Probably not.  We are still living in never-never land.  The consequences of our collective stupidity are yet to be felt.  Largely because even though the public has voted – nothing has happened yet.  We haven’t even got any idea yet of the plan for Brexit from our Government.  Six months down the line and we still know nothing.  Even Scotland has produced a feasibility study of various different outcomes of the negotiations and how they think those may affect that country; and consequently what the current Administration led by Nicola Sturgeon may do under various circumstances.  So far from Mrs. May – zilch…and a stubborn refusal to be open with Parliament, to accept any scrutiny.  And yesterday a bland announcement that the “new” Government will be fairer….but importantly – no policies at all.  This is beginning to be a habit….

And in America, Donald Trump has been elected but is yet to assume power.  He has proposed his “team” of retired generals and businessmen and tweets ridiculous comments in the small hours and denigrates anyone who dares to question him.

Last year in Paris a new Climate Change Agreement was reached; basically to try to slow (not to halt or even reverse) the increase in global temperatures, which almost all scientists agree may soon be approaching a tipping point where no matter what we do it will be too late….

Trump doesn’t believe in Global Warming and Mrs. May will be far too busy trying to decide exactly what Brexit means to care….

I really wonder if any of this has dawned on them (or us) yet.
