No single cause and how far to go back?

BOE not ending QE soon enough/low rates too long, then raising at wrong time/too fast

No super majority for the EU referendum / Cameron fleeing the implementation

Clegg cocking up the deal over the PR referendum

West not stamping on Russian moves in E Europe sooner

Labour letting Corbyn onto their leadership ballot, Tories letting Johnson onto theirs

Blair’s ‘50% to University’ fixation

Locking down too late & too long for Covid

The neglect of white working class male youth

Whoever came up with Big Brother & IACGMOOH

Cromwell being a khunt (leading to the restoration) and especially in Ireland (leading to sectarianism and NI Protocol)

Harold not controlling his shieldwall at Hastings

Lots of little decisions that have led to various different structural issues which have all contributed to the current malaise

And someone with a different political viewpoint will have slightly different takes on most of these 🤷‍♂️
