A Take on the BREXIT Vote
BU has ascertained from correspondents that an atmosphere of disbelief pervades the United Kingdom today in the wake of the Leave vote. In the last two weeks, most people, on whatever side of the divide, have felt that Remain would prevail. The Remain campaign leaders (headed by PM Cameron) had booked the venue for a victory celebration, a booking that had to be cancelled. Meanwhile, the Leave campaign had no celebratory plans. They didn’t think they would have anything to celebrate. Meanwhile in Brussels, the atmosphere, as far as we are able to discern, is total shock. The Brussels leaders are now apportioning all blame to David Cameron on the basis that he ought never have given the British electorate the right to vote in referendum on a matter of such vital importance. They claim that the UK parliament has “sovereignty” in these matters.
It is clear from the UK press that the campaign was strongly contested and, sadly, as we can see from the BBC, even after the electorate has made its will known, the contest continues. The PM has announced that he is stepping down and it is clear that Boris Johnson is the frontrunner to replace him.
On several occasions, Remain MPs have said that surely the electorate will not support a government of which “Boris the Buffoon” is PM and they have even derided the Lord Chancellor, Michael Gove whose background could best be described as humble. Mr Gove’s father had a fish shop in Aberdeen and educated his son with his meagre financial means to become Lord Chancellor of Britain, instead of the golden backgrounds and education at Eton College enjoyed by David Cameron and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osbourne and, incidentally, the same Boris Johnson who happens to be the child of Turkish immigrants.
But whatever the results, BU takes no position on either Remain or Leave. What we do look at, however, is the likely result of Brexit on the Commonwealth, more narrowly on the Region and narrowing our perspective again, on Barbados.
Specifically, in Barbados we used to have a sugar industry, but the EU contributed heavily to its demise, so that now we are entirely dependent on tourism and foreign investment and off-shore banking. One of those scarcely exists any longer and the other fluctuates wildly. Regionally, an examination of EU Rules shows that there are no less than 4 EU directives on bananas, ranging from their curvature to other completely irrelevant requirements. So our banana-producing neighbours are subject to the dictates of Brussels in their traditional supply of bananas to the UK.
It is instructive that many years before Boris Johnson became a politician and while he was a journalist with the UK’s Telegraph Newspaper, he was already bemoaning the fact that the UK had side lined the Commonwealth in order to meet its obligations to the EU. As a politician, Mr Johnson’s position did not change and as one of the Leave leaders, he has been vocal in his desire to enter a far closer association with the Commonwealth, a sentiment echoed by Mr Gove and many others on the Leave side who alone have recognised and publicized the role played in the National Health Service by health professionals from the Commonwealth, many of them from Barbados, while the Remain camp has seemed obsessed solely with the “Johnny-come-lately’s” from the EU. Mr Johnson and Mr Gove have been at pains to make it clear that they want immigration, but not unlimited immigration from the EU, but rather to open up immigration to the Commonwealth. As we know, the promises and opinions of politicians are often written in the sand with a tidal wave approaching. However, these views did not depend on political expediency when they were stated, but have the appearance of being convictions. So maybe Her Majesty will not be alone now in holding the Commonwealth, from the British position, together any longer and she, at age 90, will finally have some assistance within the executive of the UK.
Then there is Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister who, among the expedient politicians, certainly takes the cake today. Ms Sturgeon, having lost a Scottish referendum for independence from the UK just two years ago, is now stating that another referendum is now “on the table”. It has transpired that in France Marine le Pen, the leader of the National Front, is the frontrunner in the imminent French presidential elections and has made it clear that she will hold a referendum to bring France out of the EU and the polls show 68% of the French electorate want to leave the EU. Poland too wants out. So does the Netherlands. Ditto Denmark and Portugal. And most importantly, Germany is heading that way as well. So, if Ms Sturgeon does manage to extract Scotland from the UK on the basis of Scotland remaining a part of the EU, she may well be leaving the UK and its vital (to Scotland) subsidies (given the near collapse of North Sea Oil) just in time to help preside over the demise of the EU and then not be able to participate, or have to negotiate to participate, in the UK’s new trade deals globally and with the Commonwealth.
There is going to be a vacuum that may well be of great benefit to the Commonwealth, Region and Barbados and maybe we should be looking at optimising our possible advantages and look to fill a part of that vacuum, instead of bemoaning the inevitable demise of a super state advantageous only to multi-national bankers, investors and corporations.

Wait, please wait, let us stop and stare. Are we hearing right or is this the ghost of the Bajan Banquo (possessed by the spirit of the dead King David, son of Thomp) returned to haunt ac the reincarnated Lady Macbeth?
Is ac losing faith in her leader Lord Fumble? Was ac- a confessed but still confused member of that dangerous lying party inner sanctum- not briefed by the master himself that the Brexit would have absolutely no effect on the Bajan economy?
None whatsoever, even if the large but fast disappearing community of returning nationals will soon be experiencing a significant drop in their pension incomes which normally find their way directly into the Bajan economy (Q in the Community and all those utility companies) and into the country’s foreign reserves to prop up the indigenous Bajan conspicuous consumption life style?
Poor Lord Fumble- the not-in-touch idiot- cannot even see that the people from Britain who have been visiting their little cosy England away from home for the past 40 years are themselves heading for another paradise of permanent residence.
They themselves are just ‘waiting for God’ for their final journey.
Who will replace them when the tourism numbers shit hits the foreign reserves fan?
And don’t expect the British taxpayers to foot the pension bills for those returned nationals born in the 1930’s and about to do a final and complete Bar-exit.
We are not dealing with a corrupt UK government which would continue to pad its pension roll with ghosts as is nicely done in many African republics where ghost employees are in regular receipt of a monthly salary.

It used to be that a pound and a half of meat was considered enough to serve a family of eight or ten.
And later in the week we ate…
Soup was sure to be on the menu, with corn dumplings or cassava dumplins, and pumpkin and carrots, and yellor or free split peas.
And coo-coo with some kind of fish, with a cucumber and pear salad, and a slice of sweet potato
And stew food, whatever was available in the ground or in the market, yam, breadfruit, sweet potato, pumpkin, carrots, cabbage, some spinach from offa de paling, string beans all served with a small quantity of fish or meat.
Then there was breadfruit coo coo, always with a serving of string beans on the side. The string beans would stick to the side of the coo coo.
And green banana coo coo.
Repeat next week, and the next week, and so forth.
And half an hour walks to the bus stops.
This was good eating and good living.
But hardly anybody eats like that anymore.
Hardly anybody lives like that anymore.
We have traded that good food and that good life for greasy fried chicken and chips, salt laden rotis, salt laden pizza etc., over salty pudding and souse every Saturday, and a car at every door. We have arrived man.
