[Margaret Pilkington]

There is a huge climate of uncertainty and distrust.

Sometimes people get 'sucked in' to demonstrations like this without really thinking.
It feels like demonstrating is 'doing something'....rather than just sitting back.
Though in my opinion, demonstrations rarely make any impact on what bureaucrats have already decided.

Like petitions, it hardly ever affects the outcome.

This climate of uncertainty has been magnified by the ineptitude and stubbornness of politicians both sides of the channel.
They are just NOT interested in the people, they are only interested in a petty point scoring exercise......and maybe having their name in the history books.
Egotists and megalomaniacs care nothing for the damage that their actions cause.
