AS WE SAID

March 8 2018
As I glance through a couple of years of thoughts I note several
consistencies-
1.The EU is awful and in
dire need of reform .
2.Enlightened self
interest demands UK Remains
3. So does unenlightened
3.An element of the
ruling class and parts of the population are unaware Empire Nostalgists.
4.The government is
clueless in its negotiation posture
5.Labour would be no
better
6.The majority of the
elected parliament would clearly vote remain
7.The majority of the
unelected parliament[house of lords] would clearly vote remain
8.The fat lady has not
sung.
9.She never will.
10 UK may exit, but only
in name only not in substance--leaving it within the market, with all of it obligations
and no vote.
The
worst of both worlds🙈
Apparently CYCLOPS has made prognoses and predictions about
BREXIT in almost 40 posts in the last 3 years.
- HRH finds them notable by their consistency.
- This week should validate their accuracy.
- The significant caveat is that CYCLOPS underestimated how long it would take to get to the Denouement.
We posted a sampling in December 2018 under the tile: BREXIT PREDICTIONS REDUX https://kingcyclops.blogspot.com/2018/12/june-24-2016-day-after-referendum.html These included
various post from June 2016 onwards
October 11, 2016
- Cyclops derides the MAY government’s decision to trigger Article 50 and to begin the fuse running for exit.
- This before defining its strategy or its objectives beyond the asinine “Brexit means Brexit|"
- Before elections in France, Germany, Italy and Holland!
- She gave away her best negotiating cards by signaling the timing of the start of formal exit and
- Appearing to abandon a determination to stay in the European Single Market
November,5 2016 BREXIT -THE FAT LADY IS NOT SINGING Cyclops doubles down on
his predictions:
“..The fat lady has gone on
vacation.
King Cyclops predicts Britain will stay in the
single market
and may not even leave the EU"
WE ain't leaving
the EU---not Really.
Cyclops
concluded with:
- In any event the UK will change its mind.
- Legitimise the about turn either through another referendum.
- One person,one vote, one time is truly Stalinist----this Jezza and the boys understand.
- Or through a series of parliamentary votes
- Or a crisis election.
THE
FAT LADY WILL NEVER SING.
26 September 2018 Another Year Later PREDICTIONS
Pretty much the same just
reworded:
- The fat lady will NOT sing.
- She will not be fooled by a Canadian /Norwegian/Swiss or Montenegrin Solution.
- Brexit will NOT mean Brexit.
- There will be a "Peoples Vote" in one
form or another.
- That's a 2nd referendum.
- This is the only remaining road to Salvation. Unless of course Brexiteers follow the logic of their own rhetoric:
- Call for Parliament to decide.
- On a free vote by each member.
- Each then subject to the judgment of her/his
constituents.
- A return to British Representative Democracy.
- Through the will of Parliament.
