The government get ready for leaving Europe adverts in the press and on TV

Precisely. We were warned about many of the problems that Brexit will cause at the time of the referendum. Lots of people decided to ignore the advice of experts and put their trust in knobheads like Farage. See America and Trump, where Trump's followers ignore facts to support their leader.

On the UK's tombstone will read "We believed in bullshitters, not experts".

Unfortunately, many people knew they were being lied to about Brexit but liked the lies they were being told so voted for it anyway. Ditto Trump in the US. Lies that enable people to think they have control (vote Brexit and the NHS will get £350 million a week extra for the NHS.....the power is in your hands) or lies that make people think they have been hard done to (Dems stole 2.5million votes) are one that people can buy in to. Keeping Muslims out of the country was another notion that went down well with enough people to help swing the Brexit vote. The "taking back control" of borders being thinly veiled (hurrah) racism. This notion sat particularly well with the white, male, northern, obese and less well educated. Prof Danny Dorling's research into Brexit voting patterns is a real eye opener. The ultimate irony is that the government now has cabinet members who are the offspring of immigrants try to enforce our borders to keep the immigrants out and stop them taking our jobs!

Well I moved to Poland on Thursday Sludge. 400 jobs plus all the supply chain to follow me over the next couple of years, all new business into the new factory, UK plant will run out current contracts & be dead in the water by 2023. Went to Lidls this morning for my first "big" shop, total cost £21 !
