A discussion with my friend Mike about the current state of Brexit and what it means for the future of the European Union and the geopolitical situation on the continent and beyond.

On a special episode of The Private Citizen, I once again convene with my good friend Mike. It’s been way too long. This time, we start of discussions about the state of politics in the UK by discussing Brexit. How it came to be, what the current situation is and what it means for the future of Britain and the UK.

Brexit Then & Now

This episode is mostly made up of a lengthy discussion of the topic at hand and is best enjoyed listened to as is. Topics discussed include the timeline of the Brexit talks, the current state of affairs when it comes to Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Protocol. We also mention the Sausage War.

Producer Feedback

As the episode was long enough already, I did not include any producer feedback. We’ll have more feedback in the next episode.

If you have any thoughts on the things discussed in this or previous episodes, please feel free to contact me. In addition to the information listed there, we also have an experimental Matrix room for feedback. Try it out if you have an account on a Matrix server. Any Matrix server will do.
