It's very sad. And why, I have to ask? I can only assume it's because everyone in the UK knows that the UK is on a downhill slide into being an utter hole. most towns are already. Hard to focus on positives when the future of Great Britain looks so bleak and unjust.
someone mentioned rats deserting a sinking ship? Umm... well... what would you call a rat deserting a sinking ship? I know what I'd call them. bloody sensible when the alternative is sinking with it. Yes, they might well drown on the swim to shore. But they might just make it. If they stay on the ship, they're definitely ****ed.

And all three parties have ruled out there being a currency union with an independent Scotland, not just the Tories
