Letter: Brexit benefits myth is being stretched thin

Unfortunately, none seem ready to accept that they’ve been metaphorically breeding, feeding and raising those dogs just yet, but it reminds me of the now legendary 2015 tweet that goes “’I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.” 

They voted to ‘end freedom of movement’ without the vaguest inkling that it would be THEIR freedom of movement that ended. 

OTHER NEWS:

• Residents mount passionate defence of the Welshpool Air Ambulance base at meeting
• Powys County Council accused of pricing itself out of scheme to tackle fuel poverty
• Over 250 acres of Powys land up for sale a 'rare opportunity' for buyers

They cry ‘woke!’ at anyone challenging their view, blissfully unaware that they’re led sleepily by the nose via self-proclaimed ‘patriotic’ newspapers owned offshore for tax purposes. 

They blame the ‘Metropolitan Elite’ for subverting democracy whilst voting for a party of privately educated millionaires that seem incapable of keeping their fingers out of dodgy pies. 

And now they want to leave the European Court of Human Rights so they can persecute refugees, clearly oblivious to the fact that they themselves are, indeed, humans with rights.

But ‘gone to the dogs’ is a start I suppose. 

The falsehoods are stretched so thin now that reality is clearly visible through it. Maybe, just maybe, there’s an awakening afoot and the days of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party are coming to a close? 

We can only hope, because until this ends, it only gets worse.
