But......it is only now, post the referendum, that lots of things are coming out in the wash as it were. Not matters of opinion but of fact. Like the issues around the N.Ireland/RoI border. The 'just in time' supply chains. The customs union. The single market.

We have already had a referendum to leave or stay in the EU, why do we need another? If people can't be assed to look at the facts instead of making assumptions, then they might, just might come to another turning.

I'll be honest.... all the references to "remoaners" and "project fear" got under my skin because it is a term to diss the opposition and silence debate.

Sounds like a great opportunity for the government to introduce more stealth taxes. Why not just ban smoking, industry, cows farting, cars, and we can all sign up for digitas
