The Truth Will Set Us Free

23 June 2016- the day that changed everything, the day that lies, cheats, deceit, dishonesty, hatred,...triumphed over trust, accountability, truth, cooperation, peace, harmony, and hope. A day that plunged our nation into darkness, hopelessness, division and separation, drifted us towards a stormy sea in a little boat with no oars and no arms, no friends and no neighbors.
10 years on and the timeless question is: Can a referendum based on the most damaging and consequential lies and dishonestly remain valid? Should lies and dishonesty, with total disregard for truth and integrity, with intention to deceive, cheat, and mislead citizens/ voters to act against their own interest not be a crime in public life?
Just stop and think for a moment: What will happen if lying by politicians, if lying in public office, for private/personal gains, becomes a norm in the larger society, in all our personal encounters and relationships with each other? Would you like to live in a country like that, when you can trust nobody?
And last but not the least, as a result of Brexit, we lost the right to live, work, study, or retire across the entire 27 member states of the European Union, plus Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
