About this ebook

This book was written principally in response to the Brexit earthquake, but also as a comment on some of the quirks of Britain and the Western World in general. From the decline of the British high street, the increase in impersonal interactions between the population, the increasingly mechanical nature of the moviemaking world - these are just some of the topics covered here.

I'm also distributing this book free of charge as an introduction to my work, and as an attempt to get people thinking, amused, or both.

Please be aware all opinions are those of the author and he respects yours too!

L R Buxton

I am a writer from the Midlands (born in Worcester) with a liking for classic farce, contemporary fantasy and psychological thrillers.I went to university in Southampton, which fuelled my ideas for the "Mandy And The Missing" series.Among my influences (from both the printed word and on-screen entertainment) I would count classic (1963-1989) Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Ultraviolet (the TV series), JRR Tolkien, Tom Sharpe and Fritz Leiber. I also enjoy biogs of famous actors, musicians and authors.For my hobbies I enjoy motorsport, football, debate, politics, socialising, visiting interesting cathedrals and places of interest, and going to music gigs and literary festivals.

    About The Author and Other Books

    INTRODUCTION

    Welcome all of you who have been kind enough to buy this e-book.

    This is simply a collection of my thoughts on life in Brexit Britain, both in terms of how things seem to have changed politically and also the hobbies, the characters and the little ways of life. It’s only when one looks back at the start of the journey that one realises how long the road is that’s just been travelled, and I wanted to give you a chance to hear my thoughts, for what they’re worth.

    This e-book is free and I appreciate your custom; however please do peruse my fictional works, the details of which are at the end of this e-book.

    Thanks, and happy reading.

    Laurence Buxton.

    BREXIT: (A DISUNITED KINGDOM) PART 1.

    That was the reaction of virtually everyone (with expletives optionally added) when Britain voted to come out of the European Union, regardless of whether they voted in, out or remained uncommitted. Going to bed that night, as a proud Remainer, the ‘as gracious as possible’ Nigel Farage conceded with a promise to have a second vote if the vote was close. A promise which, as it turns out, he hasn’t exactly shown an enormous desire to fulfil.

    I am a Remoaner. By the very process of writing this, I am Remoaning. Like someone being evicted from their flat, hanging on by the fingertips to the doorframe for just a few more seconds, I didn’t want to leave the EU. As I was born the year after we initially joined the EU is what I’ve known us be part of for my whole life. And perhaps that’s something which the hardcore Leavers don’t quite get – that to us, the break-up of the EU is in many ways as dangerous as the
