George Monbiot: Brexit's architects escape accountability as Farage eyes power

Summary

George Monbiot argues that the Brexit campaign, funded by wealthy donors like Peter Hargreaves, has led to national decline rather than the promised success. He contends that key Brexit figures, including Nigel Farage, have escaped accountability and are now positioned to profit politically from the chaos they helped create. The piece critiques the lack of democratic accountability in British politics, suggesting that Farage's potential rise to power exemplifies how those responsible for national damage often face no consequences.
