World politics and economics are full of surprises. The idea Brexit (or any kind of policy) will ever get some kind of clean run without a war, or a recession, is fanciful.

In reality it has to work within these parameters and there’s no evidence that it does. If anything, it hinders rather than assists economic recovery by killing it in red tape and trade barriers.

That’s not to say it can’t work - but if the politicians are utterly devoid of ideas to make it work in the short term what makes you think they have any meaningful insight for the medium and long term?

We’ve got a virtual Berlin Wall to keep us in and nothing to keep migrants out.
