I marvel at what an engine of misery Brexit has proven to be. It has:
- Threatened the Union;
- Polarised the country;
- Broken friendships and families;
- Ignited and then fed a culture war;
- Soured relationships with our allies and neighbours; /1
- Pushed @the3million into limbo and made them feel unwelcome in their homes;
- Created red tape;
- Narrowed the prospects of our children;
- Emboldened the far right;
- (Further) reduced politics to sloganizing; /2
- Threatened jobs;
- Left employment and environmental standards vulnerable;
- eroded conventions that were a check on power;
- politicised the civil service;
- attacked the judiciary; and
- eroded the Rule of Law. /3
I struggle to see what benefit would compensate for that. I hope we can overcome the harm we've done. /end
