I never ever expected us to have a hard Brexit. I 100% thought we'd end up with a new hybrid that was worse than before
Agree. The mistake was believing Johnson, Gove etc from Vote Leave when they said things like “obviously we won’t be leaving the single market”
I really thought there would be some compromise where we got an “announcable” on free movement of labour that didn’t amount to much in practice, as well as leaving ECHR (which isn’t part of the EU anyway).
Probably because I didn’t expect them to risk throwing NI under the bus like they have.

I'd also say that it's easy to think certain things were obvious, but collective wisdom is a big thing. Remember when 14 Bike Co used to say filet brazed frame had more give than lugged? Or when everyone poo-pooed that guy (was it Mike-C) for running tyres at low pressure?
I never ever expected us to have a hard Brexit. I 100% thought we'd end up with a new hybrid that was worse than before but a bit better than the Nordics with lashings of spin and a union jack paint job.
