Re politics: In 2.5 years, we've gone from "It's all going to be sunlit uplands when we leave, you'll see" to "We're preparing to deploy riot police when the food and medicines run out." In 2.5 years, we seem to be at exactly the same negotiating position we were in the day after the referendum: complete uncertainty. And somehow we are not concluding: this is a terrible idea, let's call it off and maybe revisit the idea when we work out how to do it without destroying the fabric of our society and the economy? I despair.
