What caused this problem is quite simply, the right wing media have.
They've poisoned the British people minds, made them more paranoid and cynical of everything from the EU, the system, the government.
Now it's got so bad that facts don't mean anything, the truth has little meaning and it's all about who can be more convincing with telling lies.
A lot of this allowed Brexit to happen, this government to be in power even thought they keep stumbling from one disaster to another, they still remain in power as if nothing sticks whereas in normal times, someone like Boris wouldn't even get close to becoming PM.
A big part of this problem is focused on England which is a major problem for the UK union because the way things are going, it's looking like Scotland and Northern Ireland would be better off leaving the UK.
Honestly, I keep thinking to myself, how bad can things get, only for them to get worse, the right wing media and the Tories have done major damage to the UK with getting the British people fighting among ourselves, more divided than I can remember and yes, I think it's only a matter of time before this union breaks up, many Scots and Irish are looking at everything that's going on in the country and with the government and thinking, we've got to get out of this and the option is open for Scotland and Northern Ireland to leave and even rejoin the EU if they like.
In the end, the real problem boils down to lies, people are poorly informed about things and are quick to buy into the lies, that's what really started this mess over the last 2 or so decades now and since Brexit, it feels like the UK is just getting worse and worse as time goes by and when you look at everything that's going on around the world, I don't have much hope for the next few years and I suspect life is going to get quite hard for the poor and middle classes in the UK thanks to Brexit, Covid and now the war in Ukraine that's helping to push up living cost, the cost of all this is only just started and very likely to get worse over the coming years.
You know what the real sad thing is about all this and I say this as an English man living in England, I think Scotland and Northern Ireland needs to leave the UK union just to shock the English people and government, we've lost our way in being diplomatic and senseable people and now it's all about rage, we need a major wake-up call to shock the English people because clearly they are not getting it with how bad things are going.
