    But that is a clear sign of instability, my man. I’m from Europe so I know what’s up, and GB has been in turmoil since Thatcher. In fact you’re Europe’s USA as far as I’m concerned- you’re basically OG USA really… I love the people, but you’re still dealing with your colonial past and the structures of its old institutions still governing you.

    You’re also a bunch of mad lads so I have hope for you.

      No it’s since the 2008 crash. We fucked up our response to that. Austerity made everything worse. Immigrants and foreigners somehow get blamed for the state of things, and thus Brexit. Which again made everything worse still. All wrapped in 14y of bad Conservative government. Increasing corruption as it gets normalized. Labour has their work cut out for them, or it will be the far right next. (Because the right haven’t done enough damage yet?)
