Comment on Broken Britain: what went wrong?

I’d say a significant part of what went wrong is influence by Kremlin and CCP propaganda. Just like getting Trump elected, they used social media to weaken their geopolitical rivals. They were thrilled to see a weakened EU.

You found nice scapegoats, to justify selfmade problems

Yeah, in the first place it needs to be looked at home outside influence could even do that. Because, there are systemic issues that let that happen. A democracy should have checks and balances to fighting something like that. And if it is so brittle that some Russian bribes can turn the country upside down, then you need to look at what went wrong in the democracy and how to fix that.
If it wasn't the Russians it would be someone else. Britain needs to strengthen it's democracy and sharpen it's systems to minimize the impact of outside forces, not just blame outside forces for existing.
