Seriously? The people pointing out how the country is heading down a massively idiotic path because Rupert Murdoch would like us to are the UK's biggest problem?
I'm going to list a few other candidates for the UK's biggest problem:
* The pound plummeting like a rock.
* Xenophobia, bordering on fascism, being advocated by the press.
* The gradual, quiet, handing of the NHS to private companies.
* Ever growing demand for food banks, most notably by people working jobs that don't pay enough to fulfil basic needs.
* The only vaguely viable opposition to the government self-destructing right when they're needed most.
But sure, its definitely people complaining that are the problem.
- karmacoda 10y ago* The pound plummeting like a rock. - Expected period of adjustment. * Xenophobia, bordering on fascism, being advocated by the press. - BBC is nothing but a continuous charity appeal. * The gradual, quiet, handing of the NHS to private companies. - Precedes Brexit. * Ever growing demand for food banks, most notably by people working jobs that don't pay enough to fulfil basic needs. - Precedes Brexit. * The only vaguely viable opposition to the government self-destructing right when they're needed most. - Precedes Brexit. Completely off-topic.
- crottypeter 10y agoYes, the conservatives were in before Brexit. These things are still: >"candidates for the UK's biggest problem"
- imdsm 10y agoSo much focus on all the potential problems, ignoring all the potential benefits. This is why the world is the way it is.
- tremon 10y agoHow much of the potential benefits were discussed during the Brexit campaign? I thought the campaign mainly focused on the (perceived) negatives of the current arrangement?
- DanBC 10y agoAll the potential benefits are blatant lies. Brexit doesn't give £350m to the NHS. Brexit doesn't get us out of ECHR (and that wouldn't be a benefit anyway, since ECHR agrees with UK on over 99% of cases). Brexit doesn't give us control over our spending. Brexit doesn't give us control over immigration.
