The fault-line running (ruining) through these arguments is the salient fact that the country is in fact broken, every single proposal by the tories, as ever, is to the detriment of the non-tories, historically and contemporarily. Every criticism of their policies is met with the full back-catalogue of hate-mail propaganda, murdoch's gutter- scraping lie machine and rothermere's far-right comic. The end is not in sight, this war has been slowly intensifying since 1979, the blair 'If you cant beat them join them" nu-labour strategy was just a temporary armistice , his refusal to bow to murdoch's t's and c's killed it stone dead. Under our medieval political farago of nonsense that is westminster, there can be no solution. Which suits the side that is in control of information, that yearns for the heyday of feudalism. It took 2 wars to effect changes, and both times those changes were rolled back by the ruling elite, brexit is just another example of their utter contempt for the "plebs", or the "enemy" as they like to refer to the public #thatcher. When a brexit says "the country" as in "the country needs to leave to prosper" they dont intend everyone to prosper, that has never ever been a tory ambition, a fact that is self-evident given their history. It boils down to the grim reality that the country cannot be fixed by a fundamentally unfit-for-purpose political system, which the all-powerful elite will use every device to maintain. Including prorogation of parliament, attacking the gfa and the back-stop, employing psychopaths like cummins, spending billions of public money (at their "pals" agencies, naturally) on a sales blitz to present brexit as a "done deal". Who or what can overturn the "system" is beyond what is available at this time. The lack of a genuinely neutral media, the years and years of contrived decline in the regions, the vested interests of a corrupt bunch of billionaires and the gentry makes them effectively bullet-proof, even more so when the straw that is the EU gets blown away. That the EU has been a surrogate labour party for the last 40 years is beyond sad. Unless, that is you're part of the 5% that are guaranteed to prosper, a xenophobic St George flag waving racist, a daily mail reader, a johnson believer (no, they actually exist, it's not a nightmare, it's incredibly, a fact, not a brexit " fact," a proper fact) and especially a thatcher disciple or even all of the above. The shit meets the fan when sadness becomes anger and a thirst for justice...
The French found the answer; losing two wars worked for Germany; the yanks knew what to do (shame they lost the plot and invented their own tory party).
To reiterate, there is no sticking plaster big enough to "fix" this wound inflicted on the UK. Too deep, too wide too old....the sign on the end of the sick-bed, DO NOT RESUSCITATE
