  Yep. The knuckle draggers and have had their day and the Tory party is, for the time being at least, still in one piece. Quite what will happen when she returns from Brussels with a flea in her ear remains anyone's guess. The opposition continues to do anything but oppose in reality, leaving us heading for a national quagmire entirely of our own making.
  
  And still some siren voices continue to blame the remainers. I think Neil has illustrated the point very effectively but once again to spell out the hard facts - the EU is a single market. If we do not wish to be part of that market or its associated customs union, then we have to accept the fact that border controls between ourselves and the single market will be necessary. Neither the Swiss nor Norway - Sweden borders are frictionless. Our single land border with the Irish republic will not be allowed to be frictionless either. The EU places the integrity of its market above all else. This has been known from the outset but has, as Neil says, been an inconvenient truth denied, dismissed and often spurned by the real F uppers in this equation.
