      That’s got to be a joke? It’s was the old Tory government who started the process.. and don’t forget the Irish who played a central role & made their own concessions.

      On both sides (mostly my country of Britain I admit) civilians were targeted and I say that was it a good concession to both to ceasefire.

    Britain and even the UK as a whole is disunited politically, socially, culturally and linguistically.
    The poor political choices and decisions of Brexit have made the lack of unity ever clearer for the entire world to see.
    It's not just disunited, it's also completely imbalanced.
    Politically, it has devolved governments, but most of the power lies in Tory Westminster which has the UK at political loggerheads. These devolved governments squabble and fight amongst each other which details the disunity.
    Brexit was divisive and it shows how disunited the UK is with the occupied region called "Northern Ireland" and the country of Scotland voting No to Brexit.
    The UK is literally split down the middle in the Brexit debacle which makes it politically disunited.
    Furthermore, the UK isn't a voluntary union because Scotland is actively being denied another independence referendum post Brexit - this, again, makes it a disunited partnership + an imbalanced and undemocratic one.
    Welsh and Scottish independence is growing while talks of Irish reunification are on everyone's lips - this, again, demonstrates a disunited and imbalanced union.
    Socially, culturally and linguistically it is also divided and disunited as the different parts have their own culture and language + Britain has become increasingly "British Asian".
    Brexit itself limits multiculturalism and encourages exclusive nationalism and nativism which in effect breeds racism and xenophobia (the very core of Brexit and Brexiteers).
    Try convincing yourself that Grim Britain is united, but it's DISUNITED and IMBALANCED as well as UNDEMOCRATIC and UNJUST.
    And it's actively breaking up which is the ultimate win 😅
