We are burning so much with Brexit. Security, diplomatic capital, family lives all for a result that will satisfy a handful of ideologues.
I think if I hadn’t moved (and wasn’t half-Polish, thanks dad) I would just be permanently angry and dejected about it. Instead of mostly.
The worst of it is that the people who voted for it are going to be hit hardest by the result. Except the ideologues, of course.
And then we have straw-clutching “well it will give us new impetus to (do something we could have done before)”. Maybe. But at what price?
