I seem to keep coming back to this article for another look. I think it’s a sign of good writing, on a subject that people obviously have an opinion about— whether for or against. And that’s perfectly fine. Reasonable disagreement is actually quite refreshing.

I was attracted to you last paragraph though, and thought I would comment.

Theresa May’s dull and lacklustre persona may have initially excluded an air of quiet efficiency, but ultimately she handled the role of Prime Minister with breathtaking incompetence.

Honestly, I’m not sure what personality traits a Prime Minister would have to possess in order to make the whole Brexit affair anything more than a dog’s breakfast. I’m not from the UK, but I have a great deal of respect for the people, the place, and up until recently, the politics. But I feel it’s a tad unfair to bang on about people who are not bringing about a resolution to a problem, that actually wasn’t a problem until a short time ago. Calling something a problem, and finding ten people to agree with you, doesn’t make it one. Problems are not theoretical, they are real world issues. And real world issues, investigated by sane, rational and caring people, will resolve. If they are not, you’re looking at the wrong problem.

In the states we had, Make America Great Again. America was and is great. Has been for quite some time. MAGA is nothing more than a marketing slogan. A statement (not a fact) that enables an accusing finger to be pointed willy-nilly, at everything and everyone, except the real problem(s).

It’s easy to get distracted by the facts, or those masquerading as one. Mainly because there are so many of them, it’s easy to get fooled. We all make mistakes. The hallmark of a good person, is that they learn from theirs. Let’s see who’s learning and who isn’t.
