🇬🇧 🇪🇺 Nick Clegg on Brexit “One of the tragedies of Brexit - we voted to go it alone almost exactly at the point in history when going it alone makes less sense than ever, as the world has become dominated by rivalry between US 🇺🇸 and China 🇨🇳 “We are poorer, weaker, less safe, and, here’s the great irony, less sovereign.” “The promise that Brexit would allow us to take back control has instead left us with less control over our destiny than, I would argue, at any time in the last several centuries.”

🇬🇧 Nick Clegg pinpoints tangible British exception: “No other country has punched itself in the face quite so forcefully over the last 10 to 20 years.” Britain suffered the 2008 financial crisis like everyone else, then chose to give ourselves another major economic shock through Brexit. That’s why “Project Fear” now looks much closer to “Project Reality.”

😡 ✅ I share Nick Clegg’s anger about Brexit: “I’m angry because I know that many of the people who propagated that lie were smart enough to know it wasn’t true. Forget the £350 million on the side of the bus. The fundamental assertion was that you would have more control over your own fate by leaving the European Union. 🤥 All of those things are lies. We deal with all of those issues better by working with others.” Geography hasn’t changed. We will always be next to France, Belgium and the Netherlands … not Connecticut.
