Angelic Intervention and Brexit

My word, I know that it is not just my perspective that we are in a right mess in the UK right now.

If government were a business, the senior management team would not allow half the management resource to be paid to obstruct (and they would all have to evidence skills, knowledge and strategic understanding for the areas they manage!). I have worked for some amazing organisations in my 52 years on this world, and worked with some phenomenal management teams. We achieved the best results when we worked together, when we used all of the skills available to us, and when we united behind a common goal and vision, even if this varied from our personal suggestions/visions.

We have had to change our vision for the future here at Angel Cottage! Every time we watch the lovely Angel and Dick Strawbridge in 'Escape to the Chateau' and dream about taking on such a project of our own, we bring ourselves back to earth with the thought of what impact Brexit will have on such adventures. We really hope that it does not hinder the intrepid Brits who have already made the move across the channel. We have stopped listening to our learn French CDs in the car and are looking for a run down farmhouse or manor house to restore a bit closer to home!

I strongly believe that Theresa May and her government should have invited Parliament to come together to put forward what Brexit should include so that all views were considered the day after Mr Cameron departed Number 10. I also think that somewhere in the process there should have been a follow up to the referendum which gathered information regarding why people voted as they did (leave and remain given that the vote was so close), so that key aspects of this could also have been part of the negotiations. The way Mr Corbyn is behaving however, we may not have been too much further on than we are now, but at least it would have been a more informed position to negotiate from.

But here we are, now in a position of crisis. I voted remain, but accept that the result was leave and I truly believe that is what we now should be doing. Not in a rush or to the detriment of businesses that keep our economy and people's lives, their ability to pay the bills, stable and secure, and not without careful planning. How can they even be thinking of making such a massive change in such a short amount of time? We put more detail and preparation into changing people's shifts in my previous HR roles than there seems to be for the huge range of massive changes this will bring.

Being solutions orientated, I cannot sit by and not do anything. So, I have asked Archangel Michael to visit Mrs May and Mr Corbyn to see if Angelic Intervention can succeed where the discussions and arguments and disgraceful lack of consideration for what is best of our nation has failed. I hope he has time to visit every MP (I understand that Archangel Michael may be omnipresent, so it is a possibility!) to try and convince them to come together, to stand together so that we do leave Europe and that the leaving is actually worth all of this and all that is to come. Archangel Michael is the angel of protection - something we need in the UK at this time, protection from the self focussed campaigning of the labour party, from the insular approach of the conservative party and from the stubborn posturing of the key players in Europe. He also brings courage and strength - may he infuse our parliamentary representatives with both, and with the focus required for such a massive change for us all.

Why not join me in asking for such angelic intervention - I am sure they angels listen to us all, whether we are one or a million, and if we are a chorus rather than a single, quiet voice, who knows - maybe they will send thousands and thousands of celestial beings with their celestial wisdom to help us all in our hour of need!
