SANDHEDEN OM BREXIT af ANNE EMILIE HANSEN, ROSE STEEN MIKKELSEN, & BENEDIKTE GRUNDTVIG
Sandheden skal man høre fra børn og fulde folk. Vores to rapportere fandt sig selv berusede i London, og har derfor hørt folkemængden, hvordan de i virkeligheden har forholdt sig til Brexit. FULDE BRITER OM ÅRSAGERNE TIL BREXIT
Bo: Brexit’s not done on the NHS (det britiske sundhedsvæsen, red.) though, Brexit was immigration. It was a one issue fucking vote.
James: The NHS was a large talking point with regards to the election. Stanley: I get it – there are huge waiting lines, therefore I’m going to vote to get these people out of the country. I get it, I get it.
James: It all ties into whether you look at yourself as a European country or if you tie yourself to the Commonwealth. Our alliance shifts with who’s causing immigration pressure.
Stanley: Skill-based entry. The reality is that at the moment we have large traction of these from the EU. Union leaders who voted leave now realize that 95% of their workers are from the EU. British people don’t want to pick fruit – they think they’re above it. Bo: The EU and Brexit has no ties to the NHS. No one thought so. It was a vote about immigration.

Stanley: The most important thing about Brexit is, that the people it spoke to, the people who voted for it, felt like they hadn’t had their voices heard for decades, for a really long time, it’s like Trump you know. It’s the same thing as with the national front, like the right-wing fascist, rose in the 80’s. It’s the same kind of feeling. There are communities who feel like they haven’t been heard. If there’s an opportunity to break the cycle, they’re going to do it. That’s the problem with populism. The content doesn’t matter, it’s about breaking up the status quo. James: Brexit is a populist thing. Bo: They just throw out numbers, like with the NHS, that number was a lie – insignificant. Stanley: It’s terrible. Pure populism.
