    But the leave campaigns didn't. Absolutely no-one was suggesting no deal at the time. Indeed the remain side were often having to argue against Norway.

    No-one said WTO. No-one said May's deal which traps us in a limbo we can't leave and risks breaking the union.

    However you want to phrase it, no-one campaign offered anything looking like either of those two options. As Matt Chorley said in the Times the other day, any ERGer proposing no deal in 2016 would have been let anywhere near a microphone.

    No-one said anything about a hard border or breaking the union, either. But we can't leave the CU without doing one of those.

    Let's vote again now we actually have a much better understanding of the facts.

    Nice avoidance of my point, and top obfuscation to say "yeah but no-one knew we'd get to this scenario". Two years after an election, things may look different to what was talked about then, but no-one says "hey, let's go back and do the election again now we know what happens".

    Remain promised that the sky would fall on our head as soon a Leave vote happened, but apart from a currency adjustment which works both ways (London's tourism has boomed), here we are with recent employment figures as high as ever. My boss bemoans the higher wages and the lower property prices and I say to him "are higher standards of living for lower income workers really such a terrible thing?"

    You forgot to include, "who support Millwall", imo.
