The EU referendum and cheap, chiseling, low rent, snake oil salesmen

Wednesday 20 April 2016.

Dear Mr Cameron,

The EU debate is an absolute shambles and it is a shambles formulated by your party, with malicious intent to deceive, befuddle and bewilder and to create fear and uncertainty. As such it is unforgivable.

According to George Osborne people who support trading outside of the EU are “economically illiterate”, his 14 year projection is that everyone in Britain would be £4,300 worse off by 2030. Which is not bad going when he can’t manage a single accurate annual projection in his budgets.

Priti Patel (a second-generation migrant) blames migrants for the “crisis” of our “broken school system”, as Shadow Education Secretary Lucy Powell put it. There is only one reason that our education system is in crisis, it’s called The Tories. Under Michael Gove and now the entirely vacant eyed Nicky Morgan, that we have a functioning education system at all is down to staff dedication and nothing to do with government as Morgan attempts to privatise the entire system.

Gove and now Morgan are responsible for literally giving away tens of billions of pounds worth of school properties, robbing the nation blind, as one blogger put it, it’s ‘ideological vandalism of the education system’. Not too many migrants to blame for any of that then.

Meanwhile Gove reckons Britain’s trade and financial systems would ‘thrive’ if we left the EU and we’ve had your £9 million leaflet (I hope you’ve enjoyed the returns) to say how hunky we’d all be if we stayed.

What it all comes down to is a farce put on by a bunch of cheap, chiseling, low rent, snake oil salesmen. We’d be better off if you were all put in a sack with a few of anvils for company and dropped from a great height into the Mariana Trench. And, actually, that holds true whether there is an EU referendum or not.
