Blimey, you could turn it into a virtue - Government promised us the moon and the starts, and so far everyone is losing. Just say it! Attack the government in its own backyard. Put simply, it is not, and can never be the fault of people who voted for Brexit.....it is the government for messing it up.
Not entirely with you on this one, Neil. The referendum made no mention of leaving the single market and customs union. Had that been stipulated with absolute clarity on the ballot paper, then I believe a significant percentage of people would have voted differently. Instead the country has been forced up a long blind alley by the ERG and their ilk and a shambolic Brexit was presided over by Laughing Boy mainly as a means of climbing the greasy pole he always coveted.
I've very little doubt that we will rejoin the market at some point. As every day goes by, the sheer folly of being out of it becomes more and more apparent. Even Thatcher realised that.
As for the whisky salesman Frost, I doubt that history will treat him kindly. Whatever he says, pretty much the opposite is more likely to be correct.
