"To be fair, Jim, the British do not speak with one voice. "
Of course it doesn't - it is open to historical prejudices and misinformation - the problem here is that there was no study of how Britain should exit Europe, no game plan for the future and no discussion of the likely consequences
One of the things never considered was the debt Britain owes to its former colonies, some of whom are at war with the despots who rule them
Instead of assisting former colonial citizens to repair the mess left behind by the fallen empire, the British State is licencing arms to be used against their bettering their lot while, at the same time, blocking the entry of refugees from the wars created by the situation we left behind
This cynical and predatory behaviour s not only inhuman, but it has given rise to world-wide terrorism

Ireland is not untypical of what is happening - a partitioned nation moving slowly towards reconciliation which is quite likely to be thrown into further conflict by the re-introduction of solid borders.
The effect of Brexit reaches far beyond the shores of Britain
