Brexit - the least of our problems

Sorry Theresa May, sorry Donald Tusk and all the others involved in Brexit and the future of Europe etc, but this is small beer compared to what else is going on in the world. North Korea and its demotic leader Kim Jong-un are trying to wind up the world into a frenzy with their madcap nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programmes, Trump is vowing to go it alone in dealing with Pyongyang - heaven help us what that means - Putin and Assad are engaged in trying to kill as many Syrian rebels as possible before Isis is driven from Raqqa, using chemical weapons - well one or other gave the order that killed dozens of men, women and children early today - and hunger in Sudan is destroying a whole nation. The world is going murderously crazy. It's a time when all right-minded people and nations should stick together. And we, the still just United Kingdom, are breaking away from Europe and going it alone. It is total utter madness. The negotiations haven't even started and already there's bickering, snide remarks, hostility, rebuffs, enmity. Tusk always looks like he has a bad taste in his mouth. Theresa is doing her best to put together something she opposed not that long ago, but as of today I can see it all going horribly wrong. We'll end up with a messy, messy, very expensive divorce that does no one any good. When we all need to be holding hands to stand up to Isis and Kim Jong-un and Putin and Assad, we're flapping around, stamping our feet like spoiled brats and trying to split Europe from top to bottom. I like Boris, our foreign secretary, always have done, but does he really honestly believe that breaking away from Europe is in the UK's best interest? Does he? Do you, Boris? I don't think Theresa does. The only one who seems to be fanatically pleased with the whole idea is Michael Gove, and I know he has a good brain. So what's he thinking? Does he sleep well at night? Does he not know that this country is doing the most outrageously stupid thing? We need unity, we need friends, we need our European family of nations. We need strong allies. And what is Brexit doing? Making all our friends and allies in Europe pissed off with us. But Brexit is way down the list of things going wrong right now. In Pyongyang, Kim is plotting to end the world, and probably laughing at all the Brexiteers.
