After Brexit

British conservative politician and Eurosceptic Daniel Hannan speaks out on Jolly Ol' England post-Brexit:

Well, I have to say almost all of the predictions of woe that we were given during the campaign have turned out to be nonsense. We were told that house prices would collapse, but they’ve risen. We were told that unemployment would go up by half a million. It’s fallen every month; there’s now more people in work than ever before in U.K. history. We were told that exports would stutter, that manufacturing would collapse. Both have risen. We were told that there would be a technical recession in 2016. We, in fact, grew faster in the six months after the vote than we had in the six months before and finished 2016 as the fastest growing major economy in the world. We were told that there would be a stock exchange collapse. We weren’t told that that would be the Italian stock exchange, and that British stocks would be the strongest performing in Europe.

In other words, kicking the Eurocrat parasites to the curb and reclaiming their national identity (what the Muslims have left of it, anyway) turns out to be the best thing Brits have done since Wellington kicked Napoleon's ass up betwixt his shoulder blades. Who would have seen that coming? Oh, right; everybody with a functioning brain. Which leaves socialists out in the cold, of course.

On every measure, it’s worked out well. The bizarre thing is that people are so locked into which side they were on during the referendum that a number of people just won’t see the good news, and will carry on obsessively repeating and retweeting every prediction, every forecast that suggests that things are going to get worse in defiance of all the good news of the last 500 days that they just choose not to see. By the way, at the top of that list even more deranged than our own remainers, is The New York Times, who are describing a world that no one in Britain recognizes.

No surprise. The New York Times lives in a world no one recognizes. Never exactly a paragon of facts, the Times is now nothing more than a mouthpiece for leftist propaganda. The paper has been in receivership for years and would have failed long ago absent being propped up by wealthy powermongers like that Nazi collaborator George Soros.

As for those British citizens who obstinately refuse to see that things are getting better after leaving the doomed-to-fail European Union... Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you may have to drown the stupid fucker in the end.
