The British people have voted and we are leaving the EU.
A strange malaise has gripped the country, where no-one really believes anything is real anymore. A solipsistic syndrome.
The island has become detached not only from Europe, but from the rest of the world entirely and we exist only has two types. Leave or Remain. It cuts through generations, classes and poltical camp of left and right.
Remainers are painted as typically urbane, London-centric and rich.
Leave are painted as typically un-educated, provincial and poor.
Of course this a nonsense as the greatest cheerleaders of the Leave campaign were public school educated, urbane, London-centric and rich, but let’s not quibble.
Brexit has robbed a Nation of its summer, of any plans for the future, of any plans for oneself, as the crushing truism is realized, regardless how one voted, we as a nation have no idea where we’ll be in a few years time…
But was it not ever thus?
