Just putting some perspective on it, that's all.
You see, I closely follow the politics in my home country and as I have alluded to a number of times, you may as well watch the UK politics, just in a different language. Same problems such as the influx of immigrants, the standard of living crisis, the handling of Covid. You name it, what we had/have here in the UK is being repeated in Holland and without a doubt in Germany et al.
Blaming Brexit for it, rather gleefully as you do if I may add, is not the answer to the crisis. There are many worldwide factors involved that have absolutely sod all to do with Brexit that is putting pressure on people around the world.
I assure you there's nothing remotely gleeful about it, the UK choosing to blow its own feet off has been a source of dismay to me ever since the referendum result was announced. That 'Project Fear' has turned into 'Project Reality' is a simple statement of fact.
There's no pleasure in 'I told you so' when the subject of that statement is the weakening on the world stage of an entire nation, which is what the UK has done. That's not even the fault of those who voted to leave, it was May and Johnson who decided to take the UK down the calamitous 'Hard Brexit' route, where more capable politicians could have delivered on the result of the referendum without slipping a noose around the country's neck.
What does slightly irk me is people arguing, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, that black is white, up is down, 2+2=5 and It's Nothing To Do With Brexit Mate, which I honestly think should be the epitaph for some folks.
