Yes I was thinking in terms of the geologic record.

The single person I know in meatspace who is an ardent Brexiteer is also a Covid-resistant healthcare worker (??!!) and her boyfriend is a conservative troll... so I do find myself fighting the urge to revel in the continuing front page failures of Brexit, but people in the UK are being economically injured in very profound ways so I cannot.

When banks began relocating to the Continent (Germany?) I knew that this could be at least a generational blow to Britain and could inspire a break-away push by Scotland and more turmoil in The Irelands.

And Brexiteer heads on spikes.

But I know that the more conservative stance of giving it at least a decade to settle out is more judicial, so I'm trying to stay in that space.
