Whilst a lot of things have been happening under the table out of sight, the recent decision by the EC to reject bids from the UK could be argued to be one of the first tanglible and widespread intimations of a post Brexit life for many that were not really aware of what "Brexit" means.
Obviously the Brexit Bias Corporation will spin all the "nasty EU" stories it can find. But that said, how will the decision - and it's reverberations through the affected communities - play out ?
From memory, when previous UK cities have bid, there's been a strong educational element. Am I alone in picturing quite a few schools having to explain to their pupils why all the work they put towards the bids was wasted ?
I'm probably thinking the wrong way, now I type. It's probably a good idea that our next generation of citizens gets used - and gets used early - to being fucked over by a minority elite.
