@fkamiah17 @Gussets @weaniejeanie53 in Scotland we had Indy Ref where we questioned everything. Brexit was voted for by people who took things at face value. We need to educate people to look deeper before deciding a stance.
@fkamiah17 @IndyMo @Gussets yes lack of education on politics is a big problem, whether kids get any lessons in it now, I certainly didn’t. That and the constant lies peddled by those awful rags The Sun, Brexpress and Heil, so many people read them day in, day out, Christ one of my gammony neighbours buys all three each day!
@weaniejeanie53 @fkamiah17 @Gussets Leanne Woods podcast had a recent episode on political education for Wales. Pretty sure there’s no hope for your neighbour. Hopefully there are enough enlightened enough to push things forward.

Thanks, have bookmarked that for later. I have a lot of respect for her.
@fkamiah17 @IndyMo @Gussets yes you’re probably right although I was talking to his wife the other day and she was far less supportive of the Tories than she was, ditto my next door neighbour. My oldest friends voted leave and vote Tory and they’re starting to have second thoughts too. I sent the #TwoSoupsTruss meme to him and he said oh give her a chance, he’s not saying that now!
