Brexit itself is just a symptom of the disease. The facts as presented gave me the impression that the "powers that be" saw Brexit's cancellation of the agreement as an opportunity to kick the can down the road. If they were responsible stewards of their country, they would make an effort to keep their original commitment to undoing the harm their policies have caused over the last 40 years, regardless of the agreement.

I think most of you know this isn't Brexit at play. It's 40 odd years of electing conservative criminals into your government and allowing them to destroy your institutions and infrastructure. It started with Thatcher. This is just the reaping of what you've sown.
