The problem we had in the UK with our politicians is that they

A – clearly didnt understand public sentiment and the overall apathy towards the EU… quite concerning when they are supposed to represent the public

B – most of them probably found the actual work load involved distasteful and frankly were too lazy to accept what they needed to do to enact Brexit successfully

C – had little to no actual control over the civil service who seem a law unto themselves

D – they clearly hoped under Theresa May that maybe Brexit might be reversed in some way. This annoyed the public quite extensively (see our election and european election results) and finally gave them a bit of a kick up the arse to get on with it.

E – on top of all that wasted time and energy the pandemic then struck. Something else that politicians have clearly little capacity to react to sensibly and constructively (lets just lock everyone up and destroy our economies for 2 years!)

And this is only from the UK side, the EU politicians have also made a total cluster**** of the whole thing.

As a Brit I sympathise that Brexit has had some negative consequwnces, but I am still 100% certain that it was the right thing and unfortunately for remainers I dont think I am in a minority here.
