  • I was thinking about that.

    I still reckon Brexit is slow-burn, the changes will be hard to spot, and they will happen over the long term. And it will be easy to blame anything other than Brexit for the bad stuff (the economy, the nasty EU people and their terms of exit, anything and everything really).

    Whereas Trump's action are having a more visible impact:

    • Some Muslims will have been denied entry/re-entry (perhaps now in effect permanently)
    • The two 'controversial' pipelines now look like they are going to be built
    • Individual states are now re-assessing their public health care commitments
    • The climate change agenda is now being incrementally subject to 'revisionism'
    • Global leaders are progressively reacting to American protectionism
    • All sorts of weird things are happening with Russia

    All of those will arguably affect people more immediately than Brexit.

  • Totally agree.

    It's the boil a frog thing with Brexit. Though India going "meh" on trade deals and Trump going "USA first" is not a good start :/

    The UK gov are already blaming the EU for not granting rights for EU nationals... but that's ok, we are the "other" group atm ;)
