Britain, or at least the things that all assume makes Britain, Britain is being dismantled bit by bit by 650 liars and actors in London fronting a cabal of mandarins who are disciples of the cause and let's not forget the thousands of local 'politicians' and mandarins who together dismantle Britain at a local level.<br /><br />It's all going terribly well except people are slowly but slowly waking up to it all. In truth they are not sure what if anything they can do about it but they are at least waking up.<br /><br />I am not in the least bit pessimistic for the future and as much as people would like an 'orderly exit from the EU I feel it will happen without warning triggered by an unforeseen circumstance.

The result will be sooner or later the end of the mail service. No more door to door delivery, no more paper letters, and parcels delivered by private courier only.<br />Postmen are very underpaid, exploited workers and those who work in the few remaining sorting offices and Royal Mail administration are pretty fed up too. They have been squeezed and pushed to the wall. Meanwhile local post offices are run by managers with franchises, which they can use to make private profits - some of them by sticky methods, or so one hears. <br />You can only expect bullshit from the Mirror, but I am disappointed that even the Daily Mail has not got the guts to put the blame for this where it belongs - on the EU.Julia Gasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13295592860919659533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-68180808787742978522013-09-13T11:10:56.204+01:002013-09-13T11:10:56.204+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Julia Gasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13295592860919659533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-17207323072460316332013-09-13T08:50:14.816+01:002013-09-13T08:50:14.816+01:00Well, Kenneth Williams certainly had a point, but ...Well, Kenneth Williams certainly had a point, but George Orwell went to the heart of things :-<br /><br />"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."<br /><br />The boot, of course, will be made within the EU since China and Russia will no longer deal with the totally corrupt Western world!Ian Enoreply@blogger.com
