Britons have become angrier since the referendum to leave the EU, according to a survey which suggests there is widespread unhappiness about the direction in which the country is heading.

Sixty-nine per cent of respondents said they felt their fellow citizens had become “angrier about politics and society” since the Brexit vote in 2016, according to the Edelman Trust Barometer, a long-established, annual survey of trust carried out across the globe.

Forty per cent of people think others are now more likely to take part in violent protests, the UK results from the survey show, even though violent political protest in Britain is rare. One person in six said they had fallen out with friends or relatives over the vote to leave the bloc, the survey found.

It's been plain as the noses on our faces that Russia - in concert with several other state actors - is changing many of our societies and cultures to be splintered and at constant odds with one another. These evil people want all democratic-minded peoples to be divided and every single person living in their tiny little bubble into which they can inject their dogma.

We must somehow fight this trend and come together.......
