Worst case: Rees Mogg and nanny fire-sale assets to vulture fund buddies and Brefugees set up Calais style camps in the empty M20 lorry parks.

WGAS?
The stupid have chosen a path, let the chips fall where they will.
FWIW The first part of your worst case scenario is actually most likely - right wing Tories see Brexit as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a US style free-market economy.
It will be be presented to the great unwashed as Britain being "dynamic and superior" and that idea will be lapped up by them even as their own living standards and rights fall behind those of their continental cousins.

Seriously, I have never seen a face so full of anger as BoJo the day after the Brexit vote result announcement. His plan was to get in line as successor to DC.

This is another political move. He does not believe in what he is saying.

He tries to make out he is a bumbling buffoon - don't be fooled.

All good solid entertainment for the world of course.

But the real joke is that Johnson only supported Brexit, so he could present himself as the patriotic leader after a No vote. Now he is trying the same trick with a hard Brexit. What will his next move be when he unexpectedly gets his hard Brexit?

Meanwhile, the useful idiots in the cheap seats lap up this nonsense and cheer the country along towards the precipice.

Please God make it so.

"The prime minister is the custodian of the plan, which is to come out of the customs union, out of the single market and to get on with it, to get on with that project with all convenient speed,” Johnson told Bloomberg Television on Tuesday. “Outward, free-trading countries -- what they want to hear from us is that we are getting on with it with confidence and brio and zap and dynamism.”
