How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Regaining control of our money, laws and borders was a simple statement and attracted many voters who couldn't (or wouldn't) understand just how complex it was going to be. - I also don't think the remain leaders ever explained the difficulties we faced as they seemed scared by leavers using the phrase "Project Fear".
"Project Fear" has become project reality and the country is fucked as a result.
I think the problem with the whole Project Fear narrative, is that apart from the pound tumbling the day after the vote (which many assumed erroneously was temporary) there was no catastrophic collapse of the economy, contrary to what Osborne had alluded to.

The economy fared pretty well from 2016 to 2019 and so Leavers stridently appropriated the term to mock the Remain Cassandras.

These things inevitably take many years to filter through.

The tragedy is that in many ways, the predictions woven into Project Fear are likely to be viewed by history as being too modest and diffident. One certainly doesn’t hear it deployed pejoratively by Leavers any more.

Like you say, Project Reality.
 
But…but…brexit…..


30,000 people watching GB News on an average day and falling, just like the viewing figures for Talk TV, with their 5,000 viewers a day and falling, puts the foghorn of ignorance and his cohorts into the irrelevance bin. I like to think so.

It's such a shame he didn't understand the Dublin agreement which we were signatories to while members of the EU, but he did personally profit to the tune of millions while heading the limited company called UKIP, masquerading as a political party and charging their customers £100 or whatever it was to be considered as prospective MP's for his company, none of whom were chosen to have their names put on any ballot paper. That income stream continued for a long while after their candidates had been chosen.

He's a fraud and one of the most destructive people in our history.
