Brexit is the story of the worst decision in British political history. A story of a few singular* individuals who put their position (existing-Cameron, potential-Johnson) or personal wealth (Farage, Dyson) above the needs of the country.

*not a compliment

#TheTraitors is the perfect game of our times - a small group lie to the majority in order to strip them of the money they have earned jointly to keep it for themselves.

Good telly, but bad world order.

Stand outs of the series-Jessie for being authentically herself,Harriet for being pretty switched on and Jade for putting up with so much suspicion with absolutely no foundation.

None of the male players impressed at all.
