We made an anti-Brexit greeting card in the style of a film poster. The text in light blue, dark blue, and black is set against a plain white background. And the text reads; ‘We Need To Talk About Brexit’, and described as ‘A masterful blend of drama and horror’. The drama gets four stars, so it must be good!
Why We Need To Talk About It
The card is of course inspired by the psychological drama, ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’. And in the same way that We Need to Talk About Kevin is about a horrific act, so Brexit is a horrific prospect. Not just horrific, but pointless in its absurdity. What country would give up the benefits of being a major player in one of the world’s biggest tariff-free clubs? And what country would give it up for the uncertain uncharted waters as a minor player in the big league? Well, we are finding out.
The Way Ahead
The way seem strewn with rocks. Johnson, the former prime minister is already on record insulting the president of Britain’s biggest prospective trading partner. Moreover he was heading a cabinet that is intent on piling more Chinese technology on an existing technology. And all that while being told by the USA that it would cause a breach in relations and lesson the prospect of any trade deal. Well we know now how they pulled back from the brink of that folly.
High Drama
If that were not enough there is the fact that trade deals take an average of seven years to conclude. How is Britain supposed to manage in the interim? In days of old we could send Drake out to pillage the West Indies and the ships of Spain and France. But now in the 21st century? What are the prospects other than high drama? And that is why we made Drama, a tale that needs talking about.
