Now. Brits might have made a terrible mistake, but they aren’t fools. They are beginning to realize, to their horror, that Brexit has been a calamity of historic proportions. That’s not because anyone’s telling them the straight facts above, because they’ve got some kind of theoretical knowledge about it, but more simply, because they’re living it. Hence, in the latest polls, 2/3s of Brits want another referendum, on rejoining the EU again.

That’s because they are beginning to see what “Brexit is already 2/3 of the way to the Great Depression” or “Brexit turned Britain into Argentina” really means.

Consequences aren’t real until it starts hitting me in the face.

When Corbyn was there in spite of inner party shenanigans. Not that they were able to do anything.

80 years ago, it was implementing very successful universal healthcare and rights. Still not the most progressive I’m sure, but… at least some kinda progressive.
