Re: BREXIT - breaking the UK or bringing it together?

we have never been so divided as a country" and there is more "hate towards others".

It's happening in many countries, and the common feature is the divisiveness of the EU. It puts so much effort into telling people "stop thinking of yourselves as British, French, Italian, etc. Think of yourselves as European". Unfortunately "European" is a blurry, nebulous thing that no-one really 'feels', so instead the attitude is "well, if I'm not allowed to be British/French/Spanish what am I? I must be Scots/Basque/Catalan etc.". hence the divisions appearing all over the European "Union".

In short, it sounds as if "BREXIT" is doing a lot to the country - and most of what has happened / is happening is not the expected outcome.

It's exactly what I expected, lots of initial uncertainty and whining, but with a refreshing sense of opportunity if only we can grab it. It is clear that many people would prefer not to have to make the effort, but that's unsurprising as well.
