Brexit is a deal breaker for me. Any thoughts I’ve ever had about moving to UK for any reason went out the window when Brexit happened.
Having lived in Britain during the time of the Referendum and seen all of that shitshow first hand, I would say that Brexit is the product of British Politics having been taken over by the local version of MAGA (so, less loud and obnoxious, more posh sleaze).
This was to the point that they even had a Trump lookalike called Boris Johnson.
Plus they’re only half a step behind on the bigotry, surveillance, and fascism anyway.
They have always been fascist and they are way ahead in laws restricting rights.
I think the guy that was pretending to be pro-genocide and watching his friends be arrested for protesting Israel about summed it up for me. Genocide okay, anti-genocide not okay in the UK.
I think though they are less racist. They have that going for them.
They’re so Racist that during the whole Brexit shitshow racism towards other Europeans became pretty overt at all levels.
Also having lived in Britain and with friends which unlike me didn’t look like the locals, I heard lots of stories from them about being discriminated against in Britain and even have one myself (you could tell I was not a local if I spoke, since my accent wasn’t any of the local ones).
Whilst Britain is good at image management, what’s under that carefully cultivated image is quite a lot darker.
Waiting for Joanne Rowling to have a Kirk moment.
Any time now.
