Very good. People voted for fantasies, not facts. They voted for the tooth fairy and are now pissed off that she never visits, blaming immigrants for frightening her off, rather than the politicians who keep peddling the vote-winning (but country-ruining) deceit.
Brexit didn't fail to control immigration - because it was never really about control.
It was about blame. It redirected anger, preserved the economic status quo, and convinced people they were getting change while delivering more of the same.
And on that front, it was a roaring success.

I personally think Trump is more afraid of what the Epstein files can reveal about their joint Russian financial connections (remember they fell out in a bidding war over the Palm Beach mansion and Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev) rather than direct sex kompromat

Actually the UK elite did not really engage with the EU at all. It didn’t understand it and still doesn’t. The UK has a major democratic deficit that stifles public engagement. The UK public support rejoining.

You can say that again, although I think it goes to show how dysfunctional the UK's political and social system is, when it is too easy for a bungling amateur to become PM just because of the school he went to, and has too many discretionary powers when he gets there.

The issue is we are stuck in the past, wanting to be outstanding when we aren't even satisfactory. Danny Dorling has written well about the true 'strangers' among us - the privately educated wealthy, who effectively live apart (like Farage and Tice) & they want us to hate the EU and foreigners.

Is this the kernel of the problem? Is it the unwillingness to acknowledge that Europe is a legitimate world actor. At this point, it's a hang-up And is that reflex rejection what is actually stopping the UK moving towards Europe? The history is interesting. A 🧵

Corporate Welfare. UK govts subsidise gas, oil, wind, solar, coal, biomass companies with cash and/or tax breaks. Free cash. No means testing. No equity stake, nothing repayable. Since 2020, 20 energy companies made operating profit of £514bn, shareholders enriched. We get big energy/tax bills.

Saying, "No, I am not going to carry out this grotesque and racist government assault on its citizens, because I know it is unjust." That would be brave. Saying "no?
" Putting on your
bulletproof vest and breaking up families and shrugging and saying "just following orders" and hiding your face is the most weak-ass thing I can imagine. "I'd rather destroy the lives of entire families than have the fellas make fun of me. I'd rather tear mothers away from their children than get a regular job." Go fuck yourself man.
