I believe the majority of the people in the country want to be as close as possible to the EU ( even those who were duped into voting Leave) but it’s the government that’s hesitant. They are terrified of the (toxic) RW press.

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

Patients being treated in corridors is widespread, but it must not be normalised.
