"let's leave the single market, lose all input and Euro clearings and not be able to control immigration more than we already do" also a fantastic idea :)
Now it turns out anti-immigration sentiments (sub consciously mostly) implanted by years of the Daily Hail and a bus with a number won the vote, and the wheels on the bus have already come of.
I don't see immigration faring better, unless the UK wants to be able to exploit immigrants more, as that is the direction it's going to lately. That won't help local workers either... "take this crap wage, or get sent back cos we won't sponsor your visa" what are you going to do?

We need to keep harping on about this. Same that it was sold to people as a money saving exercise - 'we can cut through red tape and fund the NHS'. I feel like I'm living in 1984 with the level of revisionism going on, but we're living in a time of the internet and we can prove that these fuckers never sold Brexit as a way of making us worse off, even in the short term. The talk a year ago was of having our cake and eating it. Even hardcore Brexiters are susceptible to the feeling of being cheated (if they don't feel personally attacked - which just makes them double down).
