  • 2016 was a weird time and you could argue it was the point when western politics veered off in the direction of populism over policy.

    As a British citizen (sorry subject), it was a horrifying moment to be woken up by my girlfriend to learn that we had voted to leave by the smallest of margins.

    And later that year we watched America elect a bonafide psychopathic narcissist as the president of the United States.

    Why the majority elect to be kept under the boot with aggressive fiscal policies which reward the wealthy is beyond me.

    Brexit was sold on lies and false promises of the ‘benefits’ Britain would see when we become ‘independent’ again.

    It remindeds me of the time my family signed up to AOL after using one of their free trial discs from a magazine. It has the same feel as those days, discovering forums and messages boards dedicated to all kinds of esoteric interests you could think of.

    It’s like the days before the dark times, before the empire.
