    He’s right. There just isn’t the political will in the population to reopen the topic of Brexit now. Whether anyone likes it or not, the things British people really care about right now, in no particular order, are:

    • Inflation

    • House & utility & food prices

    • Immigration

    • NHS waiting lists & more dentists

    • Train infrastructure.

    People can make very legitimate arguments linking Brexit to those issues, but it’s not politically viable to open that can of worms again. They just really want their lives to improve for the first time in over a decade.

      So you’re telling me that people in the UK want lower food prices, but don’t want to be part of the EU common market. And they want more doctors and dentists, but less immigration.

      Is there an epidemic of mental illness? Do these people know what cause and effect are?

        Is there an epidemic of mental illness?

        Yes, but unfortunately no doctors to diagnose it.
