Trump, EU vote, Globalisation. Versus the truth.

Trump has exposed the fears of people who are suffering from globalisation. The EU voted out because of people who are suffering from globalisation.

The last 50 years has seen the majority of people's living standard in the West fall and unless there's a big change they will continue to fall.

Yet the Establishment, Elite and Experts, the 3Es, tell everyone we have to suck it up so they can keep getting richer. We haver the EU and UK politicians saying that if the UK wants to continue to trade with the EU they have to accept the rules of the EU on migration. The same rules that have lowered many people's incomes and raised their rents. Any attempt to control non-EU migration is met with shouts of racism.

Jobs are going to the Third World, with little done to stop them or tax imports to make up for the loss of jobs and financial loss.

The result is more poverty which breeds more fear, hate and crime.

The pity is Trump is unlikely to win and not the man to make any difference. He's part of the problem.
