Still somewhat stunned by reaction to my thread yesterday...judging by comments, my experience are magnified 1000 times over by your experiences and feelings of frustration: it's the gaslighting, closing of debate, whataboutism, accusations of denying the "will of the people"
These aren't substantive rational arguments, but diversionary tactics. Also, this govt uses "bread and circuses" tactics to distract us - and too much of the media falls for it. Am amazed how poor most coverage of Brexit is in the press/tv. So much is dumbed down
Yes, I wrote we should try to avoid divisions. I see the anger/frustration that came back to me on that...I too have to bite my lip and switch topics when Brexit comes up in our family. I am simmering inside. Angry for the lost opportunities for my kids.
But I don't want to let them destroy everything. I will not let Brexit poison me or my family. It's not just about Brexit anyway, these days, it's about the corruption, the erosion of democracy, decency, and our standing in the world.
Thank you for all the words, information and stories you've shared. Not been able to reply to all, but am reading and learning.
