dolorosa_12I've had to mostly stay offline the past few days, because the large scale rewriting of history (from both the frothing-at-the-mouth ardent Brexiteers on the right, and the hardcore Corbyn cultists on the left) that 'Remainers' are somehow to blame for the catastrophe which is Brexit is making me beat my head against the wall with frustration.
Marina Hyde says it better than I can: In Brussels, the theory developed that Britain simply could not be this unprepared – it had to be a ploy. Islington-based blogger Dominic Cummings would unleash 20,000-word drive-bys on what the government was getting wrong. Dominic Raab revealed he “hadn’t quite understood” how reliant the UK was on the Dover-Calais crossing.
Honestly, the whole thing is hilarious if you don't think about the dire situation that's just around the corner.
I was right to vote against this monstrosity, I was right to push politicians to mitigate the damage it would cause, and, when that proved unsucessful, I was right to campaign for a confirmatory referendum. The past four years have proved that I was right, and the next four years will prove that even more conclusively.

Aww, thank you — although part of the problem is that the current situation has stripped me of the ability to live in France (or, indeed, anywhere in the EU)!
