In my writing life I have learned that one of the greatest problems is to get started. The sin of just making a cup of coffee to avoid the first syllable has been replaced by social media.
In my first year at Money Marketing back in 2018 I got into the fascinating world of Sipp litigation. I got my teeth into two significant cases that I covered extensively.

There is no immediate resemblance between Brexit and an obscure court case involving a Sipp provider.
One is a national psychodrama that will define the direction of the country for generations. The other is a niche legal dispute that attracts the interest of oddball pension journalists: the Carey Pensions court case.
But take a closer look and unusual parallels start to emerge.
Initially, both are not given much attention, yet they snowball to become the main fixture in the news cycle. This draws passionate comment from individuals not directly involved in the matters at stake. The buzzword, whether it is Brexit or Carey, is a proxy for deep-seated grievances.
