Not being able to trade with out barriers with our nearest neighbours lays bare the reality of some the things that led to the Brexit vote.
This attempt to stop immigration to sort that out only exacabates the situation.
Brexit promised more housing, more school places and better health care. It offered more freedom about our future. It will be pretty clear pretty quickly that this won't materialise.
Instead the converse is true and is coupled with centralisation of power and a loss of rights.
The situation for many is their ability to make ends meet already hangs by a thread. Draconian measures have less effect than they might otherwise have in that situation as people have little to lose.
It goes two ways: blame still placed on foreigners, and in that climate where there is such a hostile attitude to immigrants the split of who provides labour and who doesn't and how they are not being politically represented by anyone including Labour.
I think that the idea it will be led by political parties is in essence wrong for that reason. The structure of political parties are what have failed many people.
There will be efforts to crack down on descent but again this misses the point that until you offer people a stake in their own future you get a backlash.
In this sense the EU is way down the list of priorities though at the same time fundamental to why we are fucked. The domestic issues will dominate agendas.
I expect strikes followed by crack down on strikes before the next election. Which will lead to strikes deemed unlawful but spring from untenable domestic policy and tap into political undercurrents and issues that are being ignored. I can see it not just being a unionised thing.
To put simply we are on course for a crisis point which will be spontaneous rather than by design. Which will make it more difficult to maintain and manage. Its not militancy more desperation I hear creeping into political discussion. It's more than simple disillusionment.
The desire to control social media is in the midst of this for a multitude of reasons. The problem being the poor understanding from authority of that from both a technical and social point of view.
When will we hit this crisis point? Don't know. Depends on how Brexit is handled. A transition deal reduces that risk and makes it further away. The curious thing for me, is that you'd expect the Tories to want to push that to next parliament particularly if there is danger of them losing in order to push blame onto Labour.
