UK did those tourists a favour.
Come on. Few people are as angry with our society as it stands as I am but the United Kingdom is fit to burst with amazing cultural heritage which we should share with the world (some of it we didn't even steal!).
Furthermore, for as regressive and bigoted as a lot of our media and politicians are, a very large proportion of British people are tolerant, curious, and kind-hearted.
The United Kingdom is much more than our current and historical governments. If we are ever going to establish ourselves as a force for good in a worsening world, we need people to realize that we genuinely are more than Brexit, Rwanda deals and Partygates.
Getting the Tories under 100 seats at the next GE and encouraging the Labour party to not be afraid of being a tolerant, democratic socialist party are the first steps towards that.
Well said. Brexit happened and now we need to move on. Wallowing in this constant self-flagellation is doing no one any good, and blaming Brexit instead of the incumbent government making all the decisions isn't helping either.
Eh, there's plenty worth seeing and half of the people are worth meeting. Sure, most of them live in Ireland (the island), but still!
