Summary: <p>Is it a distraction trying to fully understand where the impacts of Brexit begins and ends, where the impacts of Covid begins and ends, where the impacts of the cost of living crisis begins and ends, where the impacts of the war in Ukraine begins and ends, where the impacts of the climate crisis begins and ends?</p> <p>Quite a conundrum, which arose from today's listener question, sent in by Billy, in Saugus, Massachusetts, USA.</p> <p>“I spent some time in the UK recently, and like many countries at the moment, the wheels seem to be coming off many aspects of your country and systems. Do you think this is caused by Brexit, Covid, Cost Of Living crisis, the climate crisis, or something else? Not sure where one issue begins and another ends currently, do you guys?” </p> <p>Your co-hosts Stuart and William feel it's potentially a mixture of Brexit, Covid, the Cost Of Living crisis, the climate crisis and much more, as Billy concisely states in his question. Though Covid could probably be more impactful than Brexit in some instances for example. Brexit is though a contributing factor in the UK, as we chose to do it ourselves.</p> <p>They suggest maybe we should all do some research to try and fathom where all these things begin and end, whether it is Brexit, Covid, Cost Of Living crisis, the war in Ukraine, or the climate crisis. We may not find any definitive conclusions, but it might widen our shared perspective a bit more.</p> <p>During this episode Stuart and William discuss the upcoming Environmental Debate Live & Unscripted event, this podcasts format expanded and made more experiential, then set in front of a live audience, and arranged to take place next on May 27th at the former Bothy Vineyard in Oxfordshire 3.30pm to 9pm.
