and still expect the same fools to somehow do the right thing because reasons...

Most British people have even less access to affecting state policy than we do. The present government has succeeded in tying the entire Brexit process in Gordian knots through a combination of sheer ineptitude combined with complete contempt for British citizens and voters.

Brexit as a general concept was never going to work well for average UK citizens. The catastrophes presently unfolding in Britain are the result of Brexit done much worse than anyone who voted for it imagined.

Some have observed that the Tory government has not done anything at all to proceed forward with Brexit as a meaningful process of governance. Rather it seems that all of those who claimed to lead it have in fact been finding ways to avoid ANY decisions at all. It has also been said that they really only know how to dismantle government and that constructive leadership ability is not in their portfolio.
