Brexit was a courageous revolution against a British establishment that across the spectrum had few ideas except what has become the default liberal mode of making government bigger, more comprehensive and less representative. The establishment did not want it and once put in charge of implementing it, deliberately fumbled it and now the formal dismantling of Brexit begins.

PM Keir Starmer virtue signaled empty promises about removing some migrants, one of the inciting issues in the UK as it is in the US, to begin the process of ‘resetting’ relations with Europe. The reset will eventually take things back right to where they were. The initial trade talks may seem modest, but the EU began with a seemingly modest economic relationship long before there was talk of running everything out of Brussels.

The establishment played the long game and the comprehensive corruptibility of everyone, including the legitimate and legitimate opposition, made it all too easy.

‘This time it’ll be different,’ the population is being assured. The only thing different will be that it will be worse.

But the establishment allowed the peasants to have their little rebellion, patted them on the heads, ‘proved’ to them that their way is unworkable, laid the blame on disgraced officials no longer in office and on ‘populist demagogues’ who misled the people, and then set about getting back on track.

That’s how it works in the most ‘democratic’ parts of the world. Including in the U.S.

Brexit was not the issue, it was a symptom of the issue. The British no longer rule themselves. And they didn’t start ruling themselves with Brexit. To much of the British public, Brexit provided little in the way of meaningful self-government. When there’s not much difference between the parties, all of whom endorse Islamic rule, including Reform, and the subjugation of the people to elitist bureaucracies, the EU is just another name for the enduring globalist tyranny.
