We knew that Boris was a repeated liar and adulterer, but we voted for him and are surprised when he lies. We knew that the Conservative party had failed on nearly every economic and social measure over the previous eight years, yet re-elected them and are surprised that they continue to fail. We were told of the potential risks to leaving the EU but we dismissed them as Project Fear and are now surprised that it has been a disaster. Either the electorate are utterly stupid, completely myopic, or so easily led that they act like lemmings, walking the nation mindlessly over the edge despite warning signs every 50m. At some stage, surely, the nation's eyes will eventually open.
