “nay-sayers” are cracking up, not wanting to face the responsibility of their own “leave” campaign - even with big-Boris quitting.
Gone is the “stiff upperlip” – nowhere to be seen.
Imagine the lack of respect this self-made chaos and pathetic run-for-the-door in England engenders in the world. Particularly among former colonial countries in Asia and Africa. Like China, India, South Africa, Nigeria, Malaysia, Singapore, Iraq. Exactly those markets which England now for lack of the EU will depend more upon.
Face-saving is always important – especially in Asia and Africa.
Englishmen (and women!) right now are more than anything not losing money, or wealth, but something much more important – they are losing face.
