The U.K. has serious problems and the article is pretty spot on about it, but the EU has their own problems the articles should be pointing at, especially the right’s relationship with Orban, a figure even more disconnected from pragmatism than the U.K. government. France itself has managed to have the last two presidential elections between _the same two people_. The fact that one of them is literally the head of the French equivalent of the National Front is just icing on the cake.<p>So yeah, Europe should learn lessons from what’s going on in the U.K., but there’s little evidence they are doing so.
poster seems to have... an attachment to posting UK political stories of a particular slant<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=cirrus-clouds" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=cirrus-clouds</a>
What I find most strange about it is the calmness in UK media and politics. It's really like that meme with the dog in a burning room saying "it's fine".<p>Cost of living crippling people? NHS in emergency mode at it's quietest period? Soaring inflation? Nah, business as usual. Let's pass some laws about imitation and cancel culture. Oh and look at the Queen, isn't she marvellous? Carry on.
Why is this flagged? It's an editorial, and it certainly has a slant, but it seems to be neither lying nor dissembling.<p>I, for one, had no knowledge of the strikes going on in the UK, and I'm rather more plugged into politics than most.
UK voted to leave EU, defacto they voted to become enclave of USA.<p>American influence from Trumps Steve Bannons Cambridge analytica THRU american corporation Facebook led to brexit.<p>so it is what some americans wanted, so now they have it, so go complain to these people britain.
