Not denying that.. When the referendum happened, Private Eye had an article about Brexiters crowing about how the predicted economic apocalypse hadn't happened, and the article pointed out that the reason the **** hadn't hit the fan is the fan had not started spinning yet.

Actually, that should have been an indicator of the level of detail the leave campaign worked at. They were crowing because mere days after the vote, the economy hadn't collapsed. As far as I remember, no one said any of the predicted disasters would happen before we left the EU. Based on their public statements, I've seen nothing that indicates that the current Brexiters (Johnson, Davis, Gove, Rees-Mogg, Rahb etc) go any deeper. Not a good thing in a government minister.
