Somebody asked in another thread how the UK of the late 2010s/early 2020s will be viewed in fifty years time, I wouldn't be surprised if it is as a nasty, polarised, paranoid country where people on either side of the argument had lost trace of the decency, tolerance and inclusiveness which, despite its problems, was once there at its heart.

I've never known the country as divided as it is now - I'm as guilty of it as anyone as I, like so many others on both sides resort to feeble whataboutery to make a point against the other lot who, increasingly, I have grown to despise. We are in a vicious circle and, although you, apparently, want to deny it, the Brexit referendum was the catalyst for it all.
People vote for who they dislike the least these days and not who they like the most, politicians do negative campaigning dissing the other side and not saying what their party can do but what the other parties can't do in their opinion, it is the case here in the UK and the in USA (probably the rest of the World as well), it just adds to division and negativity and it's sadly where we are at in this day and age and it's in every walk of life.
