You speak as both sides of the argument speak with an united voice a single piont of view. A them and us approach harping back to the referendum.'Caper'? It is clear that you have a pessimistic view of Brexit , fine, but let's not then pretend that your criticism is objectively based.
You claim 'a leap into the great unknown', I well recall Remainers before the Referendum rubbishing myself and others when we alleged that the EU was undoubtedly leading us - the UK - toward a destination of a super-state. We claimed that it wouldn't allow us to leave it, soon requiring us to surrender more sovereignty - sorry 'competence' - and that it would soon demand its own military, which we would have to contribute to. Some of us asserted that there would also be demands for ever greater EU control over our economy and even the eventual surrender of fiscal 'competence'.
All that was rubbished, repeatedly, with Remainers claiming it was absurd and that such crystal-ball-gazing was not based in fact - while at the same time doing just that themselves. And yet, within months, all the above and more came out as being the EU's positive intentions which hadn't just not been mentioned by the EU / EC during the Referendum campaign - because they thought it might have an adverse effect on the Remain vote - but which were actively denied. (i.e. lied about)
This being so, which it is, what would or could remaining in the EU have been other than 'a leap into the great unknown'? You Remainers didn't know about the EU / EC's plans for a European Army, a single economy or the removal of the right for a state to unilaterally secede, or did you?
