Archive link for those of us in the customs union.
Uh oh 😳. It’s Wes Streeting whom we all hate because of NHS. But he wants us to rejoin the Custom’s Union. Fuck! How do we choose? Will it be a path to rejoining or will it be in fighting and dogma? 🫠😜.
Yeah I have to agree that simply labeling people as this is reductive and doesn’t help things. There are valid reasons for not being in the EU from a left wing perspective, and the reasons for voting for Brexit are wide. I believe that it was wrong of us to leave. But we shouldn’t simply attack and insult people for voting for us to leave when there are various longstanding socioeconomic conditions that have led to it. Racism/xenophobia was a big factor, sure, and the people that voted for it based off that are bad. But it’s far from the only reason. The problem is that so much of our situation, or what could have been our situation, has been put down to us being in/not being in the EU. We can address those socioeconomic conditions that led to the leave vote winning without being in the EU. Unfortunately we haven’t had a government since the vote that’s been willing to do what needs to be done
