"
a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses and normalizing tangential discussion, whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain"

There's just no hope for some people. Brexit has improved unity within the EU. The withdrawal agreement was contingent upon the Republic of Ireland's approval which was then unequivocally endorsed by all the other member nations; they have been open, consistent and well organised throughout the entire process, unlike the UK complete shambles.
