    How would you deal with the electorate if it was decided - by whomever - that Brexit was a "Bad idea", it's now cancelled and we're not leaving?
    It would need another referendum and even then, it should be on the post-EU settlement, not a re-run. A very soft Brexit would limit the damage, but if people want to vote for madness, now that they know what madness is, they should go ahead.

    Unfortunately the populaton is majority thick and it will be easy for populists to find another scapegoat for those consequences.
    But hey, who said the UK was immune to the mass stupidity that has engulfed other countries throughout history?
    Tricky, init?

    I haven't heard him talk about supply chains or passporting or if and how self-employed IT contractors will be able to sell their services into the EU.
    Just glib soundbites.
    Brexit has become a cult for some, something that has to be pursued to the end regardless of consequences.
    "Self-employed" what that then?
