While it may seem smug, ill-informed or a Brexit gotcha it's difficult to deny the fact the anti-Brexit side of the argument has continually and repeatedly been the boy who cried wolf. It's a fucking open-goal for the right wing lunatics. No wonder progressivism is so under attack.
How do you mean? Large chunks of the finance industry have fucked off to the Netherlands, small and medium sized businesses are struggling to trade and many are closing down, trade with EU is something like 30% down, fishing is measurably fucked, farming is potentially fucked, manufacturing and automatize is literally planned to be fucked (according to the gov's own advisors) and I can't travel to most EU nations because I'm a third party national. Sounds to me like a the wolf is circling pretty closely.

Also, I called this - in this very thread. I said the govt would do whatever it needed to to keep the country moving and we would not be having a disaster. Was poo-poo'd on a lot.
Fair enough, you called it correctly - but, and it's a big but, the people who you are calling out got it wrong because they simply never considered that the government would do something so insane.
You could fill a container with pork thats' not fit for human consumption in Belarus, mark it as 'For UK', then drive straight through the whole of the EU and the UK border with zero checks and deliver said pork to a sausage plant in the UK.
