Not exactly irony, just a lack of hope. When i think about the problems facing the planet now and in the near future, all of them look to boil down to overpopulation, and i really struggle to see a way round it for us all as a unit. The only workable solution i see is to band together in groups and defend our resources, Brexit would satisfy this. The politicians are talking about how trade would suffer and that businesses would find it difficult, but in the long term the UK would have a strong base from which to legislate against population related threats if it were out of the EU. I don't think this unrest we're seeing is a minor blip, i think we're going to see more of the same just like with stock market problems.
