People often think of this as a Tory problem, but it makes Labour jizz their pants just as much.

Should do the same with the congestion charge too.

Problem with that is FPTP. The UK like the USA is pretty much a two part system. Both of the main parties stuck with the will of the people narrative.

2017 they voted Theresa May to do Brexit

Only just, and against Jeremy fucking Corbyn.

People voted Boris Johnson in 2019 to “get Brexit done”.

At that point I think people just wanted it over with. Even remainers as the political paralysis was in and if itself starting to cause problems.

Probably. But they weren’t actively being lied to.

Exactly. Thank you.

It’s no wonder Leave were so aggressive with shouting down calls for a second referendum after they won It’s no wonder also that they made such a thing out of the will of the people. They knew full well that their margin was razor thin.

They knew as well that this razor thin margin was heavily weighted towards older people and that as each month passed (even if people couldn’t already see that Brexit was a shit show) that the majority was getting eaten away as younger people turned 18 and older people passed away.

No. 48.11% of us knew that. 51.89% were sold a lie.

Well, actually, probably a few of that 51% knew that. But a lot of thought (because much of the leave campaign literally said so) that we could leave and have some kind of EEA agreement.

I can only help with the last part as I use audible. Have you tried Voice? https://droidify.eu.org/app/?id=de.ph1b.audiobook&repo_address=https://f-droid.org/repo

I don’t know how you got that from what I said.

A lot of what has happened in Brexit was what remain said would happen but were told during the campaign that what they were saying was “project fear”

Leave won by a margin of 3.78%. There was also very little talk of leaving the single market. In fact much of the talk that there was of that came from the Remain campaign and was shouted down as project fear.

Well I feel stupid

Um speaking as a Brit, has she seen the state of our politics since Brexit?

England: oh I’m a lion

Scotland: motherfuck unicorn man

Wales: rawww dragon time

Ireland: umm rabbit?

My car stopped accelerating. Why am I still going so fast?

We’re having the exact same issue in the UK. Plus the price of energy pretty much quadrupled.

The era of cheap debt had to come to an end, and before the pandemic the BoE had a plan to gradually raise rates over a 5 year period. Then COVID happened and they dropped rates even lower than they had been before! So rather than a gradual end to the cheap debt era we’ve shoved our foot on the accelerator and gone straight into the wall. With no airbag or seatbelt.

At the same time banks get more cautious about who they lend to. If you’re rich and a cash buyer is great as you can snap up a few houses at discount to add to your portfolio. Normal people, not so great.
