I'm sure that this whole Brexit thing do have changes and makes some things more difficult than they were when part of EU, but none of these were secrets or something not publically available for anyone who likes to search. If people voted only for some weird gut feeling or some lobbyist's voice, then it is what it is, but wouldn't underestimate people to be that stupid.
Everything was there for all to see (who have an internet connection) and this was what the majority vote. People do survive whatever happens, now people got what they wanted, there's no blame to EU or UK, there was nothing hidden if you were willing to make little bit research before giving your vote leave or stay.
The thing is Slottery none of that was being talked about.
The Leave side were literally driving around in a big red bus promising £350M extra per week for our NHS, and human detritus such as Farage was standing in front of massive Photoshopped images saying we were going to be overrun by migrants from Turkey.
At the same time we were assured that 'they need us more than we need them' and that we'd get 'the easiest trade deal in history'.
On the odd occasion some beardy economics professor tried to explain about 'country of origin' rules or 'customs equivalence' agreements, he was immediately shouted down as a boring PROJECT FEAR REMAONER, because who wants to hear about that tedious shite, right?
Four years later of course, we all know that the beardy economics professors were 100% correct.
The fact is that most people voted with their gut, Remainers included, because 99% of people didn't have a fucking clue about any of the boring technocratic shit that allows an organisation such as the EU to function. (And means that, for example, 'Just In Time' supply chains of ferocious complexity, work 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, to make sure our supermarkets are always well stocked, our chemists always have our medicines, and our factories always have the components they need to function.)
(Racists also voted with their racist instincts, you won't find a racist who voted to remain.)
IMO it's such a complex and nuanced issue it should have never gone to a referendum in the first place, we elect politicians to the House of Commons precisely so they can scrutinise all this complicated, important stuff and act in the best interests of the country.
And even if Remain had won, I'd say the same thing, simply by virtue of the fact we'd have had a narrow escape off the back of millions of people voting for something that they didn't really understand.
The truth is, neither Remainers or Leavers had any significant knowledge of the details of what they were voting for. Unfortunately the Leavers won, and they're going to take the rest of us down with them.
