I want to apologize for [yesterday’s rant about British politics](https://werd.io/2024/some-polite-words-about-the-british-general-election-on-july). That kind of rhetoric isn’t big or clever, and it runs against the tone I usually try for\*. Over time, this space has shifted from more personal thoughts towards more directed opinions at the intersection of tech and society, so newer readers may have been a bit confused.

I *am* angry, and I did take Brexit exceptionally personally. But it might have been more productive to discuss the details of why. For that, I encourage you to check out [Richard Murphy’s Funding the Future](https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/), a blog about developing a fairer and sustainable economy, which has a UK focus.

*\* Aside from my comments about David Cameron. The guy deserves it. It's hard to aporcine blame.*
