Step back with me. No, further. Stand with me on the moon and look over. It is one planet we see. Boats and planes criss-crossing. People around what we call the world talking, to make life easier for both.
We have to focus in quite sharply to find the places where talking stopped and fighting started.
In most centres of population we see crowds managing not to bump into each other. Muttering apologies when stepping out of line. Strangers eating together and tipping their waiter.
We need to do this to remind ourselves. Most people are not bad and try to be good.
Seen from space a lot of UK policy details don’t matter. If something very big came past the Moon we would do well for all countries to be on the same side (although I have seen ‘Arrival’).
Now, how much tax you wanna pay?
