Free Again How It Began

BREXIT the background
Posturing politicians pursuing their pompous persona,oblivious of the obvious, contemptuous of the common man,and common sense that therein abides.Such bella-donnas,a deadly night-shade in their braying bubble poisoned our democracy  those hard won rights we and our forefathers sweated blood, tears & long years to achieve. Without a glance or referendum obliterated on the altar of ego,subsumed to the domination of the bureaucratic oligarchy of Brussels.O England,my fair land,once laid bare ,now on Jan 1 free to be,again

Caren Krutsinger Date: 12/26/2020 3:30:00 AM "such bella-donas" - this sounds so familiar, and it is happening in the UK as well. No doubt about "wanting to be free again". I get that! You have my empathy and sympathy Brian. Well penned!
