WELL done, Brexiteers. Please enjoy your victory, your freedom, your independence day, while it still feels good.
In a few decades’ time the transition may lead to a prosperous, proud Britain.
But in the meantime, the adjustment is likely to be painful. Again, the poorest would be hit hardest, especially since Conservative ideologues are in the ascendant with no effective opposition.
The electorate will not reserve judgement for a few decades. Don’t be surprised if Nigel Farage, Michael Gove, Boris Johnson et al become some of the most reviled figures in British political history.
