The UK wouldn’t accept the pain necessary to start making things again just like we were never going to accept the changes needed to make Brexit a success.
What pain? All you have to do is lower the rent.
How could we have made Brexit a success? I really didn't see many people saying how we could do that.
Making brexit a success is scheduled right after proving P = NP. You know, because we do the easier things first to keep the queue short.
