It’s looking like we’ll have a Tory-ruled fiefdom for England

• IT is becoming clearer by the day that the words Brexit plus Corbyn will be poisoning British politics for years to come.

If it is correct that bodies like Momentum have waited 40 years for their day in the sun, in terms of the Labour Party, this applies equally to the Brextremists of the Conservatives.

That this Ukip / right-wing element is now in complete control of that party seems to have escaped attention; but given the tendencies of most of the national media this should come as no great shock.

Despite claims there was nothing racist about the majority vote, it is very obvious the anti-Europe vote was based primarily on immigration.

However if those voting the way of the majority expect that problems of health, housing, education, etc, are going to vanish any time soon, they will quickly find out just what “getting our borders and laws back”, etc will mean.

The government policies of both Labour and Conservative parties that should be blamed for most of our national troubles will not change; if anything they will be accelerated and exacerbated.

The likely majority for Theresa May will in turn lead to England as a Tory-ruled fiefdom as much as Scotland is that of the SNP, with this reinforced by Labour going into the wilderness or even disappearing after the next boundary changes that will strongly favour the Tories.

Many of us will remember Conservative MPs queueing up to bleat about needing a viable Labour opposition. What a sham this is will be revealed. The intention was to help split Labour into its pro- and anti- Jeremy Corbyn groups and little else.

Then there are the effects of globalisation and the even more unstated but coming effects of robotisation to consider: but then those people wanting to bring in euthanasia by the back door will provide future governments a way out of this.

What starts as voluntary may become compulsory in the years to come as more and more of us become non-productive units (that is, older).
